Jobs/Internships

The First-Year Innovation & Research Experience (FIRE) is a major initiative at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD). FIRE provides first-year UMD students an inclusive faculty-mentored research experience that drives accelerated professional development and equality of opportunity.

The Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President is seeking full-time 12-month Assistant Clinical Professors to lead newly developed FIRE research streams designed around the research experience, passions, and goals of applicants.

We specifically seek individuals representing the following disciplines:

+ Social Science (Psychology, Economics, Education, Geography, History, Political Science, Sociology, and all related disciplines).

+ Technology & Applied Science (Computer Science, Engineering, Information & Data Science, Geographical Information Systems, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and all related disciplines).

+ FIRE Assistant Clinical Professors design and implement the group research agenda and are responsible for all research-related curriculum, instruction, and broad student mentorship. The position empowers early-career faculty members to grow as research leaders, educators, mentors, and higher education professionals.

+ FIRE Assistant Clinical Professors work in collaboration with department-based UMD faculty members to design and implement the research agenda of a new FIRE research stream. As the lead instructor of research-related FIRE courses, the FIRE Assistant Clinical Professors are tasked with providing an excellent educational experience through the development of a research-centered curriculum that allows for iteration: students engage in work that includes periods of uncertainty, setbacks, and unexpected outcomes and have the opportunity to repeat unsuccessful methodological attempts. As the professional that works with FIRE-participating students, FIRE Assistant Clinical Professors provide personal, academic, research, and professional mentorship.

Research assistantship position available for a graduate student with interest in Thermoelectrics, Materials Science and Thermal Engineering for extreme environments (e.g. Hypersonics). Specifically, the project addresses the challenge of developing thermoelectric sensors resilience in harsh temperature and pressure environments. Currently, commercial heatflux sensors are only useful up to ~300degC (the commercial sensor for hypersonic tunnels has a limit of 50C). There is a need for sensors that are robust and reliable for temperature 700C and higher, for large scale energy generation, for space science, etc. The student will work under the guidance of Profs. Oded Rabin (Mat.Sci.Eng.) and Sunderland (Fire Protection Eng.) towards a Ph.D. or M.Sc. degree, with potential collaborations with the Aerospace Engineering Dept or the Leibniz Institute for Solid State Research in Germany. The student will gain research experience in thermoelectric/semiconductor materials processing and characterization, microelectronics, measurement science, solid state physics and numerical modeling. The project started in 2021, funded by the Dept of Energy, and involves also a graduate student from Aerospace Engineering who recently received multiple awards for his work on this project.

Please contact Prof. Rabin (oded@umd.edu) ASAP for further details on the position.
