Columbia Engineering invites applications for one or more tenured or tenure-track faculty positions. Appointments at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Full Professor rank will be considered. Applications are specifically sought in any area encompassing materials science and engineering, and their intersections with advanced manufacturing and fabrication, energy, health, sustainability, and materials for extreme environments. Novel material designs, leveraging artificial intelligence and advanced experimental techniques and material characterization, are of particular interest, as are cross-cutting efforts involving material design, synthesis, and fabrication at the intersections with Columbia Engineering Initiatives and Centers, the Sciences, the Climate and Medical Schools, and the Data Science Institute.

Qualifications

The candidate will fit into one (or more) of the following relevant departments in the School of Engineering: Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics; Biomedical Engineering; Chemical Engineering; Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics; Earth and Environmental Engineering; Electrical Engineering; and Mechanical Engineering. 

Applicants for this position at the Assistant Professor and Associate Professor without tenure levels must have the potential to do pioneering research and to teach effectively. Applicants for this position at the tenured level (Associate or Full Professor) must have a demonstrated record of outstanding research accomplishments, excellent teaching credentials, and established leadership in the field. The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the advancement of the school/department in these areas by developing an externally funded research program, contributing to the undergraduate and graduate educational mission of the department(s), and establishing multidisciplinary research and educational collaborations with academic departments and units across Columbia University.
