Tenure Track Faculty for the Department of Materials Science & Engineering

The Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering (JHU-DMSE) seeks applicants for multiple tenure-track faculty positions with preference for the assistant professor level. We have particular interest in computational materials science, including data science and artificial intelligence, advanced materials characterization, materials for energy, quantum materials, and biomaterials, but candidates in all MSE areas will be considered.

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering has fourteen tenured and tenure-track faculty, several other research and teaching faculty, plus affiliated faculty in most divisions of the University. JHU-DMSE leads the Materials Characterization and Processing Facility (MCP, https://engineering.jhu.edu/MCP/about/) and the Materials Science in Extreme Environments Consortium (MSEE, https://hemi.jhu.edu/mseeura/), contributes to leadership in major JHU research centers and institutes including the Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT, https://inbt.jhu.edu/), the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI, https://hemi.jhu.edu/), and the Ralph S. O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI, https://energyinstitute.jhu.edu/), and offers educational programs at the undergraduate, master’s and Ph.D. levels. DMSE research expenditures are over $10 million/year, and its collaborative research impact is far higher. More information about JHU-DMSE can be found at engineering.jhu.edu/materials.

The Whiting School of Engineering comprises well over 200 full time tenure-track and other faculty in nine academic departments with a total annual research budget of over $100 million. Research partnerships with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Applied Physics Laboratory, Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences (all of which host JHU-DMSE collaborators) make the Whiting School of Engineering a unique research and educational environment. Student enrollment exceeds 1800 at the undergraduate level with over 1000 full time MS and PhD students. The Engineering for Professionals program enrolls over 2000 part time continuing education students and is the largest program of its kind in the country.

During the Influenza ("the flu") season, as a condition of employment, The Johns Hopkins Institutions require all employees who provide ongoing services to patients or work in patient care or clinical care areas to have an annual influenza vaccination or possess an approved medical or religious exception. Failure to meet this requirement may result in termination of employment.

The pre-employment physical for positions in clinical areas, laboratories, working with research subjects, or involving community contact requires documentation of immune status against Rubella (German measles), Rubeola (Measles), Mumps, Varicella (chickenpox), Hepatitis B and documentation of having received the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccination. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines; two (2) Varicella vaccines; or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers. Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office.
