McMaster University’s Faculty of Engineering invites applications from female-identifying candidates for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Physics, located on the main university campus to begin on or before July 1, 2024. Candidates with a superior track record of scholarly contributions, demonstrated leadership in research and innovation, and a strong international reputation may be considered at the rank of Associate or Full Professor.
The Department of Engineering Physics incorporates a unique blend of research topics in applied and engineering physics, with research clusters in optics/photonics, nano/micro devices, biophotonics/biosensing, and nuclear engineering. The Department hosts one of the largest accredited undergraduate Engineering Physics programs in Canada, along with graduate programs at the Master’s and PhD levels. The Department and its faculty members also actively participate in the Faculty-wide 5-year undergraduate integrated biomedical engineering programs and the graduate-level School of Biomedical Engineering.
The Department of Engineering Physics is seeking an outstanding woman for a tenure-track position in Engineering Physics. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to readily access world-class research facilities including the Centre for Emerging Device Technologies, the Brockhouse Institute for Materials Research, the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy, the Centre for Advanced Light Microscopy, and/or the McMaster Biointerfaces Institute. The successful candidate is expected to develop research collaborations within and external to the University. Possible research topics may include but are not limited to areas within engineering that develop, utilize, exploit, or explore advanced device technologies in optoelectronics, photonics, electronics, micromechanics and/or microfluidics; for example, using nanoscale elements such as FETs, NEMS/MEMS, micro-ring resonators, photonic crystals, plasmonics, Josephson junctions, metamaterials or epitaxial semiconductor materials within micro-, or nano-scale devices and systems. The research topic should have strong linkages to technological applications, for example to communications, energy systems, space systems, computing (including quantum computing), biomedicine, or imaging/sensing (e.g., bioimaging & biosensing).
Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in Engineering Physics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely related discipline, and have expertise in applied research in a related field of application. Successful candidates will be outstanding emerging scholars with a demonstrated potential to achieve a significant international reputation in the next five to ten years. Applicants are expected to have a license for the practice of engineering in Canada or the ability and eligibility to apply for an engineering license with the Professional Engineers of Ontario within 3 years
