Job Description:
The Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science at Binghamton University invites applications for a tenured faculty position at the Full professor level with an expected start date of Fall 2025 or Spring 2026 in the area of energy storage. We are seeking a nationally recognized outstanding researcher to be part of a growing team of clean energy scientists, innovators and educators at Binghamton University. This position will carry the title of SUNY Empire Innovation Professor, and is supported in part by the State University of New York (SUNY)'s Empire Innovation Program (EIP), a key initiative to recruit and retain outstanding faculty with an established track record of research and scholarship in areas of strategic priority.
Applications are invited from exceptional researchers and engineers with an outstanding track record of funded research, scholarship, teaching and service in one or more areas of energy storage, including but not limited to:
The Watson College EIP professor in Energy Storage will augment existing capabilities and expertise in energy storage-related material, device, and system research at Binghamton University. The candidate hired for this position will strengthen and grow cross-institutional collaborations, and make significant contributions to Binghamton university's Road Map Initiative in Smart Energy Transdisciplinary Area of Excellence (https://www.binghamton.edu/transdisciplinary-areas-of-excellence/smart-energy/index.html). They will accelerate the translation of clean energy and storage technologies research to commercially viable solutions leveraging the Koffman Clean Energy Incubator (https://thekoffman.com/) and the New Energy New York (https://newenergynewyork.com/) Programs.
A premier public R1 research institution, Binghamton University currently generates over $64M in annual research expenditures and contributes over $1.2 billion annually to the regional economy. The recent $113 million research award from the Economic Development Agency (EDA) and the $160 million NSF Engine award to the New Energy New York initiative on battery technology innovation speaks to the university's leadership on knowledge transfer and partnerships across industrial and academia to advance technology development and innovation in science and engineering. The university is home to the 2019 Nobel Laureate Dr. Stanley Whittingham in the field of Chemistry and attracts outstanding students and award-winning faculty, many of whom are ranked in the top 2% of researchers in their respective fields.
The Thomas J Watson College of Engineering Binghamton University currently enrolls over 3,600 students across its five departments (Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Systems Science and Industrial Engineering) and two specialized programs (Materials Science and Engineering, Engineering Design Division). The engineering school maintains close collaborations with other colleges within the University, in particular the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences that houses the Physics and Chemistry Departments. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive teaching, research, and working environment, and seek applicants who share our commitment. In particular, underrepresented minorities, women, persons with disabilities and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.
Watson College stands committed to fostering a community that reflects our diverse society to ensure that its teaching, research, scholarship, and outreach programs include and serve a wide range of individuals.
Underpinning the technical, engineering, and computer science expertise of Watson College faculty, staff, students and alumni is an understanding that diverse and inclusive groups maximize potential, innovation, and impact. We, therefore, develop structures and opportunities that improve the experience of all students, especially those who are underrepresented in engineering and computer science. Watson faculty, staff, and students assist in cultivating a community of members that are conscious of barriers to social mobility, exhibit and act on empathy and compassion, and advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), both within the college and beyond.
Together, we learn, educate, innovate, and work toward a more just and inclusive future. We embrace and cultivate our diversity and thrive because of it.
