FACULTY OPENING
Artie McFerrin
Department of Chemical Engineering
Texas A&M
University
The
Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University
is seeking applicants for tenure-track faculty position. Possible titles
include Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor dependent on the
successful candidate’s qualifications, in the field of chemical process safety
or system safety. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in chemical engineering or
related field. They must also have the potential and a commitment to excellence
in undergraduate/graduate teaching, research, and service. This is a
tenure-track position; teaching is a requirement of this job.
Research areas of particular interest are process safety, system safety, and risk analysis. Either industrial experience in the process industries or academic research in a related area is desirable. A history of publication in peer-reviewed journals is required.
The Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center is a research center affiliated with the Chemical Engineering Department and is currently engaged in research in source-term modeling of chemical releases, aerosol experiments and modeling of aerosols, inherent safety, flammability, reactive chemicals, process control, process systems engineering, inherently safer design, analysis of accident databases, performance measurement, and risk analysis. The mission and vision of the Center and other information is available at process-safety@tamu.edu.
In addition to process safety the Center serves as the coordinator for a multi-disciplinary program in safety engineering. This program leads to either a safety certificate associated with any baccalaureate degree in engineering, or masters degree in safety engineering. The Center currently has over 30 PhD students from multi-disciplinary backgrounds (e.g., chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, industrial engineering). Participation in all these programs is also expected. Applications must include the following:
(1) curriculum vita (including research and teaching interests),
(2) statement of research and teaching plans,
(3) copies of selected publications, and
(4) names of five references.
