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.

About Us

New York University (NYU) is one of the top private universities in the United States, and NYU Tandon School of Engineering traces its roots back to 1854, building on an illustrious past as Brooklyn Poly and the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering. Our mission is to excel in research, teaching, and entrepreneurship and inspire and educate engineers for the 21st century — backed by an historic commitment of $1 billion to recruit new faculty, fuel groundbreaking basic and applied research in key areas, and expand the Downtown Brooklyn campus. NYU Tandon faculty are world renowned leaders in science and technology, with a strong commitment to research, innovation, and entrepreneurship that make a difference in the world. We lead and have ties to multidisciplinary centers in wireless technology, cybersecurity, urban informatics, data sciences, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and health, among others. Our faculty and students are part of the high-tech start-up culture in New York City and in downtown Brooklyn, and we support three “future lab” business incubators that connect our students and faculty to today’s innovation economy. We are deeply committed to teaching and learning, and with NYU's unrivaled global network of campuses, we promote a truly global engineering education.

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.
