[labnetwork] 2 open positions at UofL

Tue Nov 10 19:06:50 EST 2015

I am pleased to announce 2 open faculty positions at the University of Louisville in the research thrust areas of Advanced Manufacturing and/or Sustainability.  These are interdisciplinary research areas and the successful candidate will be comfortably placed in their most appropriate engineering academic department.  The University of Louisville just became part of the NSF next generation NNIN, which is called the NNCI (National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure).  Our site's theme is advanced multi-scale manufacturing, consistent with this search.  I encourage candidates to consider this opportunity in the fine City of Louisville.

Two Positions in Advanced Manufacturing and Sustainability at J.B. Speed School of Engineering, University of Louisville

J.B. Speed School of Engineering invites applications from exceptional candidates with proven  track  record  to  strengthen  the  21st   century  university  research  initiatives  in advanced manufacturing and  sustainability. The positions  are  expected at  a  rank  of associate  professor  and  will  be  housed  in  the  appropriate  discipline  based  on  the candidate's educational qualifications and research interests. The following list of topics represent our preference but are not exclusive in nature.

Advanced   Manufacturing:   Additive   manufacturing   and   3D   printing;   digital manufacturing and digital design; multi-scale manufacturing and integration; novel high throughput, low cost processes such as roll-to-roll, inkjet printing and micro-embossing, next generation micro and nano fabrication; smart materials for advanced manufacturing; bio-integrated and bio-compatible manufacturing.

Sustainability:  Renewable energy  (solar,  biomass, energy  storage, advanced energy materials),  energy  efficiency  (lighting  and  catalysis),  nitrogen/phosphorous  cycles, accelerated materials discovery, and advanced application and design.

The chosen faculty candidates are expected to leverage resources and facilities available at  our  existing  centers  of  excellence including Conn  Center  for  Renewable Energy Research,  and  the  Micro/NanoTechnology Center (www.louisville.edu/micronano<http://www.louisville.edu/micronano>),  Additive  Manufacturing  Research Center. The candidates must have an earned Ph.D degree in an engineering discipline, and outstanding records of scientific research, doctoral student mentoring, and continuous research  funding.  The  successful  candidates  will  develop  an  imaginative  research program that is both transformational and translational in nature and contribute to both undergraduate and graduate teaching.

Applicants should apply online for Job ID 463 at (https://highereddecisions.com/uofl/current_vacancies.asp).  The   letter   of   application should indicate their qualifications, a current curriculum vitae, a short description of research  and  teaching  plans  along  with  a  contact  list  of  three  or  more  references. Applications will be reviewed beginning December 1st, 2015 and applications will be received until the positions are filled. The expected start date is August 15, 2016.

The University of Louisville is a state-supported metropolitan research university located in Kentucky's largest urban area. The J.B. Speed School of Engineering is located in the
