Boise State University - Materials Science & Engineering - Assistant/Associate/Full Professor

INSTITUTION: Boise State University
DEPARTMENT: Materials Science & Engineering
POSITION: Assistant/Associate/Full Professor
LINK: na
NOTES:
The Department of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) at Boise State University plans to hire three tenure track faculty by fall 2012 to help grow its undergraduate and graduate programs. Hires will be made at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level. A doctoral degree in MSE, or a closely related field, is required. Successful candidates will be expected to be highly collaborative, contribute significantly to both graduate and undergraduate research, and make balanced contributions to teaching, research, and service.

Faculty are being sought who have expertise that support or are complimentary to strategic research areas of the department and university. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

- computational (from small to large, short to long);
- transport (thermal, optical, electrical, atomic, and confinement effects);
- polymeric (soft-condensed matter physics and polymer chemistry);
- biomaterials (DNA machinery, bio-inorganic interfaces, and nanotechnology);
- green technology (solar, LED, energy applications, sustainable and strategic materials);
- fabrication and joining (thin films, functional and advanced materials);
- characterization (surface and microstructural analysis, physical properties).

The MSE Department is part of a vibrant College of Engineering, recently ranked 12th in U.S. News & World Report’s list of best undergraduate engineering programs among comprehensive public universities. The College offers a variety of accredited programs and enjoys a high level of support from the high-tech industry in Idaho and the intermountain west. The MSE program is ABET-accredited and has been one of the fastest growing materials programs in the U.S., offering BS, MS, MEngr, and PhD degrees. The recent addition of the PhD degree was made possible by a generous donation from Micron Corporation and additional University support.

Application Procedures: Qualified applicants should send a cover letter, CV, statements of research and teaching interests, and contact information for at least three professional references to: MSEsearch@boisestate.edu.

Review of applications will begin March 15, 2012 and will continue until a qualified applicant pool is established.
