Description

Florida State University seeks to hire two of six new faculty in Integrative NanoScience. Current focus of Integrative NanoScience at FSU is nanotechnology that blends “hard” (metals and semiconductors) and “soft” (organic and biological) materials: the science, engineering and art of tailoring and harnessing biomolecular function in nano-fabricated settings. Research is on fundamental nanoscale phenomena and processes that will be required for successful integration of hard and soft materials, and for putting such hybrid materials to practical use. New faculty will complement and extend a highly interactive group of scientists from materials science, molecular and cell biology, chemical and biomedical engineering, chemistry and biochemistry, and physics. Three additional tenure-track positions at all ranks will be filled over the next few years. Emphasis in hiring will be on faculty exploring: tailored design of biointerfaces; biocompatible nanofabrication; bio-recognition solid-state devices; or molecular transport in micro- and nano-scale devices. See http://www.insi.fsu.edu for further detail. Integrative Nanoscience is part of the FSU Pathways of Excellence Program, an initiative of accelerated growth in focused areas of interdisciplinary research.

Applicants should furnish, via email to the search committee chair, a curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests, representative publications, and the names and contact information for three references. Applications and inquiries should be addressed to:
