About this position

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) is excited to announce a faculty position at the Associate Professor level (tenured or tenure-track) on with an anticipated start date of July 1 , 2027 . This position in Energy and Electrochemistry (James M. Galm Professorship II) will be part of a ‘cluster’ of three hires to strengthen CWRU’s unique position and legacy in electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering. We seek outstanding candidates who will establish nationally and internationally recognized research programs addressing challenges in fundamental and applied electrochemistry, alongside teaching, mentorship and service. Research areas of interest include, but are not limited to: interfacial electrochemistry; electrochemical materials, devices and systems; energy conversion and storage; electrocatalysis; electrochemical innovations in critical materials processing; electrosynthesis; and bio- or neuro-electrochemistry. Integration of AI, automation, and big data-driven approaches in electrochemical discovery are welcome. Candidates whose research bridges chemistry with chemical engineering, materials science, and environmental/mechanical/biomedical applications are encouraged to apply. This position is part of an ambitious faculty hiring plan this year within the Case School of Engineering and is in support of the President’s and Provost’s Faculty 100 Initiative to hire at least 100 new tenure and tenure-track faculty at Case Western Reserve University ( https://case.edu/provost/initiatives/facultny-100 ) by 2028 in areas that address global challenges.
