The Department of Materials Science and Engineering is engaged in a multi-year hiring effort for tenure-track professors whose interests are aligned with the School of Engineering and Applied Science’s strategic plan.

Applicants from all materials-related research areas are invited to apply, with particular interest in candidates who develop and/or use artificial intelligence, data science, and machine learning tools for new quantum materials discovery, synthesis, characterization, and applications with precisely controlled responses to external fields. Penn Engineering has signature initiatives in Data Science, Quantum devices and engineering (QUIEST) and Energy and Sustainability, as well as world-class facilities at the Singh Center for Nanotechnology and the Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter.

We seek individuals who are committed to nurturing and building our scholarly community in the broadest sense, participating in departmental, school-level, and university-level efforts towards this goal, and to work closely with students to identify and address challenges.

Penn Engineering strongly supports dual career couples, and we welcome and encourage inquiries about dual career assistance (for academic and non-academic opportunities) at an early stage of the recruitment process.

The application window for this faculty positions is now closed.
