About The Position

Northeastern University invites applications for a tenured/tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor level in the broad area of advanced manufacturing for future semiconductor materials and energy storage systems, aligned with CHIPS-Act priorities in semiconductors, battery and energy-storage research under critical infrastructure. Appointments will be primarily or fully in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) within Northeastern University’s College of Engineering, with opportunities for joint cross-college appointments with the College of Science. The position will be based primarily on Northeastern University’s Boston campus, providing an exceptional environment for interdisciplinary research, education, and collaboration across engineering, science, industry, and government. We are seeking outstanding faculty candidates with research interests and expertise in any of a set of broadly defined areas relevant to advanced manufacturing for future semiconductor materials and energy storage systems, which include but are not limited to: Advanced semiconductor materials processing, Nanoscale and scalable manufacturing of semiconductor or energy materials, Thermal interface materials for advanced packaging, Heterogeneous integration of semiconductors, Scalable synthesis of battery active materials, Emerging solid-state battery materials, Energy harvesting and conversion materials, Polymers for electronic and energy system applications, AI-driven discovery and manufacturing of energy storage materials, Dry‑processing, solvent‑free electrode manufacturing, In‑situ / operando manufacturing metrology, process‑monitoring, and quality control. Our tenure and promotion process values collaborative research and teamwork. Hires will be mentored for success, with mentoring teams and group guidance. In addition, a strong and effective faculty development strategy is part of the Northeastern institutional mission. The ADVANCE Office of Faculty Development office works in conjunction with the Office of Research Development (ORD), the Office of Belonging, the Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning Through Research (CATLR), and University Decision Support (UDS) to provide programs and trainings to further develop and support a thriving faculty.
