The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE) at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering invites applications for two tenured or tenure-track faculty positions in Chemical Engineering, with the earliest start date of September 1, 2025.

The CBE Department is undergoing major expansion that will nearly triple its size from 2016 to 2026 in a newly renovated, modern laboratory space at the heart of Brooklyn. The Department presently seeks two additional colleagues to join in the following multidisciplinary initiatives:

(1)   The Sustainable Engineering Initiative (SEI) seeks to establish a leading ecosystem centered on education, research, and translation of technologies to Avoid, Mitigate, Remediate, and Adapt to climate change and environmental challenges. Candidates applying to the SEI position are expected to establish research programs with focus on sustainable engineering. Our department seeks candidates for this position at any rank, from Assistant to Full Professor, with rank to be determined by experience of the candidate. The following research areas are strongly encouraged:

?      Computational chemical engineering with a focus on approaches that span multiple length and time scales, including density functional theory and molecular dynamics.

?      Experimental chemical engineering with a focus on polymer sustainability or separations for chemical manufacturing, water purification, resource recovery from waste streams, or critical minerals production or recycling.

(2)   The NanoBioX Initiative is a research and development engine for disruptive innovations powered by combining novel advances in nanofabrication, nanoelectronics, data science and biotechnology to solve pressing societal challenges in precision medicine and neurotechnologies. Our department seeks candidates for this position at the tenure-track Assistant Professor level.  Candidates applying to the NanoBioX position are expected to establish research programs with focus on molecular and nanoscale approaches to solving medical or biotechnological challenges within, or close to, following areas:

?      Diagnostic and monitoring devices including wearable and implantable technologies

?      Nanotechnologies for cell reprogramming 

? Drug delivery, and design of composite and other non-living biomaterials

Ability to collaborate with colleagues facilitating translation of research concepts and prototype designs is highly desirable.

Qualifications

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in chemical engineering, materials science, biomedical engineering, bioengineering, or a related discipline. A distinguished record of scholarship, leadership, curricular innovation, entrepreneurship, and an excellent funding record is desired from senior candidates, while junior candidates must demonstrate clear potential to achieve the same. All candidates must demonstrate or show potential for excellence in teaching and mentoring.

Please submit the following materials electronically through the "Apply Now" button.

• Cover letter

• Current CV

• Research Statement not to exceed 4 pages, including references

• Teaching statement not to exceed 3 pages, including references

• A statement of your experience with or knowledge of inclusion, diversity, equity, and belonging  efforts and your plans for incorporating them into your teaching, research, mentoring, and service.

• Recent teaching evaluations (if available)

• Names and contact information for three references.

We strongly encourage interested candidates to apply by October 7, 2024. The review of applicants will continue until the positions are filled. For any questions, please contact: Prof. Rasti Levicky at rlevicky@nyu.edu.

New York University (NYU) is one of the top private universities in the United States with an unparalleled network of global campuses and academic centers. NYU?s Tandon School of Engineering, located in the heart of Brooklyn, dates back to 1854, the founding year of both the New York University School of Civil Engineering and Architecture and the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute. Backed by an historic commitment of $1 billion  and under the new leadership of Juan de Pablo as the University?s Executive Vice President for Global Science and Technology and Tandon?s Executive Dean, the Engineering School is entering an exciting new phase to recruit world-class faculty conducting groundbreaking basic and applied research in key areas. We are home to a community of renowned faculty and undergraduate and graduate students united in a mission to understand and create technology that powers cities, enables worldwide communication, fights climate change, and builds healthier, safer, and more equitable real and digital worlds. The school?s culture centers on encouraging rigorous, interdisciplinary collaboration and research; fostering inclusivity, entrepreneurial thinking, and diverse perspectives; and creating innovative and accessible pathways for lifelong learning in STEM.

NYU Tandon is committed to substantially increase the proportion of our faculty from historically underrepresented groups in STEM and we encourage candidates from such groups to apply. We aspire to create a climate where diversity and inclusion are not only appreciated but considered an asset for creativity and innovation, and we seek faculty who have a real passion for a culturally diverse environment. We take pride in our high numbers of female students and students who are the first in their family to go to college. NYU belongs to the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC), which assists with dual-career searches, and our faculty are supported by a range of work-life balance programs provided by the NYU Office of Work Life.
