Autonomy and Machine Learning Career Opportunities
The Information Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is looking for outstanding researchers to address cutting-edge problems in
autonomous systems and machine learning vital to the nation's security. AFRL is a basic and applied research laboratory that has explored and advanced
science and technology for the US Air Force for more than 60 years. The AFRL Information Directorate employs approximately 750 scientists and
engineers, and is the Air Force's center of expertise for R&D of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, and (C4I) technologies.
Work is conducted across a broad spectrum of information technologies in areas such as signal processing and information fusion, next generation
communication systems, high performance computing, human-machine decision support systems, cyber security, and data mining and pattern analysis
for intelligence information systems.
Emphasis areas for open technical staff positions include artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining (including but not limited to deep
learning, reinforcement learning, computer vision, search, and planning for intelligent systems, time-series analysis, and large graph mining). Additional
experience in multi-agent systems, optimization, modeling & simulation, learning systems and tools, robotics and sensor systems is desired as well as
strong abilities in software development.
MS, and PhD degree holders in these fields are sought. AFRL Information Directorate staff members have been at the forefront of information science and
technology developments. Staff members work on multi-disciplinary in-house teams and have the opportunity to work with leading researchers across
academia and industry
cutting edge technologies. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate depth in advanced autonomous systems, via

Assistant or Associate Professor Position in
Electrical and Computer Engineering

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR

Department of Electrical Engineering
The Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Colorado
Denver invites applications for multiple tenure track positions at the
Assistant Professor level. Exceptional candidates at higher levels will
be considered. Candidates are being sought in the areas of electromagnetics (including plasmonics, metamaterials, advanced antennas,
bioelectromagnetics, RF circuits and systems), communications (including scalable and efficient IOT communication, massive MIMO, vehicular networks, wireless communication or emerging technologies),
and power (including power systems, renewable energies, power
electronics, smart grids). Other related areas will also be considered.

The Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at San Diego State University (SDSU)
invites applications for a tenure track appointment
at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor
with an anticipated start date of August 2017.
Applicants must hold an earned Ph.D. in Electrical or Computer Engineering or
closely-related discipline with a research focus on implantable and wearable
bioinstrumentation, sensor design, sensor integration, and microelectronics for
detection, diagnosis, rehabilitation, and intervention. All these topics offer a broad
range of cooperation opportunities within our faculty. The faculty hired into this
position will join the newly established area of excellence in Smart Health and
work closely with faculty from various disciplines participating in the Smart Health
Institute.

Candidates should have a PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related
field by the employment start date in August 2017. Candidates should
have a strong academic record and have demonstrated an excellent
potential to establish a funded research program and direct MS and
PhD student research. Candidates should have a commitment to teach
both undergraduate and graduate courses in Electrical Engineering.
The University of Colorado Denver downtown campus is located in
the heart of Denver minutes from the Denver tech center, which is
the fastest growing technology economy in North America. The new
University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus is minutes
from downtown and is a major research center that involves research
faculty from all colleges and departments across the University.

The successful candidate should strengthen one or more research focuses of the
faculty, especially wireless health, wearable computing, cognitive health systems,
wireless power transfer and implantable brain computer interfaces. Opportunities
for collaboration with other faculties of the university and with industry are a plus.

All applications must be submitted at http://www.cu.edu/cu-careers
(refer to job #06538).

Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2016 and will continue until the
