Open Rank Faculty Position in Chemical Engineering

Columbia Engineering invites applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in the Department of Chemical Engineering, starting July 1, 2025. Appointments at all ranks will be considered.

Applications are specifically sought in the areas of Biotechnology and Biopharmaceutical development. Research emphasizing the design and development of therapeutics, from small molecules to biologicals to cell-based therapies, as well as the biomanufacturing of therapeutics, including cellular engineering, bioprocess design, automated processing, and bioseparations are encouraged. We also encourage research emphasizing the development of biocompatible materials for therapeutic delivery and regenerative medicine, and computational and AI approaches in biomolecular and bioprocess engineering. We wish to highlight that there is a new Columbia Initiative in Cell Engineering and Therapy (CICET) at the Columba University Irving Medical Center, and intersections with the Medical School are of particular interest.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. or its professional equivalent by the starting date of the appointment in Chemical Engineering or a related field. Applicants for this position at the Assistant Professor and Associate Professor without tenure levels must have the potential to do pioneering research and to teach effectively. Applicants for this position at the tenured level (Associate or Full Professor) must have a demonstrated record of outstanding research accomplishments, excellent teaching credentials, and established leadership in the field.

The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the advancement of the school/department in these areas by developing or sustaining an externally funded research program, contributing to the undergraduate and graduate educational mission of the department(s), and establishing multidisciplinary research and educational collaborations with academic departments and units across Columbia University. The school is especially interested in qualified candidates who will contribute, through their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community.
