The Institute for Molecular Engineering (IME) is a unique interdisciplinary institute launched by the University of Chicago in 2011 with the aim of translating molecular-level science into technological solutions with potential societal impact in health care, energy, environmental sustainability and information technology. An independent unit within the university, IME is also affiliated with Argonne National Laboratory, and joint appointment is encouraged when appropriate.
IME invites applications for one or more faculty positions. Please see our website (https://ime.uchicago.edu/) for a description of some of the research themes highlighted in IME. We will consider applicants doing research appropriate for any of the themes, and indeed in any area of molecular engineering.
