Successful Candidate

The Department of Engineering Physics is seeking an outstanding woman for a tenure-track position in Engineering Physics. The position is at the rank of Assistant Professor and located on the main university campus. Consideration for a position at the rank of Associate or Full Professor will be given, based on commensurate experience. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to readily access world-class research facilities including the Centre for Emerging Device Technologies, the Brockhouse Institute for Materials Research, the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy, the Centre for Advanced Light Microscopy, and/or the McMaster Biointerfaces Institute. The successful candidate is expected to develop research collaborations within and external to the University. Possible research topics may include but are not limited to areas within engineering that develop, utilize, exploit, or explore advanced device technologies in optoelectronics, photonics, electronics, micromechanics and/or microfluidics; for example, using nanoscale elements such as FETs, NEMS/MEMS, micro-ring resonators, photonic crystals, plasmonics, Josephson junctions, metamaterials or epitaxial semiconductor materials within micro-, or nano-scale devices and systems. The research topic should have strong linkages to technological applications, for example to communications, energy systems, space systems, computing (including quantum computing), biomedicine, or imaging/sensing (e.g., bioimaging & biosensing).

The successful applicant will teach both undergraduate- and graduate-level courses. Therefore, a demonstrated or strong potential for excellence in teaching and curriculum development in Engineering Physics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels is essential. Consistent with McMaster’s position as a research-intensive university, the successful applicant will be expected to develop a dynamic externally funded research program, supervise graduate students, and foster existing or new collaborations with other Departments and Faculties. Research excellence will be reflected in successful mentoring of graduate students, extramural grant acquisition and publication in high quality peer- reviewed journals. Relevant industrial experience, the ability to interact with other research groups (on- and off-campus), and interest in creating and maintaining ties with major industrial players within the broader community, will be essential. Applicants must demonstrate a willingness and ability to contribute to the Department’s collegial and collaborative intellectual community as well as University-wide inclusive excellence goals and priorities.

Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in Engineering Physics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely related discipline, and have expertise in applied research in a related field of application. Successful candidates will be outstanding emerging scholars with a demonstrated potential to achieve a significant international reputation in the next five to ten years.

Applicants should also possess outstanding leadership and communication skills, a commitment to excellence in service, and ability to work effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds. All candidates will be expected to participate in the normal administrative, educational, and professional activities of the Department, Faculty and University. Applicants are expected to have a license for the practice of engineering in Canada or the ability and eligibility to apply for an engineering license with the Professional Engineers of Ontario within 3 years.
