[ES_JOBS_NET] Assistant Professor in Sustainability & Environmental Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University

[Ryan Sullivan]

The Department of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in sustainability and environmental chemistry. 

Areas of interest include: mechanistic studies of the chemical transformations and impacts of environmental pollutants – especially in aqueous systems and at complex interfaces, interactions between contaminants and biological/ecological systems, the sustainable chemical or biological-based degradation or recycling of toxic or persistent materials in order to promote the circular economy, and achieving molecular-level control of the chemical lifecycle of long-lived chemicals, polymers, and materials. In addition, we have a strong interest in the development of new massively parallel methods, real-time analysis, and miniaturized sensors or devices to understand the biological or environmental impacts of chemical contaminants and for rigorous evaluation of any new sustainable chemistries and materials, particularly to detect low-dose adverse health effects such as caused by endocrine disrupting chemicals. The development and application of novel analytical and data science-based techniques to detect and investigate the chemical fate of emerging pollutants is also an area of keen interest. 

In addition to the analytical instrumentation available in the Department for walk up use in the Center for Molecular Analysis, the successful candidate will have access to a state-of-the-art remote laboratory (Academic Cloud Lab) outfitted with a suite of modern analytical instrumentation and robotic capabilities for large-scale multiplexed assays. Extensive and modern facilities and expertise for device design and prototyping are also available on campus in the Materials Characterization Facility and the Nanofabrication Facility.   

Appointments across multiple departments, which are strongly supported and part of the culture at Carnegie Mellon, are possible when appropriate.  Carnegie Mellon offers highly competitive salaries and start-up packages in an attractive urban environment.

Qualifications
A Ph.D. degree along with postdoctoral research experience is required. The tenure-track appointment will be made at the assistant professor level.

Carnegie Mellon University is committed to increasing the diversity of its community on a range of intellectual and cultural dimensions. We welcome faculty applicants who will contribute to this diversity through their research, teaching, and service. Carnegie Mellon seeks to meet the needs of dual-career couples and is a member of the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC) that assists with dual-career searches.

Application Instructions
Applications, including a cover letter, a curriculum vitae (including publication list), research and teaching statements, a diversity statement (outlining how you have contributed to, or plan to contribute to, diversity, inclusion, and equity), and the contact information for at least three individuals who have been asked to upload confidential letters of reference should be submitted electronically to  https://apply.interfolio.com/93256 <https://apply.interfolio.com/93256>.

Applications will be reviewed starting September 30, 2021.

You can contact the chair of the search committee, Prof. Ryan Sullivan (rsullivan at cmu.edu <mailto:rsullivan at cmu.edu>), should you have any questions.


Best regards,
Ryan
