Faculty Positions

Tenure Track Faculty Position in Bioengineering and Biotechnology

The Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College is inviting applications for a faculty position in the Biotechnology/Bioengineering area. This position will strengthen the School's commitment to one of its core research thrusts, Engineering in Medicine. Successful applicants will have a Ph.D in the life sciences and/or engineering and will be evaluated based on (i) the potential to establish an internationally recognized research program and (ii) the desire to excel as a teacher at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Priority will be given to candidates who: (i) can build a distinctive research program in the area of engineered living systems (e.g., cell and metabolic engineering, protein engineering, glyco-engineering, etc.) or engineered systems that interact with living systems (e.g., biomaterials, bio-imaging, ex-vivo protein engineering, etc.). The potential to collaborate with faculty at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and other life science departments at Dartmouth (e.g., Biology, Immunology, Microbiology) is viewed as a significant advantage during the review process. Candidates with industrial research experience are particularly encouraged to apply. The current search is focused on junior faculty at the Assistant Professor level, although exceptional candidates at other ranks will be considered.

Dartmouth's Thayer School is both an undergraduate department of Engineering Sciences and a graduate professional school of Engineering. Within an interdisciplinary framework, over a dozen faculty are active in biotechnology and bioengineering with particular emphasis on (i) cell and metabolic engineering, (ii) biomedical imaging, (iii) environmental engineering, and (iv) material science.

Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Energy

Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth seeks to hire a faculty member who can contribute to a distinctive research and education program addressing technology responses to societal energy challenges. The successful candidate will have a doctorate in engineering or closely related field, will show promise of leading an externally-funded research program targeting transformational advances in energy conversion and/or utilization, and will be a gifted teacher with motivation and expertise that complements Thayer School's interdisciplinary curriculum. All fields of engineering will be considered. Applications of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Material science and engineering: solar power generation, energy storage, and advanced materials promoting efficient energy conversion and utilization – e.g. in the wind energy or automotive fields.

  • Chemical engineering: fuel cells, gasification, reforming, and upgrading of fuels, and applied catalysis and reactor design enabling large energy benefits.

  • Electrical engineering: low carbon and/or efficient electricity production (by any means), electrical energy storage and distribution, electric machines, efficient utilization of electricity, and control systems targeting large energy benefits.

  • Mechanical engineering, including thermal/fluids: wind and wave energy, geothermal energy, solar thermal, and energy-efficient manufacturing, heating, and cooling.

A hire at the Assistant Professor rank is anticipated, although outstanding candidates at the Associate Professor level will be considered.

Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue until the position is filled with interview visits anticipated in the fall. A complete CV, research and teaching statements, and contact information for three references should be sent to:
