About NC State
At NC State, we create prosperity for North Carolina and the nation. We began as a land-grant institution grounded in agriculture and engineering. Today, we’re a pre-eminent research enterprise that excels across disciplines.
NC State is a powerhouse in science, technology, engineering and math. We lead in agriculture, education, textiles, business and natural resources management. We’re at the forefront of teaching and research in design, the humanities and the social sciences. And we’re home to one of the world’s best colleges of veterinary medicine.
Our more than 37,000 undergraduate and graduate students learn by doing. They pursue original research and start new companies. They forge connections with top employers and serve communities local and global. Through it all, they enjoy an outstanding return on investment.
Whether it’s Princeton Review ranking NC State among the nation’s best values for universities, Money magazine naming it the No. 1 best college for your money in North Carolina, or U.S. News & World Report ranking NC State among the top 10 best values in public higher education, the university has many reasons to be proud.
Each year, NC State adds $6.5 billion to the statewide economy, equivalent to creating more than 90,000 new jobs. That represents a significant return on investment for the citizens of North Carolina in the form of research advances, innovative technologies, successful companies, skilled graduates and new jobs waiting for them.
Our 9,400 faculty and staff are world leaders in their fields, bridging the divides between academic disciplines and training high-caliber students to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Together, they forge powerful partnerships with government, industry, nonprofits and academia to remake our world for the better. We expect everyone to give of their talents, skills, time and effort to make NC State an environment of excellence for all.
Essential Job Duties
As part of the Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program, NC State University welcomes two faculty at any rank to expand the interdisciplinary cluster on Carbon Electronics. The Carbon Electronics Cluster seeks to transform energy and quantum science applications using emerging molecular, organic and hybrid materials and their devices. The Cluster is committed to achieving this aim through interdisciplinary integration of research, education, engagement, and entrepreneurship.
About the Cluster
The carbon electronics cluster aims to innovate new energy and quantum science solutions. Our team leverages the unique quantum physical/chemical properties, scalability, sustainability and low-cost solution-processability of organic, polymeric, nanocolloidal, and hybrid materials in a wide range of energy, optoelectronic, photonic and quantum applications. This demands horizontal integration across multiple disciplines and vertical integration between basic and applied research. Commercial applications such as organic light emitting diode displays use organic electronic materials and developmental applications such as organic solar cells have made enormous progress in new materials creation, processing, and device engineering. The Carbon cluster at NC State is recognized for discovering and harnessing new quantum phenomena, developing advanced characterization methods for organic and hybrid materials, as well as advancing the fundamental understanding of stability and degradation of organic materials towards enabling commercial applications. Our team conducts this interdisciplinary research by sharing expertise and research infrastructure in strategic areas of advanced materials processing, optoelectronic device fabrication, and advanced materials characterization. We are also harnessing innovations in artificial intelligence and robotics and building smart labs to solve complex problems in organic and hybrid materials and device research. The cluster’s vertically integrated research approach is designed to bring organic and hybrid materials applications from the laboratory to fabrication by leveraging comprehensive shared resources, and pilot scale instrumentation. The cluster currently includes 11 faculty across 5 different departments and seeks to increase its interdisciplinary breadth. It builds on additional NC State investment in traditional condensed matter and materials science, molecular sciences (Integrative Sciences Initiative), and plant sciences (the Plant Sciences Initiative).
About the Position
Candidates with experimental or theoretical research interests and expertise in broad areas related to organic, polymer, nanocolloidal, and hybrid materials and devices will be considered.
