The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at Vanderbilt University is seeking
candidates for up to three T/TK faculty positions in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering. The School of
Engineering is on a strong upward trajectory in national and international stature and prominence, and has built
infrastructure to support a significant expansion in faculty size. Successful candidates for these positions are expected
to teach at undergraduate and graduate levels and develop and grow vigorous programs of externally funded research.
Areas of focus are: (1) Computer Assisted Surgery and Interventions. We seek world-class expertise in medical
image and signal analysis, computer vision, and medical robotics. The successful candidate will expand EECS
curricula in these areas and have a strong interest in translational research, collaboration with the Vanderbilt
University Medical Center, and is expected to engage with the Vanderbilt Institute in Surgery and Engineering.
VISE's mission is the creation, development, implementation, clinical evaluation and translation of methods,
devices, algorithms, and systems designed to facilitate surgical and interventional processes and their outcome.
(2) Big Data/Data Science/AI. We seek world-class expertise in broadly defined areas of data science, machine
learning, data mining, visualization, computer vision, and/or artificial intelligence. For openings (1) and (2), online applications are preferred at the assistant professor rank; please see https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/
jobs/7736. (3) Nanoscale optics, nano-electronics, computational nanoscience, new nanoscale materials, and/or
nano-energy. The successful candidate will expand the EE curriculum in these areas, and work with faculty, staff
and students in the Vanderbilt Institute of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE) to stretch the boundaries
of nanoscience to advance our multi-disciplinary research, education, and outreach missions. VINSE recently
constructed a new, state-of-the-art cleanroom and high-end instrumentation suite with expected occupancy in
Spring 2017. For this potential opening, applications will be considered at all faculty ranks. Please apply on line
at: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/7807.
Vanderbilt University is an equal-opportunity, affirmative-action employer that aspires to become a leader among
peer institutions in making meaningful and lasting progress in responding to the needs and concerns of women and
