The Center for Micro-Engineering Materials (CMEM) at the University of New Mexico (UNM) is seeking applicants for a Research Professor faculty position, highly motivated and skilled researchers in development and characterization of next-generation electrochemical energy conversion materials. The successful candidate will focus on the synthesis, processing, and advanced characterization of catalyst materials for fuel cells and water electrolysis systems. This includes electrocatalysts, ionomers, membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs), and related nanostructured materials. The successful applicants will be hired at the research professor rank depending on experience and demonstrated qualifications. The University of New Mexico is the only Carnegie-classified R1 (very high research activity) university in the state and is a federally-designated Hispanic Serving Institution. Our faculty benefit and actively collaborate with federally-funded UNM and School of Engineering research centers, a nationally ranked School of Medicine , and nearby national laboratories ( Sandia National Laboratories , Los Alamos National Laboratory , and Air Force Research Laboratory ). The UNM Lobo Rainforest provides an entrepreneurial ecosystem, which includes Rainforest Innovations and the Innovation Academy , that translates research to market.
