Berkeley Nanosciences and Nanoengineering Institute (BNNI)
Junior Faculty Position in Nanoscale Science and Engineering and Quantum
Information
The University of California, Berkeley solicits applications for a junior faculty position beginning
in the Fall of 2008. Candidates are sought in the fields at the intersection of nanoscale science and
engineering and quantum information science. Areas of consideration include nanostructured
materials and/or devices for quantum information processing and communication, with emphasis
either on experimental implementation or theoretical investigation. An integrated program of
theory and experiment would be of particular interest.
This faculty search will be conducted under the auspices of the Berkeley Nanosciences and
Nanoengineering Institute (BNNI), with participation from the Departments of Physics, Chemical
Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, Materials Science and
Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The successful candidate will have the potential to
interact with scientists and engineers across a wide spectrum of disciplines, and to help develop
the new interdisciplinary initiative in nanoscale science and engineering.
Instructions to applicants: Please submit your application electronically at:
http://bnni-intranet.berkeley.edu:80/sReg.php?i=6
Please provide the following as PDFs: a complete curriculum vitae, a selection of publication
reprints (five or less), and a brief statement of future research plans and teaching interests. You
should also contact at least three references and provide them with the unique URL created
specifically for those submitting letters on your behalf. This will be displayed near the top of
your page once you have uploaded your files. UC Berkeley’s Statement of Confidentiality can be

Assistant Professor Position in Nanoscale Science and Engineering and Energy
The University of California, Berkeley solicits applications for a tenure track position of
Assistant Professor beginning in the Fall of 2008. Candidates are sought in the fields at the
intersection of nanoscale science and engineering with implications for energy technology. Many
of the fundamental length scales involved in energy conversion, transmission, and storage occur
at the nanoscales. Therefore, nanoscale science and engineering provide the opportunity to
discover and develop new processes and systems to cost-effectively convert, store, and transmit
energy that significantly reduces the atmospheric burden of greenhouse gases. Topics of interest
include but are not limited to catalysis, surface adsorption, fuel synthesis and processing
including biofuels, bioprocessing, thermoelectrics, fuel cells, batteries, photovoltaic cells,
superconducting power transmission, clean coal conversion, nuclear power, etc.
This faculty search will be conducted under the auspices of the Berkeley Nanosciences and
Nanoengineering Institute (BNNI), with participation from the Departments of Physics,
Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, Materials
Science and Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The successful candidate will have the
potential to interact with scientists and engineers across a wide spectrum of disciplines, and to
help develop the new interdisciplinary initiative in nanoscale science and engineering.
