About CCSE
The College of Chemical Sciences & Engineering (CCSE) brings together the education and the research activity of UM6P in chemistry, materials science and process engineering. Its School of Chemical Sciences & Engineering (SCSE) hosts the Integrated Preparatory Cycle, the Engineering Cycle (GUP+) and a Bachelor in Chemical & Materials Engineering. Student enrolment is projected to grow from approximately 280 students in [contact details available in the full listing] to more than 500 by [contact details available in the full listing], across the Integrated Preparatory Cycle, the Engineering Cycle and the Bachelor.
The College is building a faculty whose first mission is teaching, and whose research is carried out within its eight R&D entities (CBS, HTMR, ACER, ARC-Air, LIMSET, SUSMAT, IST&I and MSN). The successful candidate will be affiliated to one of these entities, determined at the time of appointment according to their background and to the priorities of the College. The position is therefore defined at the level of the College and of its academic programs, and not at the level of a single research theme: the teaching assignment described below applies whichever entity of affiliation is retained.
