The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Utah
(https://www.che.utah.edu)
invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at
ranks commensurate with experience. Successful candidates are
expected to develop dynamic, externally funded research programs
that lead to national and international recognition and to
demonstrate excellence in teaching at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Chemical
Engineering or a related field and be able to teach core chemical
engineering courses.

We seek the best available candidates with research strengths
focusing on the broad areas of energy-related research (especially
sustainable/renewable energy and energy systems engineering), the
interface between chemical engineering and medicine, advanced
manufacturing, and electrochemical science and engineering.
Candidates with research focused on theoretical, computational,
and/or experimental aspects of these fields are all welcome to
apply. Candidates are encouraged to indicate how they will
incorporate AI into their educational and research goals.

The department has grown significantly in recent years with a total
of 25 faculty members, about 60 students at each level in our
undergraduate program, and over 75 graduate students. Our
department fosters a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment.
Our faculty work closely with other departments on campus, as well
as with the Energy & Geoscience Institute, the Huntsman Cancer
Institute, University Hospital, the School of Medicine, the
Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI), and the Nuclear
Engineering Program. Faculty members have access to an extensive
array of core research facilities distributed between the main
University and the adjacent Health Sciences campus, including a
state-of-the-art nanofabrication facility and a surface analysis
core. The department is expanding advanced biomanufacturing,
including hands-on training, translational research, and strong
partnerships with Utah's biotechnology and biopharmaceutical
industries. The Center for High Performance Computing provides
advanced high-performance computational resources, technical
support, and training for individuals in simulation science.

The University of Utah is an R1 research institution and a member
of the Association of American Universities (AAU). It is a leader
in technology innovation and commercialization, and is consistently
ranked among the top in the US for the number of companies created
from academic research labs.

The state of Utah enjoys a thriving economy and is consistently
recognized as one of the top states for business, job growth, and
quality of life. Situated in the vibrant urban environment provided
by Salt Lake City, the University of Utah also provides ample
access to outdoor recreation year-round.

The Department of Chemical Engineering fosters a supportive,
collegial atmosphere where people from all backgrounds are welcome.
The Department and Price College of Engineering support junior
faculty with formal and informal faculty mentors, teaching pedagogy
workshops, and proposal/grant writing workshops. Additionally, the
