<p><strong>The Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (CBE) at the University of Iowa (UI) invites applications for an open-rank tenure track position,
</strong>with an anticipated August 2022 starting date<strong>.</strong> Preference will be given to candidates with expertise in the formulation and design of instrumentation for Earth observation from space or airborne platforms. In addition, candidates with
expertise in the development of novel sensor materials, distributed and smart sensor networks, and big data analytics are encouraged to apply. Successful candidates should demonstrate potential for attracting extramural funding and establishing a research
program that will contribute to the advancement of observation technology for studying the atmosphere, climate and/or Earth systems. The successful candidate will develop a teaching portfolio both in chemical engineering and in research-relevant areas such
as earth observation, sensor technologies, and atmospheric/environmental sciences.</p>
<br>
<p>CBE is a vibrant, collegial, research-active department with 10 tenure-track faculty, over 200 undergraduate students, 35 graduate students, and a diverse team of postdoctoral researchers, professional, instructional, and administrative staff. CBE has an
established global reputation for research innovation in atmospheric and fire remote sensing, atmospheric modeling, and environmental measurements. A successful candidate will complement this research strength and will be able to use the world-class fabrication
and other facilities of the Department of Physics and Astronomy (P&A). The first satellite (Explorer 1) launched by the United States carried the Cosmic-Ray Detector designed by UI in 1958. Since then, UI-built instruments have been launched on over 70 different
spacecraft. In addition to developing and growing their own research program, the candidate will have the opportunity to leverage and bridge P&A’s excellence in space instrumentation, with CBE’s strengths in atmospheric modeling and remote sensing algorithms.</p>
<br>
<p>This position is a new strategic hire in the College of Engineering. Our college has six academic departments, several research centers of excellence, and research expenditures of $50M per year. All academic units are hosted in the Seamans Center for the
Engineering Arts and Sciences, which enables frequent and regular opportunities for engagement with students, faculty, and staff throughout the college. Within the College of Engineering, the Iowa Technology Institute has the first-class flight-testing facility
(including 7 manned aircraft) through its Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL) in the Iowa City airport. Additionally, the IIHR- Hydraulic Science and Engineering Center has a vibrant research program in related areas, including hydrology, environmental informatics,
water quality, and flood prediction. Collectively, the atmospheric and Earth science research in the University of Iowa is also fostered by the Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research, the Office of Sustainability, and other interdisciplinary
departments, centers, and colleges (including the College of Public Health and Carver College of Medicine). Additional information be found at
<a href="https://cbe.engineering.uiowa.edu/">https://cbe.engineering.uiowa.edu</a>, in the section of ‘Faculty Search’. </p>
<br>
<p>The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering, atmospheric science, chemistry, physics or other related field. The search committee is especially interested in candidates who will bring to their research the perspective that comes
from nontraditional educational background or an understanding of the experiences of those historically underrepresented and/or marginalized in STEM fields. The University of Iowa understands the link between diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and excellence
in education. We are proud to be the first public institution that admitted both men and women regardless of race (since our founding in 1847), and the first to extend benefits to employees’ domestic partners (in 1992). We embrace our shared responsibility
to create a welcoming and inclusive campus culture so that all community members can unlock their own potential. Faculty in the College of Engineering contribute to DEI by designing curricula, research programs, and engagement opportunities that challenge
the status quo, cultivate empathy, seek out diverse perspectives, and value global citizenship. To learn more about the University of Iowa’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, visit

<br>
<p>The College is committed to recruiting and retaining talented and diverse faculty and staff, which includes providing dual-career resources and opportunities for employees to “Build a Career
<em>and</em> Build a Life” in the Iowa City area. The University offers several benefits to support faculty and their families in achieving a healthy work/life balance. For more information, please visit this link:
