Job Description
Research Assistant Professor
POSITION OVERVIEW AND JUSTIFICATION
The Centers for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) and the
Computational Center for Fundamental and Applied Science and Education (CCFASE) unite
investigators from five departments in the College of Science and Technology (CST) at North
Carolina Central University, leveraging established strengths in computational research and
education across the departmental disciplines. Our goal is to use computational science as a
focus for developing strong interdisciplinary, integrative research activities and research-based
educational training that enhances the existing undergraduate and graduate programs at
NCCU, and to establish an infrastructure and level of student participation suitable to justify,
both in student quality and quantity, the future establishment of Ph.D. programs, thus expanding
the University’s ability to increase minority representation in the sciences.
The Research Assistant Professor will perform experimental and computational nanotechnology
research needed for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Center of Research Excellence,
Computational Center for Fundamental and Applied Research and Education and NASA
University Research Center, Center for Aerospace Device and Education. This is a long term
project, which started in 2005 and has been continuing since that time. The research project is
the central research project at NASA and NSF research centers.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Research Assistant Professor will:
1)
2)
3)
4)
perform experimental and computational research in nanotechnology;
develop computer programs for calculation of nanostructures properties;
perform experiments on metallic nanoparticles structure;
study different metallic nanoparticle systems relevant for development of monochromatic
optical filters and for improvement of photovoltaic cells;
5) collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of faculty, research staff, and graduate students
on ongoing research and in developing new research initiatives;
6) collaboration on ongoing research projects;
7) collaboration on development of research concepts for submission sponsors; and
supervise graduate students’ master thesis research.
QUALIFICATIONS
Experience in fabrication of nanostrucutres, electron beam lithography, photo lithography, and
spectroscopy; dedicated commitment to research; excellent interpersonal/oral/written
communication skills; and project management experience.
REQUIRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
Ph. D. in physics with at least 5 years postdoctoral experience in nanotechnology related
research; experience in fabrication of nanostrucutres, electron beam lithography, photo
lithography, and spectroscopy.
