MATERALS SCIENTIST

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR Department of Materials Science and Engineering

Solar Wafering R&D SUNEDISON is a global leader in the manufacture and sale of wafers and related intermediate products to the semiconductor and solar industries. With R&D and manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, SUNEDISON enables the next generation of high performance semiconductor devices and solar cells. At SUNEDISON, we are looking for talented individuals who are original thinkers, with the ability to succeed in a team environment and the capacity to assume increasing responsibility in a highly successful global organization. Primary Responsibility Develop and demonstrate new slicing technologies for silicon solar wafers. Develop and test new materials and new equipment for slicing silicon. Collaborate in the development of new quantitative models for slicing processes and product properties from slicing. Support SunEdison’s solar factories with travel up to 50% of the time. Proactively communicate and collaborate with management, team members, and fellow scientists. Candidate Qualifications • Education—PhD degree in Materials Science is preferred. In-depth knowledge of materials science with detailed knowledge of fracture mechanics, friction and abrasion science, and mechanical properties of ceramics is desired. The candidate should have hands-on expertise with ceramics testing and characterization equipment, and experience in mathematical modeling of ceramic behavior and properties. • Job related experience—Experience in silicon processing is desired but not required. • Other competencies—Data-driven, detail-oriented, persistent, highly collaborative

The School of Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The Department has broad interests and worldclass expertise in glasses, nanostructured and bio materials, electronic materials, metals, polymers and their composites, and computational materials science. Applications will be considered from outstanding candidates in all fields of materials science and engineering, but we have particular interest in candidates whose research is focused at the materials – biology interface. Rensselaer is investing heavily in the broad field of materials research, including a multi-million dollar investment in a state-of-the-art nanoscale characterization core. The institution’s commitment to excellence is documented in the Rensselaer Plan (www.rpi.edu/president/plan/index.html). Candidates must have a doctoral degree (or foreign degree equivalent) in a relevant engineering or science discipline and must demonstrate outstanding potential and initial accomplishments in materials research, as well as promise of future distinction in scholarship and education. Responsibilities of the position include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, supervision of graduate students, scholarly research, and generation of rese
