Faculty Positions in Composite Materials and Structures
Moscow, Russia
The new Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) in Moscow seeks candidates in science and technology for tenured and tenure-track positions to begin mid-2015 or thereafter.
Established in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Skoltech integrates strong foundational graduate educational programs and cutting-edge basic and applied research with an ecology of innovation and entrepreneurship to establish a new model for advancing knowledge, developing technology, and creating economic value to improve the Russian Federation and our world. The innovative concept includes organization of approximately 15 research centers, rather than departments, covering five science and technology themes, and cross-cutting areas.
The Skoltech Center for Advanced Structures, Processes, and Engineered Materials embraces a holistic approach to product development via integrated materials, design and manufacturing of advanced composites made of polymeric, metallic, and ceramic constituents of various forms. The Composites CREI is designed to operate over a wide range of technical expertise and specialist knowledge based on seven Research Laboratories spanning various scale levels from atomic and crystalline to micro and macro, all the way to large-scale science-based manufacturing of composite parts and assemblies. The initial research units are: Engineered Material Systems, Mechanics of Materials, Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation, Structural Analysis and Design, Virtual Simulation of Processes and Structures, Multifunctional Materials and Structures, and Automated Manufacturing and Technology Transfer. The Center is generously funded to collaborate closely with two US and two European Universities, as well as two Russian Institutes. Our ambition is to establish Skoltech as a world-class center of Materials and Structures research.
We encourage applications for positions in all seven research labs listed above in all faculty ranks. Applications in Skoltech priority areas listed above are of particular interest, but strong candidates in all areas of science and technology related to major themes are encouraged to apply.
Faculty will lead the development of a new curriculum and innovative research structure, with the opportunity to spend a portion of their first year at MIT to develop classroom materials and launch new research collaborations. Teaching and research will be carried out in the English language. Internationally competitive salary and benefits, startup packages, and opportunities for substantial research funding will be provided.
Please visit http://faculty.skoltech.ru/Positions for more information, directions on how to apply, as well as full descriptions for our other priority research areas.
Complete applications may be reviewed as they are submitted but must be received by December 15, 2014 for consideration in this round of recruiting.
Skoltech is committed to diversity and equality, and all are invited to apply without regard for gender, race, or national origin.
