Successful candidates are expected to collaborate with and build on existing MSU activities focused on developing engineered systems (e.g., buildings, on-site energy generation and storage, water systems, transportation) and innovative devices to address multidisciplinary, global problems (e.g., climate change, energy, water/food security, public health and safety), with an emphasis on enabling and supporting full participation of minoritized, marginalized, and underrepresented communities. This open position is supported by the MSU Provost’s 1855 Professorships initiative that is aligned with the university’s diversity, equity, and inclusion strategic plan and seeks to “…elevate the academic quality and reputation at MSU.” For more information about the 1855 Professorships, visit: https://provost.msu.edu/priorities-and-initiatives/1855-professorships.
