Carnegie Mellon University: Mellon College of Science: Chemistry

Location: Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA

Description:

The Department of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University seeks applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in experimental and/or theoretical chemistry at the rank of assistant professor or higher depending on qualifications. We seek applications from researchers in a broad range of disciplines within chemical sciences and have a particular interest in those who are pursuing new approaches, including the use of automation in the design, synthesis, and/or characterization of molecules and materials. Research in broadly defined areas including human health, (bio)chemical catalysis, clean energy, and environmental monitoring and remediation would be an excellent fit to the current themes in the department and the college. Carnegie Mellon offers a highly interdisciplinary environment combined with an exciting new focus on modern data-driven/automated approaches. This significant investment is exemplified by recent hires in the areas of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence and the construction of the first academic Cloud Lab (https://cloudlab.cmu.edu/) to support experimental efforts in these key frontier scientific areas. The successful applicant will be able to leverage these resources, along with the University's strengths in engineering and computer science, to make unique contributions to the field of chemistry.

Qualifications:

We seek scientists who are eager to join and contribute to a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment that promotes innovative research, education, and service initiatives. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry or a closely related field and preferably relevant post-doctoral research experience. Selection will be based in part on a record of research publications in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals, prospects for obtaining external funding, and the potential to become an outstanding teacher/mentor of students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels from a wide range of disciplines, cultures, and academic backgrounds.
