MILWAUKEE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING FACULTY
Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) invites applica�ons at all ranks for
a full-�me faculty posi�on in Biomedical Engineering beginning in the fall
of 2014. Academic rank will depend on qualiﬁca�ons and experience of the
selected candidate.
Candidates must have an earned Doctorate in Biomedical Engineering or a
closely- related engineering ﬁeld by the beginning date of appointment. A
Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering or a related engineering
ﬁeld from an accredited ins�tu�on is preferred. Excellent communica�on skills
are required. Industrial experience is preferred. Candidates must be qualiﬁed
to instruct undergraduate integrated lecture/laboratory courses in biomedical
instrumenta�on, systems, controls and medical device design.
Applicants must be versa�le and have interest in teaching a variety of
undergraduate engineering courses and engaging in a range of professional
ac�vi�es. The applicant will be expected to remain up to date in new
developments in related technical and pedagogic ﬁelds and to integrate
these into her or his teaching. The successful candidate must have a strong
commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level. MSOE
enjoys close working rela�onships with regional companies and faculty
interac�on with these companies is especially encouraged.
MSOE's biomedical engineering program is ABET-accredited. The program was
established in 1975 and currently has over 140 students. Please visit www.
msoe.edu/eecs/be to learn more about the program.
Applicants should include a le�er of applica�on, curriculum vitae, statement

The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell
University in Ithaca, New York, invites applications for one or more
tenure-track Faculty positions in all areas of electrical and computer
engineering. We are particularly interested in outstanding candidates that
can make an impact on the following areas:
Advanced Nanoelectronic Devices, where candidates will push the
limits of the many avenues of nanodiscovery, and make useful devices/
circuits from them. Such individuals will be able to leverage Cornell's
strength in solid-state physics, materials, and nanosciences, as well as
our world-class Nanoscale Science & Technology Facility (CNF).
Ubiquitous Networked Data Processing, including but not limited to
applications to Internet of Things, Cyberphysical Systems, and LargeScale Data Centers. We are particularly interested in candidates that are
experts in one or more of the following core areas: high-dimensional
statistics/machine learning; modern optimization and control techniques;
embedded systems and hardware; data networks; storage systems and
hardware.
Applied Electromagnetics, where we seek excellent candidates that can
make an impact broadly on the following challenges: (1) Electromagnetics
applied to circuits, devices, antennae, etc., to move beyond the standard
design tools based upon Kirchhoff's laws to include more complete
electromagnetic theory where appropriate. (2) Pulsed Electromagnetics,
including ultra-fast electromagnetic and optoelectronic imaging
techniques. (3) Power- and Energy- related Electromagnetics at large
scale (e.g., switching high voltage DC).
Applicants must hold a doctorate in an appropriate field by the time
their Faculty appointment begins. They must have demonstrated an
ability to conduct outstanding research, and show promise for excellent
teaching. Applications at all levels will be considered; salary and rank are
commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a research statement, a
teaching statement, three recent publications, and complete contact
information for at least three references. Personal statements
summarizing teaching experience and interests, leadership efforts and
contributions to diversity are encouraged.
Applications must be made on-line at https://academicjobsonline.org/
ajo/jobs/3588. Applications received by January 24, 2014 will receive
full consideration. Applications will be evaluated on an ongoing basis
until the positions are filled.
The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and the College
of Engineering at Cornell embrace diversity and seek candidates who
will create a climate that attracts students of all races, nationalities
and genders. We strongly encourage women and underrepresented
minorities in all areas of ECE to apply.
Cornell University seeks to meet the needs of dual career couples, has a
Dual Career program, and is a member of the Upstate New York Higher
Education Recruitment Consortium to assist with dual career searches.
