Jobs/Recruiting
- Stanford
Position: Lecturer in Chemistry
Brief description: The Stanford Chemistry Department invites applications for a Ph.D.-level Lecturer position to begin September 1, 2026 to join a team of 4 other Lecturers in the Department. The candidate should have a strong background in any area of chemistry and a passion for teaching. This position is a full-time, 9-month, fixed-term, full-benefit appointment, with the possibility of optional summer teaching opportunities. - Purdue University
Position: Assistant Professor of Advanced Chemistry
Brief description: Engineering for and from biology provides new solutions to improve human, environmental, and global health. The questions of who designs these solutions, who we engineer for, and how these solutions impact society are important to our faculty. UC Santa Barbara understands that this is too important to the future of our society to be left to a single discipline or limited population — and the Department of Bioengineering and our faculty are ready to address these questions head-on in authentic partnership with thought leaders across our campus and the world. We especially encourage candidates who will benefit from interaction with several established and growing initiatives on campus, including our strength in shared use facilities. - University of California, Santa Barbara
Position: Assistant Professor of Bioengineering 2025-26
Brief description: Purdue University invites applications for multiple tenured or tenure-track faculty positions as part of a multi-department strategic faculty recruitment initiative in Advanced Chemistry, Science and Engineering. This strategic initiative will help position Purdue as a global leader in clean and sustainable chemistry innovations with the ultimate goal of reshoring the manufacturing of critical chemicals and materials. Participating departments include: Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, and Agricultural and Biological Engineering. - NC State University
Position: Open Rank – Assistant/Associate/Professor
Brief description: The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NC State University seeks highly qualified candidates to fill multiple tenure-track and/or tenured faculty positions. These positions will complement departmental strengths in biomanufacturing and engineering life sciences, energy and sustainability, materials, and data and computational engineering. Applicants must have earned a Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering or a closely related field with a clearly demonstrated record of excellence. We particularly encourage applications in the areas of biomanufacturing, energy and sustainability, and semiconductor manufacturing, with particular emphasis on integration of AI technology in these fields. - Washington State University
Position: Assistant/Associate/Full Professor
Brief description: The Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering (VSCEB) is hiring for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level. The VSCEB is recruiting for multiple ranks depending on the candidate’s qualifications (refer to the required and preferred qualifications section). As the successful candidate you are expected to establish a dynamic, externally funded, nationally recognized research program, teach core and elective undergraduate and graduate courses in chemical engineering, mentor a diverse group of students, perform professional service, and publish scholarly work.
All available positions can also be found on the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering opportunity website, so be sure to check it regularly.
