position of Assistant Professor to help build our new Chemical
Engineering B.S. degree program, with an anticipated start date of
July 1, 2025. Applications will be initially reviewed on December

semiconductor processing. Individuals in the position are expected
to provide outstanding research, teaching, and service related to
the mission of the School of Engineering and UC Merced.
This appointment confers membership in the Academic Senate.

Merced's diverse student body; (2) have demonstrated management or
organizational skills and will be comfortable advising students on
industrial career paths, entrepreneurship, and graduate study
opportunities; (3) have significant teaching experience,
particularly using student success centered approaches focused on
inclusive engineering education; and (4) be interested in pushing
design thinking and experience forward with a teaching approach
that is suited to recent needs.
