Specific areas of research and discipline are open. Areas of interest may include biological approaches to nanoscience, polymer science related to the synthesis and characterization of ultrasmall elements for various applications such as optics, electronics, biomedical and other related areas, the characterization and manipulation of materials in the nanoscale domain, and research aimed at combining functionalized organic systems with inorganic materials in novel ways. Minimum requirements include a Ph.D., but postdoctoral experience is preferred. Rank is open although preference will be given to hiring at the junior level. The University of Massachusetts Lowell is equipped with state of the art facilities for polymer synthesis and characterization, surface analysis, optical spectroscopy and probe microscopies.
Positions are contingent upon funding.
