Professor/Assistant Professor (Tenure Track)
of Digital Integrated Circuits and Systems
The Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (www.ee.ethz.ch), ETH Zurich, invites applications for a tenured professorship or tenure-track assistant professorship in digital integrated circuits and systems. The
new professor is expected to develop a strong research program in digital integrated circuits for complex and embedded
systems, such as those crucial for communications, multimedia, signal processing and networking, in deep submicron and
nanometer VLSI technologies.
The applicant will be expected to have a Ph.D. degree, as well as an established track record or proven potential in such disciplines as embedded systems, communications, digital signal processing, and architecture of dedicated digital computing
machines or processors. Theoretical rigor and creativity in one or more of the fields above will be essential, as is the ability of
the candidate to reduce such theoretical ideas into practice by way of high performance, low power and cost-effective VLSI
microchips. The new professor will be expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German or English) and graduate
level courses (English) in electronics, signal processing or computer engineering subjects typical of an ECE department.
The position can be filled at either assistant professor (tenure track) or professor level, depending on the age, scientific
experience, and record of the applicant. Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of younger
scientists. An assistant professor will be initially appointed for four years with the possibility of renewal for an additional
two-year period and promotion to a permanent position.
Please apply online at www.facultyaffairs.ethz.ch. Your application should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications,
and statements on future teaching and research activities. The letter of application should be addressed to the President
of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Ralph Eichler. The closing date for applications is 30 November 2011. With a view towards increasing
the number of women in leading academic positions, ETH Zurich specifically encourages women to apply.

Portland State University

invites applications for a position as Associate
Professor or Professor and Westside Program

FACULTY OPENING
The Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University
(http://ee.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty
appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate
Professor) in the broadly defined field of electrical and computer
engineering. Priority will be given to the overall originality and promise
of the candidate's work as opposed to any specific area of specialization.
Applicants should have an earned Ph.D., evidence of the ability to
pursue an independent program of research, a strong commitment to
both graduate and undergraduate teaching, and the ability to initiate
and conduct research across disciplines. A successful candidate will be
expected to teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels and
to build and lead a team of graduate students in Ph.D. research.
Applications should include a brief research and teaching plan, a detailed
resume including a publication list, and the names and addresses of at
least five references.
Candidates should apply online at http://ee.stanford.edu/jobs.php
Applications will be accepted until December 21, 2011.
