Role details

The School of Engineering at Tufts University invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions as part of the Tufts Epsilon Materials Institute (TEMI). Outstanding candidates at the Associate Professor rank will also be considered. TEMI is a recently-established collaborative partnership between Tufts University and Epsilon Group, an industrial leader in advanced carbon materials for batteries and other applications. TEMI seeks to address global challenges in energy and sustainability through breakthrough materials research.

Applicants with expertise in computation, synthesis, characterization, and manufacturing of advanced materials for energy applications are highly encouraged to apply. Areas of particular interest include but are not limited to the use of artificial intelligence across material lifecycle, including novel materials discovery, AI-integrated self-driving laboratories, and AI-driven manufacturing and scaling of material processing. Materials of interest include energy storage materials, superconducting and magnetic materials, catalytic materials, and optical materials.

Successful candidates will be appointed in the School of Engineering’s department that best matches their background and will hold core affiliation with TEMI. Tufts distinguishes itself by the interdisciplinary focus and integrative nature of its education and research programs, within the environment of both a "Research 1" university and a top-ranked undergraduate institution. We offer the best of a liberal arts college atmosphere, coupled with the resources of a major research university. Home to nine graduate and professional schools across four campuses, Tufts University prides itself on its culture of cross-school partnerships.

Tufts' Medford/Somerville campus is located only six miles from historic downtown Boston, facilitating extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaborations, as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the region. Tufts University, founded in 1852, prioritizes quality teaching, highly competitive basic and applied research, and a commitment to active citizenship locally, regionally, and globally.
