Endowed
Chair in Experimental Sensor Physics
Wright
State University,
in partnership with a consortium of Ohio
universities, has received a $4.1 million dollar award from the State
of Ohio’s
Third Frontier
Program to establish a Research Cluster in Layered Sensing. This
cluster will
perform research and development in sensor science and technology and
invest
aggressively in senior and junior research talent, capital facilities,
and
equipment. As a part of this program, Wright State
University is
recruiting a
distinguished senior experimentalist for the WSU Ohio Research Scholar
endowed
chair in the area of terahertz sensing.
The position filled will be at the associate professor level, or
higher
as dictated by experience and qualifications. The successful candidate
will
have substantial resources available including a significant level of
start-up
funds and will interact with our physics and engineering faculty
involved in sensing,
imaging, and spectroscopy. This includes collaborating with the
existing terahertz
research groups at WSU. This will involve participating in the search
for an
additional Assistant Professor position for the research cluster. This endowed chair position is part of the
Ohio Research Scholar Program’s goal of recruiting research talent to
the state
of Ohio and, under the terms of this
State of Ohio Grant, all candidates
must be recruited from outside
Ohio. Further information about this position is
available on the website www.wright.edu/terahertz.
Candidates must have
a Ph.D. degree
or the equivalent in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related
field, must
have a distinguished research record commensurate with the level of
Associate
Professor or Professor, and the potential for excellence in teaching.
The focus
of this position will be establishing an exceptional research effort in
a
collaborative environment while maintaining an interaction with
industry and
the community. In accord with this emphasis are reduced teaching
responsibilities. The position will be affiliated with the Department
of
Physics and the Department of Electrical Engineering with the
possibility of
joint appointments.
Review of applications will begin on
January 15,
2009 and will continue until the position is filled. Candidates should
submit a
letter of application, curriculum vitae, brief statements of research
plans and
teaching philosophy and include contact information for at least three
references. Questions about this position should be directed to
Associate Professor
Doug Petkie, Department of Physics, Wright State
University
