Job Details

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of Queens College of the City University of New York (CUNY) invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position in computational materials chemistry at the rank of Assistant Professor to start Fall 2020. We seek candidates with a research focus on inorganic or bio-inorganic materials as well as nanomaterials, and who have expertise in any of large scale computational modeling, ab-initio calculations, or machine learning approaches for materials research and design. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an externally-funded research program while at the same time contributing to the Department’s mission of excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and masters level, as well as teaching in the appropriate Ph.D. programs at the Graduate Center of CUNY. Teaching responsibilities at Queens College will include classes in inorganic chemistry.

Queens College offers a rigorous education in the liberal arts and sciences under the guidance of a faculty dedicated to both teaching and research. The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers American Chemical Society-certified undergraduate majors in Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Chemistry Education. At the graduate level the department offers an MA program in Chemistry and participates in the CUNY Graduate Center Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Physics Ph.D. programs. The Department currently has 13 faculty members, almost all of whom have active research programs involving postdoctorals, Ph.D. students, and masters and undergraduate students. In recent years many faculty members have been awarded NSF and NIH grants. Research labs are located in new and renovated space in two adjacent buildings.

Departmental equipment includes two NMR spectrometers (400 and 500 MHz), a single-crystal X-ray diffractometer, and a variety of other shared equipment and computer clusters. A competitive start-up package providing support for equipment, supplies, and personnel will be provided. More information about the department may be found at http://chem.qc.cuny.edu
