The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at
Carnegie Mellon has Research Track Faculty Openings.
Exceptional candidates in all areas of Electrical and
Computer Engineering will be given serious consideration.

The College of Engineering and the Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering are both ranked among the top
programs in the United States both at the undergraduate
and graduate level. The faculty has strong ties with many
multidisciplinary centers and institutes such as the Institute
for Complex Engineered Systems (graduated NSF ERC),
Software Engineering Institute, Human Computer Interaction Institute, The Robotics Institute, and the Information
Networking Institute. The department is home to several
multidisciplinary centers and laboratories such as the Data
Storage Systems Center (Graduated NSF ERC), Center for
Silicon System Implementation, Microelectromechanical
Systems Laboratory, SRC Smart Grid Research Center, the
Parallel Data Laboratory, and the Computer Architecture Lab
at Carnegie Mellon. Faculty members in the Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering also have ties and
collaborations with colleagues around the world through a
number of formal research and educational programs. The
department has extensive experimental and computing infrastructure. The department currently maintains state of the art
nanofabrication facilities and will be significantly expanding
these in both capability and scale within the next few years.
Research track faculty members are not required to teach
and may therefore focus exclusively on developing their
leadership within their area of research, developing research
collaborations and supervising PhD students. Occasionally,
research track faculty members may teach if they and the
department feel this would advance their programs. We
expect candidates for a research track position to have a

strong commitment to research. The department is primarily
seeking individuals for faculty positions at the Assistant
Research Professor rank. Applicants must have earned
a doctorate in a related area by the date of appointment.
Applications should include a comprehensive resume, a
list of three to five professional references, a statement of
research interests (less than 2 pages), and copies of two
research papers (journal or conference papers). The applicant
is responsible for soliciting the reference letters to be sent
directly to the address below. All application materials
including letters of reference may be sent electronically to
ed@ece.cmu.edu or to:
T.E. (Ed) Schlesinger
Department Head and
Schramm Professor
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Hamerschlag Hall
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3890

Evaluation of applications will begin immediately and continue throughout the academic year until available positions
are filled. Candidates are encouraged to apply early. Carnegie
Mellon is building a culturally diverse faculty and encourages applications from female and minority candidates.
Carnegie Mellon is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

California State University - Fresno
invites applications for two tenure-track
faculty positions

Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering
Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering
(emphasis in Energy)
Candidates are expected to teach a broad spectrum
of courses in the ECE curricula as well as carry out
scholarly work in their technical area of expertise
which should include at least two of the following:
Computer Engineering position - Advanced
computer architecture, VLSI design, mixed signals,
software engineering, firmware integration, and
embedded systems.
Energy position - Energy conversion and machine
design, energy sources and power plants, transmission and distribution, smart grids, renewable
energy, and power systems modeling and control.
Other duties include student advising and
mentoring, project and thesis supervision, and
university service at all levels. An earned doctorate
in EE, CompE, or related area is required. For

California State University - Fresno is an affirmative action/equal opportunity institution.

The Electrical Engineering Department at the

University of Washington

SEEKS TO HIRE multiple tenure-track faculty members at
the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor to start in
Fall 2013. While all areas related to EE are of interest, and
applications at all levels are invited, particular emphasis is on
candidates for tenure-track assistant professor positions whose
expertise blends well with the Department's strategic areas of
energy, biology and medicine, big data, and the integration of
hardware, systems, and algorithms.
Candidates must demonstrate the relevance of their research and how they plan to collaborate with UW
colleagues working in these and other areas. Candidates are expected to hold a PhD and have a record of
published research.
UW HAS THE HIGHEST LEVEL of federal funding of all public universities, and the second highest among all
universities in the United States. The Electrical Engineering Department currently has 39 tenure track faculty
members (32 men / 7 women). External research expenditures of the department in 2011-2012 were nearly
$13 M (see www.ee.washington.edu). UW faculty engage in significant teaching, research and service.
PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR RESUME, list of publications, statement of research and teaching interests and goals,
as well as the names and addresses of at least three references on our website: http://www.ee.washington.
edu/facsearch/. Applications will be accepted until March 1, 2013. For any administrative issues related to
the search, please contact Sarah McDonald (assist_to_chair@ee.washington.edu). For informal or technical
inquiries, contact Prof. Blake Hannaford (blake@u.washington.edu).
THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON is building a culturally diverse faculty and strongly encourages
applications from female and minority candidates. The University of Washington is the recipient of a 2006
Alfred P. Sloan Award for Faculty Career Flexibility and a 2001 National Science Foundation ADVANCE
Institutional Transformation Award to increase the advancement of women faculty in science, engineering,
and mathematics (see www.engr.washington.edu/advance). The University of Washington is an Equal
Opportunity, Affirmative Action Employer and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples. Appointment
is subject to the availability of funds.
