Log #:  07A060  Assistant/Associate/Full Professors (POOL)

Posted:  10-9-07

 

 

The University of Alabama (UA) is seeking four to six new tenure-track faculty members to be associated with its Center for Materials for Information Technology (MINT).  The MINT Center is an interdisciplinary center for materials research.  Its mission is to perform and publish world-class research in materials and phenomena relevant to information technologies, to educate students in the relevant disciplines and to serve as a communication channel for the information technology industry.

 

The MINT Center emphasizes collaborative interdisciplinary research, shared equipment, and dedication to excellence in research and teaching in an environment that is simultaneously challenging and supportive.  MINT is recognized nationally and internationally for its research in information storage and supports an NSF-Funded Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC).  Approximately 30 faculty members from the departments of physics, chemistry, metallurgical and materials engineering, chemical and biological engineering, electrical and computer engineering, and applied mathematics participate in MINT research.

 

Applicants should have a commitment to interdisciplinary research in materials.  A Ph.D. degree in physics, chemistry, materials science, metallurgy, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, applied mathematics or a closely related discipline is required.  Successful candidates will be appointed to tenure-track positions in one (or possibly more) of the participating departments.  Expertise is especially desired in the areas of nanoscale characterization and microscopy, top-down and bottom-up nanofabrication and self-assembly, theory of nanoscale materials and their properties, phenomena in low dimensional materials such as nanowires, nanotubes and two dimensional systems, and in novel interactions of electromagnetic radiation with matter.  Application areas of interest include (but are not limited to) information storage, next-generation memory and logic devices and energy storage and conversion. 

 

Additional information regarding this cluster hire may be found at the MINT web site www.mint.ua.edu.  Applicants should email the following to:  clusterhire@mint.ua.edu:

 

1. Cover Letter

2. Curriculum Vitae

3. List of Publications and Patents

4. Statement of Research Interests

5. Statement on Educational Philosophy

6. List of References

 

Review of applications will begin on December 10 and will continue until the positions are filled.
