"Faculty Position in Energy Storage and Electrochemical Systems"

Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) and the Climate School (CCS) invite applications for a jointly appointed, tenured, chaired, full professor position in energy storage and electrochemical systems. This is a senior faculty role representing a strategic institutional commitment to problems that really make a difference at large scales.

We seek an exceptional scholar and leader with demonstrated expertise in electrochemical systems, energy storage technologies, and pathways to real-world implementation and impact. The successful candidate will bridge rigorous fundamental research with systems-level climate solutions, connecting molecular design to global impact modeling. They will also be expected to work across disciplines, bringing together diverse fields of knowledge to address the complexities of the energy transition. This position offers unique opportunities to engage with Columbia's comprehensive energy research ecosystem, from atomic-scale characterization and multiscale modeling to grid-level systems integration.

The successful candidate will establish an externally-funded research program addressing critical technical barriers to advancing energy storage technologies toward commercial viability and climate-relevant scale. They will integrate their work within Columbia's existing multiscale research ecosystem, collaborate across engineering and climate disciplines, and contribute to advancing technologies competitive on economic merit, balancing scientific discovery with commercial relevance.
