Employment Opportunities

A successful transition to a sustainable, carbon-neutral, society of the future requires unprecedented collaboration across multiple disciplines. Recognizing this, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) at the University at Buffalo (UB) seeks applicants for a multi-departmental faculty cluster that will engage collaboratively on shared problems in the broad area of clean energy. Faculty appointments at all levels (assistant, associate, and full professor) are anticipated, with one hire each in the Departments of:

• Chemical & Biological Engineering (CBE)
• Civil, Structural, & Environmental Engineering (CSEE)

The cluster will emphasize multidisciplinary collaboration, both among faculty within this group and with existing colleagues across SEAS and UB. Applicants should have a strong and demonstrated commitment to engagement in collaborative research and education.

For applicants in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, preferred research interests include wind-energy conversion technologies, renewables (e.g., nanomaterials), solar or other clean energy technologies; other areas of clean energy will be considered.
