The Chemical Engineering Faculty Jobs List: 6 positions

The Chemical Engineering Faculty Jobs List has 6 positions. It is curated by Lilian Josephson (@lljosephson), who says:
The new cycle has begun for the chem e's! This year we will try to utilize the list further by circulating among the professors, as well as using the hashtags #facultychemEjobs and #MeettheCandidatesChE2020.
 This post will serve as the open thread for this year's search.

  1. Thank you, CJ and Lilian, for maintaining this list; you are saints. A quick accessibility comment -- the fact that you've frozen so many rows of cells makes it nearly impossible to read this spreadsheet on smaller screens. Maybe consider unfreezing the cells? Thanks!

  4. I have applied to 20+ ChemE jobs and have yet to hear anything. Hoping for some good news before Christmas, otherwise... 2020 the great destroyer of naive dreams.

    1. Not yet! I recall someone from the Chem thread saying they were scheduling way back in October, but my guess is that was a one-off and not reflective of their entire search. Chair of the GATech ChE search is Ryan Lively, you could always inquire.

    1. Did they send that as a response of your inquiry or on their own?

      Delete
    2. Did they ask for Rec Letters?

      Delete
    3. They sent it on their own, and I didn't hear anything about letters requested, so I assume they did not.

      Delete
    4. I'm 4:35, just received rejection letter (way nicer than others, btw). Looks like they are going through batches of candidates, or trimming down the pool, and sending out letters at every stage.

  21. I know it's a strange year and it is difficult to know anything, but do you think that we are in one of those silent periods, or for this cycle we can reasonably say that it's done?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Also wondering this. The only places I've heard of people interviewing at (in any capacity) in chem eng so far is MIT, University of Washington, JHU, and Georgia Tech. Not sure if this is because my colleagues aren't traditional engineers and thus aren't competitive, or if it's because the engineering cycle is very delayed this year.

  22. I am curious about University of Washington candidate. Any insight on their field? I can't see their seminars posted...

    ReplyDelete

    1. My colleague told me their seminars aren't being publicly posted. Not sure of field, but the hiring ad states its a cluster hire in big-data analysis and high-throughput imaging.

    1. Was curious about penn state as well. Applied in October, had a request for letters right before Christmas, but nothing since then. My field is catalysis and I had some traction elsewhere so thought I might hear something from psu since theyre starting a catalysis center. their posted seminar schedule doesn't include any faculty candidates. would appreciate if anyone knows the status of their search.

    2. They are interviewing already.

  33. Asking again. has anyone heard from UCLA in any capacity?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Have not heard anything. I have applied to three openings at UCLA (related to bioengineering). 2 of those openings didn't ask for LORs at submission. And my writers haven't mention receiving any letter requests... anybody else have letters requested?

      Delete
    2. It's strange that no one has heard. I applied to 3 openings too and didn't hear anything. Same with experience with a few other people I know. I wonder if they cancelled their searches, or if their candidates don't frequent this site.

      Delete
    3. Just FYI, I googled the name of a person who was on another department faculty search seminar schedule and this person's name also showed up for UCLA chemE seminar. It appears UCLA's seminar schedule is not listed in their events tab, but if you google a specific event it somehow shows up. So looks like they have already interviewed.

  34. Anything on Texas Tech?

    1. I remember from AICHE that Texas Tech is recruiting tenured professor, not tenure track

    2. 7:38 PM, I chatted to Gerri (Texas Tech department head) at the Texas Tech reception at AIChE and she said Texas Tech had two postings. One for a tenured professor and another for a tenure track professor.
