Faculty Position in Structural Materials

The Materials Department in the College of Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, is seeking applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of Structural Materials. Applications at the Assistant Professor level are encouraged. Truly exceptional candidates may also be considered for Associate or Full Professor levels.

Candidates should demonstrate the ability to develop a leading research program in experimental materials science, with emphasis on the synthesis, processing and/or characterization of Structural Materials. Of primary interest are systems where mechanical performance is essential, especially under severe environments, in advanced energy systems or when multiple functionalities are involved. Interests also include advanced methods to characterize structure and topology at different length scales, as needed to understand the relationships with properties. It is expected that the candidate would demonstrate potential for integrative and collaborative research with the broader Materials community at UCSB, which has a longstanding reputation for collaborative research in advanced structural materials.

Applications consisting of a résumé, a statement of teaching goals and philosophy, a brief (3-page limit) statement of research interests, and the names and addresses of at least three references, should be submitted online at:
