Description

The Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth invites applications for chaired positions in Materials Science and Engineering. Exceptional early-career candidates at the rank of assistant or associate professor will be considered for the Vincent Faculty Development Chair, while outstanding mid-career and senior candidates will be considered for a distinguished professorship. We seek candidates with a doctorate in materials science, engineering or a closely-related field who show strong potential to lead an externally-funded research program targeting transformational advances in Materials Science and Engineering. Examples of research areas include but are not limited to computational modeling, advanced manufacturing, energy materials, quantum materials, and applications of ML/AI to materials development or processing.

Qualifications

The successful candidates will be gifted teachers with motivation and expertise that complements the Thayer School's interdisciplinary approach to engineering education. They will contribute to a distinctive research and education program addressing innovative technological responses to societal challenges. The chairs provide resources to help launch a high-impact research program and foster leadership across the materials community at Dartmouth, leveraging the recently-upgraded Electron Microscopy Center, WeFab cleanroom facilities, machine shop, and Discovery Cluster high-performance computing facilities.
