Faculty Positions The
University at As part of its multi-year strategic plan, the 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 |
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: |
