UNT also has developed a strong research effort in computational materials across multiple size and time scales. The new faculty members will also lead new research endeavors and work closely with UNT faculty with both experimental and computational research programs to forge national/international collaborative research proposals. Additional information on the MTSE department can be found at www.mtse.unt.edu.
The positions require an earned doctorate in Materials Science and Engineering, or a related field. Applicants should have demonstrated a strong commitment to teaching and research, and must exhibit potential to develop and sustain a cutting‐edge research program with funding from sources external to the university.
