University of Nebraska, Lincoln--Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

INSTITUTION:University of Nebraska, Lincoln
DEPARTMENT:Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
POSITION:Assistant Professor
LINK:https://employment.unl.edu/postings/37440
NOTES:

Successful candidates are expected to establish a vigorous research program of national and international recognition, to teach undergraduate and graduate chemical and biomolecular engineering courses, collaborate with other faculty, and be involved in service to the university and profession. Ideal candidates are also expected to contribute to the undergraduate and graduate academic programs within the department and demonstrate a commitment to excellence in both teaching and research.

The Department has 12 full-time tenured/tenure-track faculty, 140 undergraduates, and 30 graduate students. The research areas are open for this position. The faculty member will complement our work in Biocatalysis, Biomaterials, Biomedical Engineering, Synthetic Biology, Electrochemical Engineering, Water Desalination, Separations, Nanomaterials, Inorganic materials, Fuel Cells, and Polymers.

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering resides in a $24 million building that was built in 2003. It features the latest in research laboratory design, including a modern and well-equipped bio-process manufacturing facility, a state-of-the-art computer control system for laboratories; and next-generation distance education technology. In addition to this building, the University has a $13.8 million Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience (NCMN) collaborative facility that was completed in 2011. NCMN is a multidisciplinary organization with over 90 faculty members. Research areas include: material properties at the nanoscale, self-assembly, ordered nanoarrays, quantum dots and wires, nanoelectronics, quantum computing, nanomechanics, nanooptics, molecular design, nanoelectro-mechanical systems, and nanobiological function and life sciences.

Applicants must have a bachelor degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering or a related field and must have earned a Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering or a related field.

Must have a strong record of scholarly achievements and will complement our work in Biocatalysis, Biomaterials, Biomedical Engineering, Synthetic Biology, Electrochemical Engineering, Water Desalination, Separations, Nanomaterials, Inorganic materials, Fuel Cells, and Polymers.

Top priority is given to candidates who demonstrate excellence in scholarship, independent of research field.

Applications must be submitted via http://employment.unl.edu requisition F_130216. Complete applications will include: (1) curriculum vitae (including demonstrated research success); (2) statement of research and teaching plans (up to six and three pages, respectively); (3) three copies of selected publications; and, (4) the names of four references.
