Research Professor

Position Summary

The

Center for Micro-Engineering Materials (CMEM) at the University of New Mexico

(UNM) is seeking applicants for a Research Professor faculty position,

highly motivated and skilled researchers in development and characterization of

next-generation electrochemical energy conversion materials. The successful

candidate will focus on the synthesis, processing, and advanced

characterization of catalyst materials for fuel cells and water electrolysis

systems. This includes electrocatalysts, ionomers, membrane-electrode

assemblies (MEAs), and related nanostructured materials. The successful

applicants will be hired at the research professor rank

depending on experience and demonstrated qualifications.

The University of New Mexico is the only Carnegie-classified R1 (very high research activity) university in the state and is a federally-designated Hispanic Serving Institution. Our faculty benefit and actively collaborate with federally-funded and research centers, a nationally ranked , and nearby national laboratories (, , and ). The UNM provides an entrepreneurial ecosystem, which includes and the , that translates research to market.
