RANK AND DISCIPLINE

QUALIFICATIONS

Open Faculty Position – Tenure Track
NanoEconomics Constellation, College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering

Opportunities are available for individuals with expertise in the areas of formulation, study, and analysis of the economic and business principles underlying the development and deployment of high technology, with emphasis on nanoscale know-how, products, and systems. Successful candidates’ are expected to have or establish, as appropriate to their experience and rank, externally funded research programs in the broad area of the economics and business of technology, with emphasis on nanotechnology.

The CNSE NanoEconomics 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.

The UAlbany NanoCollege houses the only fully-integrated, 300mm wafer, computer chip pilot prototyping and demonstration line within 65,000 square feet of Class 1 capable cleanrooms. Over 1800 scientists, researchers, engineers, students, and faculty work on site at CNSE’s Albany NanoTech complex, including IBM, AMD, SONY, Toshiba, Qimonda, Honeywell, ASML, Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron, and Freescale. An expansion currently underway will increase the size of CNSE’s Albany NanoTech complex to over 7500,000 square feet, including over 80,000 square feet of Class 1 cleanroom space, to house over 2000 scientists, researchers, engineers, students and faculty by the end of 2008. For more information, visit www.cnse.albany.edu.

Candidates must have a Ph.D.(before their start date) in a relevant field of business or economics from a college or university accredited by a USDOE or internationally recognized accrediting organization, strong publication record and demonstration of solid applied research. 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. All candidates are asked to submit a list of publications related to their research activities.

Preferred candidates for assistant professor appointments should have completed their Ph.D. and show promise as independent, extramurally funded investigators. Preferred candidates for associate and full professor level appointments must have established records of publication and extramural research support.

As part of its portfolio, the CNSE NanoEconomics Constellation is currently developing graduate (doctoral and Masters) degrees in NanoEconomics that will mesh economics and business with Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, requiring a strong interdisciplinary command of the languages and concepts involved in all these areas. The degrees will provide graduates the tool-kit necessary for success in the academic, corporate, and public policy arenas – including the ability to analyze macroeconomic and industry market conditions, and provide insight into legal and ethical matters.

The UAlbany CNSE is the first college in the world dedicated to research, development, education, and deployment in the emerging disciplines of Nanoscience, Nanoengineering, NanoBioscience and NanoEconomics. In May 2007, it was ranked as the world’s number one college for nanotechnology and microtechnology in the Annual College Ranking by Small Times magazine. CNSE’s Albany NanoTech complex is the most advanced research facility of its kind at any university in the world: a $4.2 billion, 450,000-square-foot complex that attracts corporate partners from around the world and offers students a one-of-a-kind academic experience.
