The School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering (CBEE) at Oregon State University (OSU) seeks to fill one or more full-time (1.00 FTE), tenure-track/tenured, nine-month assistant professor, associate professor, or full professor positions in chemical engineering to begin Sept. 16, 2024.

Upon appointment to faculty, rank will be determined commensurate with qualifications. OSU's College of Engineering (COE) has committed to being a national model of inclusivity and collaboration. We strive to develop a community of faculty, students, and staff that is inclusive, collaborative, diverse, and centered on student success. We seek applicants who will broaden our capacity to advance student success and close gaps across demographic groups.

Any hiring at the rank of Associate Professor/Professor with indefinite tenure will be subject to a successful out-of-cycle tenure review process: https://facultyaffairs.oregonstate.edu/out-cycle-tenure-review-procedure.

The position requires a Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering or a closely related field, by the start of employment. The successful candidate must have the academic preparation to teach courses in the chemical engineering undergraduate and graduate curriculum.   Expertise in any area of chemical engineering or closely related fields will be considered, but ideally the expertise of the applicant will align with one or more of the following Signature Research Areas within the OSU College of Engineering, including: Advanced Manufacturing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Clean Energy & Water, Materials Science, and Health-related Engineering.  Specific areas of interest for one of these positions include Semiconductor Innovation and AI in Chemical Engineering. 

CBEE is housed within Johnson Hall, which contains state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities. The school is part of several research centers and institutes, including the Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Institute (ATAMI), and the Northwest Nanotechnology Institute (NNI). The Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex (CIC), planned for completion in 2025, will house state-of-the art facilities for semiconductor research and advanced computing. 

CBEE provides formal education to undergraduate and graduate students, performs sponsored and unsponsored research for the benefit of the State of Oregon, private industry and the federal government, and conducts public service activities. The individual in this position is expected to perform a combination of duties related to teaching and advising in chemical engineering, advancing appropriate research and other scholarly work, and performing service activities. Duties will support the expansion of advanced materials research in the School of CBEE through research focused on experimental and/or computational discovery and implementation of novel materials and processes. This work is in alignment with COE signature research areas of advanced materials, artificial intelligence, and computing.

This position is designated as a critical or security-sensitive position; therefore, the incumbent must successfully complete a criminal history check and be determined to be position qualified as per University Standard: 05-010 et seq. Incumbents are required to self-report convictions .
