The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (ChBE) at Tufts University invites applicants for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level as part of a focused effort to further strengthen key research areas. Exceptional candidates will be considered at other ranks. The anticipated start date is January 2021. Current strengths of the department lie in advanced materials for energy and sustainability, cellular and biomolecular engineering, systems engineering and process modeling. Additional information about the department can be found at: http://engineering.tufts.edu/chbe/.

The successful candidate is expected to develop and maintain an active, highly visible research program and to demonstrate excellence in teaching, including core chemical engineering subjects, and in mentoring both undergraduate and graduate students.

We seek applicants whose research complements our current strengths in catalysis, advanced materials for energy and sustainability and molecular engineering. We especially encourage applicants whose expertise is in catalysis, including design of catalytic materials at the molecular and atomic scale, surface and molecular engineering, and related experimental or computational approaches. We seek individuals who embrace opportunities to work collaboratively within the department as well as across the School of Engineering (SOE) and the University.

Tufts' SOE distinguishes itself by the interdisciplinary focus and integrative nature of its engineering education and research programs, within the environment of both a "Research I" university and a top-ranked undergraduate institution. We offer the best of a liberal arts college atmosphere, coupled with the resources of a major research university. Home to nine graduate and professional schools across four campuses, Tufts University prides itself on its culture of cross-school partnerships. Tufts' Medford/Somerville campus is located only six miles from historic downtown Boston, facilitating extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaborations, as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the region.
