R.K. Mellon Endowed Faculty Positions in Energy As part of the University of Pittsburgh’s strategic expansion of its Center for Energy (www.energy.pitt.edu), the Swanson School of Engineering invites exceptional applicants for endowed faculty positions at all ranks in the following key research areas: Q
Q
Energy delivery and reliability, with an emphasis on electric power transmission and distribution systems, advanced power electronics technologies (FACTS and DC systems), power system modeling and analysis, power system operation and control, and renewable energy integration. Materials for energy-related applications, with an emphasis on experimental and/or computational efforts on structural and functional materials used in harsh service environments, and therefore including corrosion engineering, catalysts, energy storage, thermo-electrics and sensors.
These key areas also complement our existing and emerging research and education activities in carbon management and utilization, unconventional gas resources, and direct energy conversion and recovery. Established as part of a recent $22 million gift from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, a total of four endowed faculty positions are available: two Professor-level appointments as R.K. Mellon Chairs in Energy and two Assistant/Associate Professor appointments as R.K. Mellon Faculty Fellows in Energy.
