The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison seeks a new faculty member in applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning in polymeric materials through Job Requisition 10004050. This position is part of the RISE-AI component of the Wisconsin Research, Innovation, and Scholarly Excellence (RISE) initiative. The successful candidate will lead an innovative research program in AI/ML in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of polymer materials.
Areas of interest in polymer research include but are not limited to AI/ML for predicting polymer properties and de novo polymer design, AI-guided design of polymers, AI-based soft-materials design, AI/ML enabled synthesis, and AI-enabled high-throughput characterization. Opportunities include, but are not limited to, polymeric materials relevant to the department’s pillar areas of sustainability, materials for extreme environments, autonomous materials research and additive manufacturing, energy production, conversion, and storage, and information and quantum technologies. UW-Madison hosts outstanding research capabilities, including dedicated facilities for soft materials characterization, central computational resources, and instrumentation for microscopy, and optical and electron spectroscopy.
The successful candidate will teach undergraduates and graduate students, develop and direct a strong, funded research program, participate in departmental and university faculty governance, and engage in professional and public service.
Three reference letters must be submitted directly by referees to facultysearch@mse.wisc.edu.
