Role details
Position Description.
The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Vanderbilt University invites applications for a faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor (tenure-track) or Associate Professor (tenured). We seek outstanding candidates whose research advances the frontiers of chemical and biomolecular engineering, particularly in engineering biology and biomanufacturing; computational and AI-enabled chemical and biomolecular engineering; and process systems engineering for advanced manufacturing and resource recovery.
We especially welcome research that addresses space exploration and national defense challenges in austere environments—where water, oxygen, energy, materials, and infrastructure are scarce or difficult to access—while leveraging Vanderbilt's growing strengths in computing, engineering, medicine, sustainability, and national security.
