The Auburn University Department of Chemical Engineering invites applications for multiple tenure track faculty positions. These tenure track appointments are to become effective in August 2017.

Our department seeks outstanding candidates who have a Ph.D. in chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, or related field. The areas of expertise are open; however the individuals selected for these positions will be expected to contribute to the growth of at least one of the department’s strategic focus areas: energy and environment, advanced materials, computer-aided chemical engineering, and pharmaceutical/biomedical engineering.

Additionally, the department is leading two multidisciplinary Cluster Hire Initiatives in the areas of Scalable Energy and Pharmaceutical Engineering. Candidates selected for these Cluster Hire Initiative positions will be expected to participate actively in the respective clusters. New faculty with expertise in Scalable Energy and Pharmaceutical Engineering will complement the University’s considerable expertise in these areas to form the core of this innovative multidisciplinary initiative. For candidates selected for these cluster positions, participation in cluster activities will be an important component in faculty annual reviews. For more information regarding the Cluster Hires please see the following link:
