As part of its multi-year strategic plan, the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany-SUNY invites applications for two tenure track positions at the assistant professor level in its NanoEngineering Constellation.

Opportunities are available for individuals with expertise in the areas of: (i) nanoelectronics devices and architectures; (ii) nanoscale engineering for energy and environmental applications (iii) nanosystems engineering for materials, devices, and architectures; (iv) nanolithography, such as ultra-violet, e-beam, and/or molecular imprint lithography; (v) emerging nanomaterials and device engineering.

The CNSE NanoEngineering Constellation is a "think tank" of scholarly excellence in research and education that is designed to catalyze and encourage cross-disciplinary innovation and pedagogy, as driven by the fundamental intellectual underpinnings of nanotechnology.  As part of its portfolio, the CNSE NanoEngineering Constellation is implementing a graduate (doctoral and Masters) degree in nanoengineering that provides a comprehensive education in the application of nanoscience principles to practical applications, such as the atomic scale design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and functional structures, machines, processes, and systems.

Qualifications:

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in an appropriate concentration in materials engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, chemistry or equivalent from a college or university accredited by a USDOE or internationally recognized accrediting organization. The candidates must also have a strong publication record and must possess demonstrated excellence in academic, scientific and scholarly activities, and proven ability to establish vigorous externally funded research programs in one of the technical areas listed above.  Applicants must address in their applications their abilities to work with and instruct a culturally diverse population. Joint appointments in the other CNSE constellations are possible and highly encouraged where appropriate. Candidates will be asked to submit a list of publications related to their research activities.

The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering of the University at Albany-State University of New York is the first college in the world dedicated to the education, research, development and deployment of innovative nanoscience, nanoengineering, nanobioscience and nanoeconomics concepts.  In May 2007, CNSE was ranked by Small Times magazine as the world's number one college for nanotechnology and microtechnology. CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex is the most advanced research facility of its kind at any university in the world: a $4..5 billion, 800,000-square-foot megaplex that attracts corporate partners from around the world and offers students a one-of-a-kind academic experience.

The UAlbany NanoCollege houses the only fully-integrated, 300mm wafer, computer chip pilot prototyping and demonstration line within 65,000 square feet of Class 1 capable cleanrooms. More than 2,000 scientists, researchers, engineers, students, and faculty work on site at CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex, from companies including IBM, AMD, SEMATECH, Toshiba, ASML, Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron, Vistec Lithography and Freescale, among many others CNSE has more than 250 U.S. and worldwide partners, including many of the world's leading nanoelectronics companies and organizations.
