Tenure-track Faculty Professor, Materials Science and Engineering, University of Pennsylvania

The School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania initiated a period of significant growth in 2015 that has resulted in 30 new faculty hires of which four are in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.  The department is continuing this aggressive, multi-year hiring effort by seeking a tenure-track assistant professor.  Exceptional applicants for tenured associate and full professor positions may also be considered.

Applicants from all materials-related research areas are invited to apply, especially those with expertise in (1) materials for health sciences, (2) electronic materials, and (3) structural materials.  Additional descriptions of these research areas and the Penn Engineering’s strategic plan are available (www.mse.seas.upenn.edu/faculty-staff/index.php).
