[labnetwork] MicroNano Faculty Openings at the University of Louisville

Tue Nov 4 12:42:27 EST 2014

Dear Micro/Nano Colleague,

The University of Louisville just began its important search for an ECE Endowed Chair in Micro/nanotechnology Advanced Manufacturing along with several other faculty searches in the departments of BE, ME, IE, ChE and Engineering Fundamentals (EF).  The ECE Endowed Chair position is specifically targeted in the area of micro/nanotechnology advanced manufacturing and is expected to be an active user of our $30M, 10,000 sq ft cleanroom facility and lead a very strong research program.  The position comes with a very competitive salary and substantial annual mission support from its large endowment.  The other faculty positions are not specifically targeted in the area of micro/nanotechnology, but candidates with that type of experience are welcome to apply.  More information about those positions can be found in the link below.

Also attached below is a detailed description for the Endowed Chair position in our Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. If you are interested or know of someone who might be, please encourage them to apply.  If I can be of assistance, feel free to contact me.

Thanks for your help.
Go Micro/Nano!

Vogt Endowed Chair of Advanced Manufacturing

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Louisville invites applications and nominations for the Vogt Endowed Chair of Advanced Manufacturing. As the complexity of manufacturing continues to evolve, there is a growing need for research and training in advanced manufacturing (AM) techniques and the design of associated miniature devices required by the AM field. To satisfy this need, the Speed School of Engineering at the University of Louisville seeks to attract an accomplished researcher with a proven track record in multi-scale advanced manufacturing with a special  emphasis in the micro/nano domain.  The new Vogt Professor is expected to pursue research topics in such areas as:

                                *      Networked sensors for self-aware manufacturing
                                *      Bioinspired engineering of sensors and sensor systems
                                *      Manufacturing of soft and flexible electronics
                                *      Micro/nanoscale energy harvesting for wireless sensing
                                *      3-D self-assembled structures, strain engineering
                                *      Soft robotics, micro robotics and microactuators

The associated endowment will provide the Vogt Professor with continuing resources to support research staff and students, and comes with a highly competitive compensation package. The successful candidate is expected to leverage our university's top-rated $30M 10,000 sq ft cleanroom as a part of a vibrant research program.  In addition, the candidate must have an earned Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field, and an outstanding record of scientific research, doctoral student mentoring and continuous extramural research funding. The successful candidate will continue their research program, teach undergraduate and graduate courses, and mentor younger colleagues.

Applicants should submit online (at http://www.highereddecisions.com/uofl/current_vacancies.asp) a letter of application that indicates their qualifications, a current curriculum vitae that includes names and contact information for three references, and a short description of their future teaching and research plans. Applications will be reviewed beginning on January 15, 2015. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. The expected starting date is August 2015.

The University of Louisville is a state-supported metropolitan research university located in Kentucky's largest urban area.  The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering within the J. B. Speed School of Engineering is located in the 177-acre Belknap Campus.  Louisville has world-class performing arts, great sports, a nationally-acclaimed parks system and is home to the Kentucky Derby.  It was named one of America's Breakout Cities for 2014 by CNN Money, the top travel destination for 2013 by Lonely Planet  and the Most Livable City in America (large-city category) in 2012 by the U. S. Conference of Mayors. The University of Louisville is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity, Americans with Disabilities Employer, committed to diversity, and in that spirit, seeks applications from a broad variety of candidates.
