ChemBE Assistant Professor

Faculty position in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

Johns Hopkins, founded in 1876, is America's first research university and home to nine world-class academic divisions working together as one university.

Salary : $150,000 - $200,000

Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering seeks applicants a tenure-track/tenured faculty positions. While all candidates will be considered, preference will be given to candidates with research and teaching interests in Soft Matter or Systems/Data Science/Artificial Intelligence relevant to chemical and biomolecular engineering will be considered.

Candidates in these areas will contribute to the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Johns Hopkins University community and mission to educate tomorrow’s leaders in ChemBE and pioneer technological advancements to address critical global challenges in energy, materials design, and precision medicine, tobuild a stronger, cleaner, and healthier future.

Candidates in Soft Matter will perform original research at the intersection of a broad class of materials systems spanning colloids, polymers, surfactants, and granular species in synthetic and/or biological materials. Possible efforts can include, but arenot limited to, experimental, computational, theoretical,machine-learning, and/or data science tools in applications involving energy, environmental, and biomedical technologies.

Candidates in the Systems/Data Science/Artificial Intelligence areawill perform original research at the interface between chemical engineering modeling/scientific computation and modern Data Science and Machine Learning. Possible efforts include but are not limitedto modern design and optimization (e.g. in the role of AI in the transition from automated to autonomous process operations).Creative uses of DSAI in materials/chemicals/process discovery, ortowards novel computational approaches to atomistic simulations orbiological systems modeling are of direct interest.

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is highly collaborative with an established track record of national leadership and developing new disciplines within chemical andbiomolecular engineering. The Department has large, vibranteducational programs at the undergraduate, master’s, and Ph.D.levels as well as post-doctoral level.

This past year, Johns Hopkins announced a major new investment indata science and the exploration of artificial intelligence thatwill be included in a new data science and translation institute, anew state-of-the-art facility and recruitment of 110 new facultyover the next five years. The institute will bring together world-class experts in artificial intelligence, machine learning,applied mathematics, computer engineering, and computer science tofuel data-driven discovery in support of research activities acrossthe institution including within the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering department.

In addition to its role in this initiative, the department is aleader in other major research centers and institutes at Johns Hopkins, including the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute(ROSEI), the Institute for Nanobiotechnology (INBT), the Advanced Mammalian Biomanufacturing Innovation Center (AMBIC), International Biomanufacturing Network (IBIoNe) MINDS (Mathematical Institute forDataScience), the Maryland Area Research Computing Center (MARCC),the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI).

Faculty also collaborate frequently with scholars in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Applied Physics Laboratory, Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in chemical and biomolecularengineering or a related field, a track record…
