Tenure Track Position in Nanomaterials and Surface Science

Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada

The Department of Chemistry at Queen's University invites applicants for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate level to complement the research of the Carbon-to-metal Coating Institute (C2MCI).
The successful candidate will develop a globally recognized, externally-funded, interdisciplinary research program focused on surface chemistry, nanoscience, microscopy, and surface characterization techniques.
Expertise in scanning tunnelling microscopy and strong connections to the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy will be considered an asset.
Applicants should be creative scientists with a strong commitment to research, graduate training, and promotion of equity, diversity, and inclusion in STEM.

This position is made possible by a transformative $30M investment by Bruce Mitchell (Sc'68, DSc'20).

Decreased teaching and administrative responsibilities will be associated with this position to enable the candidate to develop a world-class research program.
The preferred starting date is July 1st, 2025.

The C2MCI is an international institute in the Department of Chemistry focused on developing cutting edge solutions to prevent the corrosion of metals and enable their manipulation and stabilization on the macro to nanometer scales.
Our diverse global team includes experts from chemistry, physics, health sciences, and engineering.
Current research includes developing and testing the next generation of coatings for bulk metal surfaces, the application of novel organic materials in semiconductor manufacturing, and the development and testing of novel metallic nanomedicines.

Qualifications

Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent completed by the start date of the appointment.
The main criteria for selection are calibre of the research program, collaborative potential and teaching excellence.
