Announcement of Open Faculty Position
NanoEngineering Constellation
College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering
The University at Albany
Albany, New York
As part of its multi-year strategic
plan, the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany-SUNY
invites applications for two tenure track positions
at the assistant professor level in its NanoEngineering Constellation.
Opportunities are available for individuals with expertise in the areas of:
(i) optoelectronic, photonic, and/or nano-optoelectronic materials, devices,
and architectures; (ii) magnetic (such as spintronic) materials, devices, and
architectures; (iii) molecular (such as carbon nanotube, graphene, …) materials,
devices, and architectures; (iv) nanolithography, such as ultra-violet,
e-beam, and/or molecular imprint lithography; (v) 3D hyper-integration of
devices and systems; and (vi) nanoengineered energy and environmental technologies.
The CNSE NanoEngineering Constellation is a “think
tank” of scholarly excellence in research and education that is designed to
catalyze and encourage cross-disciplinary innovation and pedagogy, as driven
by the fundamental intellectual underpinnings of nanotechnology. As part of its portfolio, the CNSE
NanoEngineering Constellation is implementing a graduate (doctoral and
Masters) degree in nanoengineering that provides a comprehensive education in
the application of nanoscience principles to practical applications, such as
the atomic scale design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and
functional structures, machines, processes, and systems.

Candidates should have a
Ph.D. in an
appropriate concentration in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering,
materials science, materials engineering, biology, biotechnology, or
electrical engineering from a college or university accredited by a USDOE or
internationally recognized accrediting organization. The candidates must also have a strong
publication record and must possess demonstrated excellence in academic,
scientific and scholarly activities, and proven ability to establish vigorous
externally funded research programs in one of the technical areas listed
above. Applicants must address in their applications their abilities to
work with and instruct a culturally diverse population. Joint appointments in
the other CNSE constellations are possible and highly encouraged where
appropriate. Candidates will be asked to submit a list of publications
related to their research activities.
The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering of the University at Albany-State
University of New York is the first college in the world devoted exclusively
to the research, development and deployment of innovative nanoscience,
nanoengineering, nanobioscience and nanoeconomics concepts. In May 2006, it was ranked by Small Times magazine as the
nation’s number one college for nanotechnology and microtechnology. CNSE’s Albany NanoTech complex is the most
advanced research facility of its kind at any university in the world: a $3
billion, 450,000-square-foot complex that attracts corporate partners from
around the world and offers students a one-of-a-kind academic experience, and
it is growing.
The UAlbany CNSE is also home to the New
York State Center of Excellence in Nanoelectronics. The CNSE complex, financed through more than
$500 million in governmental support and over $2.5 billion in corporate
investments, houses the only pilot prototyping facilities in the academic
world for the two standard sizes in computer chip design, the 200-millimeter
(or 8-inch) wafer, and the 300-millimeter (or 12-inch) wafer. CNSE
has more than 150 U.S. and worldwide partners,
including some of the world’s largest semiconductor and semiconductor-related
tool manufacturing companies. For
