Purpose of Position
The Chemistry Department would like to hire a fulltime tenuretrack assistant professor for AY 202526 in the broad area of experimental solidstate chemistry/materials science. A specific focus on solidstate chemistry and in synthesizing and characterizing materials including those at the nanoscale will strongly complement our existing expertise in nanochemistry and theoretical/computational quantum computing. The miniaturization of electronic materials is essential for significant progress in utilization of nearearth orbit and more distant space exploration. This point can also be argued from a security framework as chemicals for developing such devices often are controlled by competitive or indifferent governments.
The Chemistry Department is housed in the College of Arts & Sciences and offers an ACScertified B.S. degree B.S./M.S. and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Established in 1883 the UND is the oldest research university in North Dakota. It is the states flagship university and is classified by the Carnegie Foundation as having a high research activity. Founded with a strong liberal arts foundation UND has grown into a prominent scientific research university and was recently ranked among the top 100 public and top 25 most innovative universities in the country by U.S. News and World Report and is widely regarded as among the top universities in the American Northern Plains region. UND offers degrees in more than 225 fields of study with over 14000 students. It is the home of the states only School of Law. The School of Medicine has major initiatives in rural and public health and Aerospace is home to one of the first and largest unmanned aerial vehicle programs in the world.
UND is located in Grand Forks North Dakota a vibrant college town of over 57000 people located on the border of North Dakota and Minnesota. Short commutes a great publicschool system high quality medical facilities low crime ample parks and theaters and a cost of living below that found in large American cities are some of Grand Forks advantages. Ranked as one of the top 5 Best Small College Towns and Americas Best Hockey Town Grand Forks offers stellar quality of life without the metropolitan hassles.
Duties & Responsibilities
