Chemistry Department, Assistant Professor of Physical
Chemistry

Location: Philadelphia, PA
Open Date: Sep 04, 2024
Deadline:

Position description:

The Department of
Chemistry at the University of
Pennsylvania (Penn) invites applications for a
tenure-track position in the broadly defined area of physical
chemistry. Fundamental research topics that are relevant to energy,
environment, and/or sustainability are particularly
encouraged.

Penn Chemistry, a department in the School of Arts & Sciences
(SAS), is collaborative and interactive. The traditional
sub-fields of physical, biological, inorganic, and organic
chemistry serve as a framework from which collaborative,
experimental and theoretical research emerge. Interdisciplinary
research and collaboration are supported across the campus, as
chemistry faculty actively collaborate with others in SAS as well
with researchers in the School of Engineering and Applied Science
(SEAS) and the Perelman School of Medicine, all part of our
contiguous green urban
campus in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Physical chemistry
research at Penn greatly benefits from a dynamic energy research
environment, led by the Vagelos Institute for
Energy Sciences and Technology, a collaboration between SAS and
SEAS, as well as through close interactions with our
energy-relevant dual-degree program, the Vagelos Integrated Program
in Energy Research (VIPER) and with our NSF-funded
Materials Research Science and Engineering Center, the Laboratory for Research on the
Structure of Matter. We promote and encourage curiosity,
intellectual engagement, and discovery among all our students and
faculty.

We seek candidates who share our strong commitment to research,
teaching, and mentoring, and to a scholarly community shaped by
values of inclusive excellence. SAS is committed to cultivating and
sustaining a community of students, scholars, researchers, and
staff that reflects the diversity of our world. We nurture working
and learning environments that are affirming, equitable, and
inclusive. Please see our School’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Initiatives to learn more about our active priorities:
