<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">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.
