"Assistant Professor Materials Chemistry"

The Department of Chemistry (http://www.umass.edu/chemistry) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst invites applications for a full-time, academic year, tenure-track faculty member to develop or continue a vigorous research program in Experimental Materials Chemistry; applications are particularly encouraged in the area of Inorganic Materials Chemistry.

We are seeking talented applicants qualified for Assistant Professor positions. Under exceptional circumstances, highly qualified candidates at other ranks will receive consideration. Women and applicants from other groups underrepresented in Chemistry are particularly encouraged to apply. A Ph.D. degree or equivalent in Chemistry or a related field with relevant post-doctoral experience is required.

The successful candidate will join a vibrant, collaborative and interdisciplinary materials science and engineering community at UMass Amherst and will also be a member of the recently initiated interdisciplinary materials science and engineering graduate program (MSE IDGP; https://websites.umass.edu/mseidgp/), which brings together over 60 faculty members from the College of Natural Sciences and College of Engineering.

Along with the application, please submit a cover letter, curriculum vita, statements of research and teaching, and contact information for three (3) professional references. Candidates are encouraged—via cover letter or a personal statement—to articulate how their work aligns with UMass Amherst’s Strategic Plan: For the Common Good. Review and evaluation of applicants will begin as early as October 1, 2025 and continue until November 3, 2025. Further evaluation of applicants past this date may also proceed until suitable candidates have been identified.
