Faculty Positions in Nuclear Engineering and Science

National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan

The Institute of Nuclear Engineering and Science (NES) at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) invites applications for one or more tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant, associate, or full professor level.

NES is a leading center for nuclear engineering and science education and research in Taiwan. The Institute offers comprehensive master's and doctoral programs and maintains strong teaching and research programs in reactor physics and risk analysis, nuclear thermal hydraulics, nuclear materials, nuclear science, and beam technology. Its research spans two broad areas: nuclear power plant engineering; and radiation applications and nuclear science.

As part of its long-term growth, NES seeks outstanding scholars whose work will strengthen one or more of the following priority areas:

• Nuclear energy systems, including small/micro modular reactors, advanced reactor concepts, and fusion and applied plasma physics
• Medical physics, including radiation therapy, medical imaging, and nuclear medicine
• Radiochemistry and radiation chemistry, broadly encompassing radiopharmaceutical sciences and radioisotope applications, nuclear systems chemistry (including reactor water chemistry), and related interdisciplinary fields

We welcome applications from candidates at all career stages. Successful candidates will be expected to establish, or demonstrate the potential to establish, an independent and internationally recognized research program; contribute to high-quality teaching and student mentorship at the undergraduate and graduate levels; and participate actively in interdisciplinary collaboration within and beyond the Institute.

Research Environment

NES offers a collaborative academic environment and opportunities to:

• Work across nuclear engineering, medical physics, radiation science, biology, and imaging science
• Collaborate with university-wide research centers and external clinical and research partners
• Participate in international research networks and joint projects
• Pursue sustained research directions aligned with the Institute's strategic priorities

Qualifications

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline and demonstrate strong potential for excellence in research and teaching. The academic rank and terms of appointment will be commensurate with the successful candidate's qualifications and experience.

Application Materials

A complete application should include the following materials, combined into a single PDF file:

1. Cover letter
2. Curriculum vitae
3. Statement of research interests and future plans
4. Statement of teaching experience and philosophy

Applicants selected for further consideration will be asked to arrange for three confidential letters of recommendation to be submitted directly by the referees. At least one letter should be provided by the applicant's doctoral dissertation advisor. If this is not feasible, the applicant may identify another referee who can provide a similarly informed assessment of the applicant's doctoral research and explain the substitution when requested.

Application and Inquiries

Please submit the application PDF by email and direct inquiries to:

Professor Hui-Yu Tsai
Director, Institute of Nuclear Engineering and Science
National Tsing Hua University
