Faculty Positions in Photovoltaics
One Endowed Chair and Several Junior Positions
The University of
Toledo (UT) invites applications for several tenured/tenure-track faculty
positions in the broad area of photovoltaics (PV). One position, the Ohio
Research Scholar Endowed (ORSP) Chair in PV, may be connected to one or more
Junior Positions if appropriate. Positions are currently available in the
Department of Physics and Astronomy and in the Department of Chemistry, and
anticipated in the College of Engineering. New faculty will participate in
Ohio’s Wright Center for Photovoltaics Innovation and Commercialization.
Joint appointments are likely across departments/colleges and in UT’s School of
Solar and Advanced Renewal Energy. Candidates are sought with exceptional
experience and qualifications in any area(s) of PV. Successful candidates
will desire to collaborate broadly with university colleagues and industrial
partners and plan to establish world-class programs to advance PV science and
technology. Excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level is
expected, and candidates should plan to involve graduate and undergraduate
students in their research program.
The ORSP Chair and the Junior Positions are supported with significant start-up
packages by the Ohio Department of Development and UT. These positions are
part of an ongoing effort to maintain and grow PV excellence and leadership in
Ohio, the Midwest, and the United States. A Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry,
Materials Science, Electrical Engineering or closely related field is required.
Research experience beyond the Ph.D. is expected. A strong track record of
external funding is required for the senior position. Candidates for
the junior positions must demonstrate considerable potential for attracting
external funding, while an existing track record is a plus. Women and
minority candidates are encouraged to apply.
Complete applications, which should be submitted as a single pdf document, can
be sent via email to ‘pvic_hiring@utoledo.edu’. The application should
include; (i) a cover letter stating the position(s) of interest, (ii) a
curriculum vitae, (iii) a research plan (3 pages max), and (iv) a teaching
statement (1 page). Applicants interested in the junior positions should
arrange for at least three letters of reference to be sent to
‘pvic_hiring@utoledo.edu’,
while those interested in the ORSP Chair need only submit the names and contact
information for at least three references. Review of applications will
begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled, but candidates
are strongly encouraged to submit applications by January 15, 2011.
