Position announcement: RISE-EARTH

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison seeks new faculty members at any level in the area of polymeric materials. Areas of interest include but are not limited to batteries, CO2 capture and separation, and polymer membranes water purification and desalination. Research complementing existing efforts across the College of Engineering in polymer synthesis, polymer upcycling and recycling, biopolymers, the materials science of soft materials, and advanced manufacturing is of particular interest. This role is a part of the RISE-Environment: Adaptation, Resilience, Technology, and Humanity (EARTH) initiative, which aims to strengthen the university’s ability to address challenges and opportunities related to the environment, translating discoveries into tangible benefits in Wisconsin and beyond.

Position Vacancy Listing (PVL) #305352 focuses on polymeric materials for applications.
