Department of Chemistry: Art Krieg Professorship
The Department of Chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for the Art Krieg Professorship, which will recognize a distinguished scientist who is a leader in their field of research and an innovator in building cross-disciplinary connections between chemistry, engineering, and other related disciplines. The Art Krieg Professor will hold a full-time tenured position at Washington University at the rank of Professor, with a primary appointment in Chemistry and a joint appointment in one of the departments in the McKelvey School of Engineering.
We invite applicants in all areas of chemistry, broadly defined, and especially encourage applications from individuals whose research intersects multiple disciplines within or beyond chemistry. Potential research topics of interest include, but are in no way limited to: AI-enabled drug discovery or protein design, synthetic biology or metabolic engineering, quantum materials, targeted drug delivery, and tools for biomarker discovery and analysis. For more information about our strategic priorities, please consult Washington University's vision statement (hereandnext.wustl.edu/vision/). The Krieg Professor is expected to maintain an internationally recognized and highly-visible research program, participate in the educational mission of the university through classroom teaching and mentoring of researchers, and perform committee work and other university service.
The Department of Chemistry highly values the ability to work with diverse students and colleagues and contribute to building an inclusive environment. We are committed to the principles and practices of equal employment opportunity. It is the University's policy to recruit, hire, train, and promote persons in all job titles without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, protected veteran status, disability, or genetic information.
