The Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago invites applications for an assistant professor-level, tenure-track, faculty position in computational soft materials engineering. We seek applicants pursuing research in the area of polymeric and soft matter. We especially welcome applicants with a focus on computational and machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to understand and engineer molecular and materials systems. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, coarse-grained molecular modeling of polymeric systems, mesoscale and multi-scale modeling, data-driven and AI-enabled materials screening and engineering, and in areas with strong potential for collaborations with existing experimental and computational research groups. Candidates will complement and bolster existing strengths in the area of soft materials engineering within PME, and, more broadly, at University of Chicago.
Qualifications
Prior to the start of employment, qualified applicants must hold a PhD degree or equivalent in Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or relevant field of study. We especially welcome applicants with relevant postdoctoral experience.
