Faculty (Open Rank) - TechnoEconomic Analysis/LCA for Energy & Climate Engineering Technologies

Job description

Description The Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) is a unique interdisciplinary school launched by the University of Chicago in 2011 with the aim of translating molecular and quantum science into technological solutions with potential societal impact in health and immunology, energy/water/materials, environmental sustainability, and quantum information technology. PME does groundbreaking research that spans polymeric materials, new water purification methods, battery materials, sensing applications, self-assembly of materials to prevent and treat disease, and more. PME is affiliated with Argonne National Laboratory, an independent unit within the university, and joint appointment is encouraged when appropriate. The Climate Systems Engineering initiative was launched in 2023 as a university-wide initiative to app l y insights from systems engineering and climate systems science to study technologies that might reduce the risks of accumulated greenhouse gases . It works to advance understanding of the potential benefits and risks of technologies including solar geoengineering from modification to surface albedo to space-based systems; open-systems carbon removal such as...
