Alternative Energy Cluster, University of Utah. We expect to make several tenured/tenure-track appointments this year in the area of alternative energy. Both senior and junior level positions are available, with corresponding appointments in one or more science/engineering departments. Senior candidates should have successful, funded scholarly research programs, as well as an interest in team building and technology commercialization, and a commitment to excellent teaching. Junior candidates will be evaluated on their potential to develop along these lines.
Research areas of interest broadly relate to production, conversion, storage, and use of alternative energy, including topics such as catalysis for energy, photovoltaics, batteries and fuel cells.
These positions are part of the Utah Science, Technology and Research Initiative (USTAR), which was funded by the Utah State Legislature to attract focused teams of outstanding researchers who have the potential to help build major research programs, creating new technology that can ultimately lead to commercial products and/or new industries for Utah. Information about the USTAR initiative and past hires can be found at www.ustar.utah.edu. The University of Utah has substantial DOE, NSF, DOD and industry-funded energy research, thus there are many opportunities for collaborations with existing faculty. In addition, it is anticipated that the Alternative Energy Cluster will hire additional faculty in coming years.
The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City, the hub of a large metropolitan area with excellent cultural facilities and unsurpassed opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Senior Applicants should send an application letter with detailed vita. Junior applicants should, in addition, send a description of proposed research, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent directly to:

in PDF format. Review of applications will begin immediately, and continue until suitable candidates are identified.
The University of Utah values candidates who have experience working in settings with students from diverse backgrounds, and possess a strong commitment to improving access to higher education for historically underrepresented students. The University of Utah is an AA/EEO employer, strongly encourages applications from women and minorities, and provides reasonable accommodation to the known disabilities of applicants and employees.
