Assistant Professor - Emerging Directions in Chemical Engineering

POSITION DESCRIPTION The Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry in the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering at the University of Toronto invites applications for a full-time tenure stream position in the broad field of chemical engineering. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2027. This search aligns with the University’s commitment to strategically and proactively promote diversity among our community members ( Statement on Equity, Diversity & Excellence ). Recognizing that women, Black, Indigenous, and other Racialized communities have experienced inequities that have developed historically and are ongoing, we strongly welcome and encourage candidates from those communities to apply. We seek candidates pursuing innovative research in emerging and evolving areas of chemical engineering. Areas of interest include, but not limited to, sustainable and energy-efficient processes and industrial decarbonization; catalysis and reaction engineering; transport phenomena, including biotransport; advanced separations, including bioseparations; and food engineering and sustainable food processing. The Department is concurrently conducting focused faculty searches in Biological Engineering and Electrochemical Engineering. Candidates whose research is primarily aligned with either of these areas should apply to the corresponding focused searches titled Assistant Professor-Biological Engineering and Assistant Professor-Electrochemical Engineering on the University of Toronto faculty career opportunities website .
