UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering of the University of Florida invites applications for a tenure/tenure track position at the rank of Assistant, Associate or Full Professor. Candidates are sought with interests in metals research with demonstrated expertise in, for example:
- Mechanical metallurgy, with emphasis in deformation, including mesoscale modeling of deformation.
- Materials stability, particularly in corrosion, electrochemistry, oxidation, and/or coatings.
- Advanced materials characterization (e.g. TEM, FIB, LEAP).
- Novel processing, for example in thin films and metallic glasses.
- Phase transformations, solidification and kinetics.

Professor Franky So and his research group along with Professor John Reynolds’ group in the Chemistry Department recently demonstrated “inverted polymer solar cells” with power conversion efficiency exceeding 8%. Typical polymer solar cells require a low work function metal for the top cathode and this device architecture is not compatible with roll-to-roll processing. The so-called inverted cells have a bottom ZnO layer made by sol-gel process which replaces the low work function cathode.
Materials Science & Engineering is now accepting applications for Research Experience for Undergraduates. This is a 10 week program that will allow you to conduct research in a lab while participating in a variety of professional and social events. You will work in a research lab, learning the techniques and skills needed to succeed in a career in science and engineering.
