T
Nanoscience & Materials
he Department of Chemistry
and the Materials Science Institute
at the University of
Oregon are seeking outstanding candidates
as part of a new cluster of hires
within the fields of materials science
and nanoscience. This exciting opportunity
builds off a decade of program
growth and a strong regional
partnership through the Oregon
Nano science & Microtechnologies Insti
tute (ONAMI). These new hires
will contribute to and benefit from
(i) a thriving culture of institutional
and regional collaboration; (ii) an
exceptional col lection of shared research
instrumentation through the
UO’s Center for Advanced Materials
Characterization in Oregon and the
NWNanoNet; (iii) a new Integrative
Science Complex, including the Lorry
Lokey Laboratories, a 25,000 sq.-
ft. high-performance (nano)materials
characterization and fabrication facility;
and (iv) an innovative graduate
program that supports several large
graduate training grant programs. We
seek candidates with a demonstrated
commitment to working effectively
with students, faculty and staff from
diverse backgrounds.
UO Presidential Chair. Developed
in partnership with ONAMI, this endowed
chair is an exciting opportunity
for a dynamic, collaborative leader to
join a leading program in nano- and
MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
materials science within a strong interdisciplinary
environment with stateof-the-art
research facilities. The ideal
candidate is a senior investigator with
a well-established research program
related to the UO’s nanoscale and materials
science programs related to sustainability.
The successful candidate
will be expected to conduct a research
program of national prominence and
to conduct excellent teaching in the
Department of Chemistry.
Nominations should highlight the
candidate’s qualifications and provide
his/her contact information. Applicants
should submit a letter stating
interest in the position and describing
qualifications related to those cited
above, a CV, and the names and contact
information for five references.
In addition, a statement of philosophy

however, the search will remain
open until the position is filled.
ONAMI Signature Researcher.
This new position, also created in
partnership with ONAMI, is a tenure-track
Assistant Professor position
in the fundamental science of materials
or nanomaterials. The potential
for establishing a vigorous independent
research program in materials
chemistry and active participation
and excellence in teaching at the undergraduate
and graduate levels will
be the most important criteria for
selection. Applicants whose research
plans complement those of UO and
ONAMI researchers in the areas of
synthesis, structural analysis or physical
investigation of nanostructured
or nanoscale materials will be given
priority.
Applications (including a CV, statement
of research and teaching interests,
and three letters of reference)
for the Signature Researcher position
should be directed to #8320 Materials
Search Committee, Department

The Department of Materials Science & Engineering at the University of Washington seeks a full-time
tenure-track faculty member to begin Autumn Quarter 2009.
The candidate for this entry-level, tenure-track position should have an excellent record of published research
in the field of materials science and engineering with a research focus on molecular engineering (MolE). MolE
is a broadly defined field associated with the design, fabrication, and delivery of functional molecules and
molecular systems for a broad range of applications including medical, energy, electronics, and photonics.
The candidates’ work should be truly interdisciplinary in nature with potential to establish collaborations with
departments in physical and biological sciences, engineering, and medicine. The selected faculty will have
ample opportunities to collaborate with a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary centers and institutes including
the NSF-STC on Materials & Devices for Information Technology, the NSF-MRSEC on Genetically Engineered
Materials Science & Engineering Center, the NIH-funded Microscale Life Science Center, and the Institute
of Advanced Materials & Technology. A doctoral degree is required. Candidates in the final stages of a doctoral
degree program may be considered. The department seeks candidates at the assistant professor rank;
however, commensurate with the qualifications of the individual, an appointment may be made at the rank of
associate professor. This hiring is contingent upon available funding.
The department, the College of Engineering, and the University of Washington are committed to excellence
in both education and research. UW faculty engage in teaching, research and service. Successful applicants
will be expected to provide innovative and quality teaching that integrates research with instruction. He/she
will be expected to teach both undergraduate and graduate courses within the department and to develop high
quality interdisciplinary research programs. UW currently has the highest level of federal funding of all public
universities. The MSE department has 15 faculty, >100 undergraduates, ~75 graduate students, and 20 postdoctoral
researchers. The department’s research portfolio covers all classes of materials and state-of-the-art
facilities are available in the department and in interdisciplinary research centers on the campus including the
NSF-STC for Materials & Devices for Information Technology and the NSF-MRSEC for Genetically Engineered
Materials. More information about the department is available at http://depts.washington.edu/mse/.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 01/15/09. Applicants should include the following documents and information
