Senior Faculty Position in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering

The University of California, Berkeley solicits applications for a senior faculty position beginning in the fall of 2005. Creative and energetic candidates who have demonstrated extraordinary accomplishment in research and teaching are specifically sought in fields that are at the intersection between nanoscience, nanotechnology and information sciences. Areas of consideration include nanostructured materials for quantum information processing, molecular electronics, and self- and directed assembly of nanoelectronic devices and circuits. This faculty search will be conducted under the auspices of the Berkeley Nanosciences and Nanoengineering Institute, with participation from the Departments of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering, Molecular and Cell Biology, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Bioengineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to interact with scientists and engineers across a wide spectrum of disciplines, and to help develop the new interdisciplinary Nanoscience and Nanoengineering Initiative at Berkeley.

Applicants should send complete a curriculum vita, a selection of publication reprints (five or less), and a brief statement of future research plans and teaching interests. Applications should be sent to:

Paul Alivisatos, Chair
Faculty Recruitment Committee;
Berkeley Nanosciences and Nanoengineering Institute Department of Chemistry
University of California; Berkeley, CA 94720-1460

The deadline for receipt of applications is December 15, 2004. Application review will begin October 15, 2004. The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.

Assistant Professor Position in Nanoscale Science and Engineering

The University of California, Berkeley solicits applications for a tenure track, Assistant Professor position beginning in the Fall of 2005. Creative and energetic candidates who have demonstrated extraordinary accomplishment in research and teaching are specifically sought in the fields at the intersection of nanoscience and nanotechnology and the biological sciences. Examples include but are not limited to nanostructured materials for detection, imaging and manipulation of biomolecules and cells; and the use of biological macromolecules for non-biological functions, such as synthesis of nanoscale materials, energy conversion, and sensing. This faculty search will be conducted under the auspices of the Berkeley Nanosciences and Nanoengineering Institute, with participation from the Departments of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering, Molecular and Cell Biology, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Bioengineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Successful candidates will have the potential to interact with scientists and engineers across a wide spectrum of disciplines, and to help develop the new interdisciplinary initiative in nanoscale science and engineering.

Applicants should send a complete curriculum vita, a selection of publication reprints (five or less), a brief statement of future research plans and teaching interests, and the names of at least three references to the address below. Applicants should request their references forward letters of reference to the same address. These letters will not be requested directly by the department.

Applications should be sent to:

Chair, Faculty Recruitment Committee
Berkeley Nanosciences and Nanoengineering Institute
Department of Mechanical Engineering
University of California; Berkeley, CA 94720-1740

The deadline for receipt of applications, including references, is January 15, 2005. The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
