Experience College Of Engineering 1169882 Working/Functional Title Assistant/Associate/Full Professor Tenure System Position Summary The College of Engineering at Michigan State University (MSU) invites applications for a tenure-system faculty position in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (ChEMS) in the areas related to composite materials science and manufacturing. Candidates must have an
earned PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related discipline at the time of appointment, starting as early as summer of 2027. Applications will be accepted at all ranks. This position leverages the MSU-Fraunhofer USA Center Midwest (CMW) collaboration, designed to address global grand challenges and national priorities through the creation of new faculty positions in some of
the most promising – and critical – fields of research related to coatings, materials, and advanced manufacturing. The candidate is expected to complement the growing composites portfolio at MSU and CMW with a focus on fundamental and applied research and industry interaction. The position requires close collaboration with CMW and Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (ICT) in Germany, as well as other
Fraunhofer Institutes active in the composite space. In particular, the candidate will support the ongoing coordination between the composites activities at MSU – including the Composite Materials and Structures Center (CMSC) – and CMW. All areas of composite materials and manufacturing will be considered, with particular interest in: Experimental processing and manufacturing of structural composites, especially
continuous-fiber thermoplastics Composite material, interface, and surface development Multifunctional and discontinuous-fiber composite systems Process monitoring, modeling, automation, and AI-assisted manufacturing Design and optimization informed by process–structure–property relationships Sustainable, recyclable, and circular composite technologies Advanced multi-scale and in situ characterization of composite
