REPORT


Assistant or Associate Professor Materials Science & Engineering and Chemical Engineering Search Number: AA9493

The Departments of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) and Chemical Engineering (ChemE) at the University of Washington invite applications for one full-time tenure-track faculty position (9-month service periods) that will be jointly appointed in the two departments. The successful candidate will have an outstanding record of high impact research that is advancing the battery chemistry and materials fields, as well as an outstanding scholarly vision for innovative research and education as a faculty member. We are primarily focused on hires at the rank of Assistant Professor although individuals at more senior ranks with exceptional credentials may be considered. Applications received by February 15, 2015 will receive full consideration, though the position will remain open until filled. Applicants must have a PhD or foreign equivalent doctorate degree in Materials Science Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline by the date of appointment. This position is part of a multi-year Clean Energy Institute (CEI) hiring campaign to build excellence that spans the scales of a clean energy economy, from molecular discovery to grid systems and operations. The candidate we seek here will be an interdisciplinary scholar with expertise in one or more areas of advanced battery chemistry and materials. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to, new and innovative battery electrodes, electrolytes, and separators; unique electrode and device architecture and processing; testing, degradation, and life modeling; and in-situ and ex-situ characterization for novel applications in consumer electronic, stationary, and transportation fields. They will be expected to teach both undergraduate and graduate courses within the two departments, to develop high quality interdisciplinary research programs, and to position the departments to better serve the needs of society for advanced energy storage solutions. All University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research, and service.
