Faculty Positions


Dear Colleagues, 

We  are advertising an Assistant Professor position in our department (see below this note). If you know anyone that is interested, please forward this along...  this exact advert will soon be posted online and in journals including Science.

Note: this position is deliberately casting what seems to be a broad net because we seek hiring a colleague that finds a natural fit amongst the areas of research and mentorship within our department. We want the best scientific colleague that would be happy and productive in our department and at Clemson University, not a specific pre-defined area of research.  

Thank you!
Amy
