About the Opportunity Critical Infrastructure & Cyber-AI Security This theme focuses on protecting and strengthening the physical and digital systems that underpin modern society. This theme spans hardware and critical infrastructure resilience, leveraging AI, digital twins, and sensing to build secure and adaptive infrastructure; cyber-AI security, and safety, which addresses securing embodied AI/robotics, critical
infrastructure systems, critical industrial control systems, security infrastructures and cryptographic techniques for AI systems; and advanced manufacturing for future semiconductor and energy materials, aligned with CHIPS-Act priorities. Anchored in Boston, the theme builds on cross-college collaboration among COE (College of Engineering), Khoury College of Computer Sciences, Mills (Mills College at Northeastern),
CSSH (College of Social Sciences and Humanities), CAMD (College of Arts, Media and Design), COS (College of Science), and Law (School of Law), together with Northeastern's interdisciplinary ecosystem. It builds on the Kostas Research Institute (KRI), CHEST (Center for Hardware and Embedded Systems Security and Trust), SENTRY (Soft Target Engineering to Neutralize the Threat Reality), DIBI (Defense Industrial Base
Institute), and the Center for Advanced Materials for Resiliency (CAMR), connecting cryptography, AI, physical infrastructure resilience, cyber-AI security, and advanced manufacturing to safeguard the systems the nation depends on against natural disasters and both conventional and emerging (including quantum-era) threats. About the opportunity: Advanced manufacturing for future semiconductor materials and energy
storage systems Northeastern University invites applications for a tenured/tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor level in the broad area of advanced manufacturing for future semiconductor materials and energy storage systems, aligned with CHIPS-Act priorities in semiconductors, battery and energy-storage research under critical infrastructure. Appointments will be primarily or
fully in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) within Northeastern University’s College of Engineering, with opportunities for joint cross-college appointments with the College of Science. The position will be based primarily on Northeastern University’s Boston campus, providing an exceptional environment for interdisciplinary research, education, and collaboration across engineering, science,
