Outstanding and creative candidates with research interests focusing on the development of theoretical and computational approaches (e.g., machine learning) to address fundamental questions in chemistry, physics, biology, and material science are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will work effectively with faculty, staff, students, and researchers from diverse backgrounds. Primary selection criteria will focus on the potential for establishing an innovative, internationally-recognized, and externally-funded independent research program with accompanying excellence and innovation in teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

New faculty will join an active research environment fostering possible collaborations within the local Research Institutes, such as the Institute of Molecular Biology (molbio.uoregon.edu), the Material Science Institute (materialscience.uoregon.edu), and with the Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact (accelerate.uoregon.edu).
