Announcement of Open Faculty Positions

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.  Appointments at a more senior faculty level are possible depending on qualifications and expertise.

 

As a tenure track professor, the candidate is expected to teach  fundamental, core and advanced nanoscale science and/or engineering courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels; propose and conduct specialize higher level courses in an associated field of expertise; provide mentoring to students engaged in the pursuit of masters and Ph.D. degrees; conduct high quality research in areas of interest to the Center for Sustainable EcoSystem Nanotechnologies; apply for and receive external funding to the point of becoming self funded within a reasonable time frame; and publish high quality papers in respected, peer reviewed journals. In addition, it is expected that professors will participate in activities that provide service to the university and the community.

The college is seeking individuals with experimental, theoretical and computational skills in order to investigate the control and characterization of materials structure, processes and properties at the nanoscale; the synthesis of novel and exciting materials with remarkable yet tailor made properties; the fabrication of structures at the nanoscale; and the integration into meaningful and relevant ecosystem components

 

In particular, it is desirable that research will be aimed at providing the basic nanoscience and nanoengineering understanding necessary to enable one to address issues related to energy efficiency, renewable energy generation, conversion, transmission and storage, and their relationship to sustainable ecosystems, thus providing the scientific understanding necessary to solve cutting edge problems at the intersection of nanotechnologies and sustainable ecosystems involving energy, water, and biosystems.

 

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.

 

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 1,800 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 750,000 square feet, including over 80,000 square feet of Class 1 cleanroom space, to house over 2,000 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. in an appropriate concentration in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering sciences, materials science, or materials engineering from a college or university accredited by a USDOE or internationally recognized accrediting organization.  Postdoctoral experience is desired. The candidates must possess demonstrated excellence in academic, scientific and scholarly activities and a proven track record in pursuing externally funded research programs in one of the technical areas listed above. Applicants must address in their applications their ability 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.

 

Please submit a minimum of three letters of recommendation, statement of research interests, statement of teaching interests, a sample research paper, and curriculum vitae to:
