Dean Schlesinger and the HEMI Executive Committee have launched an international search for the new Director of the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute.

Building on HEMI’s first decade of groundbreaking work in the analysis of materials in extreme environments that cover space, defense, and climate, the new Director will have the opportunity to further establish the Institute as the leading site for innovative work in the field of extreme materials and structures, advancing our collaborations across the Whiting School, the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences, and the Applied Physics Lab, and beyond Hopkins with external partners and sponsors.

Dean Schlesinger and the HEMI Advisory Committee have formed a search committee, chaired by Professor Tim Weihs, and have engaged Opus Partners as external advisors to the search. The position announcement is available here and on the websites of a range of professional and scholarly associations. To nominate potential internal or external candidates or to express interest in being considered as a candidate, contact Tim Weihs in his capacity as search committee chair or contact our consultants at Opus via [email protected].
