College of Engineering

University of Delaware

Applications are invited for an open-rank cross-disciplinary tenure-track faculty position in computational materials science in the College of Engineering at the University of Delaware. The position will have a primary appointment in the Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) Department and a secondary appointment in Material Science and Engineering (MSEG) Department. Areas of high interest include but are not limited to AI, machine learning, computer vision, scientific and high-performance computing, complex network science, and algorithms with applications to computational materials design and materials genome, data driven materials modeling and discovery, and materials informatics. Outstanding candidates in all areas will also be considered. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. or its equivalent in a relevant field. We encourage all ambitious, innovative individuals, who have demonstrated excellence in research and drive to become leaders in their fields while engaging in high-quality teaching and mentoring of diverse students, to apply.

The University of Delaware encourages multi-disciplinary collaborative research, and new faculty have the opportunity to participate in many university initiatives, including the Data Science Institute, the Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence, the Delaware Biotechnology Institute, the Center for Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, the Delaware INBRE, the Delaware Center for Musculoskeletal Research, the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals, the Delaware-CTR ACCEL, the Ammon Pinizzotto Biopharmaceutical Innovation Center, the Institute for Engineering-Driven Health, the Institute for Financial Services Analytics, and Health Sciences at the STAR campus. New faculty will also have the opportunity to be involved in the UD-based interdisciplinary graduate training programs funded by NIH and NSF including NIH T32 Chemical Biology Interface, NIH T32 Predoctoral Training Program in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and Biomedical Data Science, and NSF NRT Computing and Data Science Training for Materials Innovation, Discovery, and Analytics.

The 7th oldest institution of higher education in this country, the University of Delaware (with about 18,000+undergraduate and 3,000+ full-time graduate students) today ranks among the nation's top 100 universities in federal R&D support for science and engineering, and among the top 60 schools of engineering nationwide. The 194,000-square-foot Harker Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Laboratory includes shared laboratories for nanofabrication and advanced materials characterization and greatly expands opportunities for interdisciplinary research and education, and the 272-acre STAR (Science, Technology and Advanced Research) campus offers even more opportunities for research, academic, and commercial development. The University is a Land-Grant, Sea-Grant, and Space-Grant institution, and its beautiful 100-acre central campus is located halfway between Washington, DC and New York City, and about one hour away from Baltimore and Philadelphia.
