semiconductor processing. Individuals in the position are expected
to provide outstanding research, teaching, and service related to
the mission of the School of Engineering and UC Merced.

Merced's diverse student body; (2) have demonstrated management or
organizational skills and will be comfortable advising students on
industrial career paths, entrepreneurship, and graduate study

inclusive engineering education; and (4) be interested in pushing
design thinking and experience forward with a teaching approach
that is suited to recent needs.
