The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) at
Boston University (BU) is seeking candidates for several faculty
positions. We are seeking candidates for an endowed full professor in the general areas of photonics, solid-state devices and
nanostructures. We are also seeking candidates for two tenure
track assistant professors: one in the areas of data sciences,
machine learning and information systems, and a second in
the areas of photonics materials and devices and their applications. The Department is seeking to foster growth in the broad,
interdisciplinary topics of energy, health, information and cyberphysical systems. Candidates with research interests that transcend the traditional boundaries of ECE are strongly encouraged
to apply, and explore potential collaborations with BU's multidisciplinary centers such as the Photonics Center and the Center for
Information and Systems Engineering. Joint appointments with
other BU departments and with the Division of Material Science
& Engineering and Division of Systems Engineering are available
for candidates with appropriate experience and interests.
Qualified candidates must possess a relevant, earned PhD, and
have a demonstrable ability to teach effectively at graduate and
undergraduate levels, develop funded research programs in their
area of expertise, and contribute to the tradition of excellence
in research that is characteristic of the ECE Department. Selfmotivated individuals who thrive on challenge and are eager to
utilize their expertise to strengthen an ambitious program of departmental enhancement are desired. Women, minorities, and
candidates from other underrepresented groups are especially
encouraged to apply and help us continue building an exceptional 21st century university department.
ECE at BU is a world-class department with excellent resources
that is steadily gaining national and international prominence for
its exceptional research and education record. ECE is part of BU's
rapidly growing and innovative College of Engineering, currently
ranked 39th and in the top 20 in research funding per faculty
member. ECE currently consists of 40 faculty members, 250
graduate students, and 250 BS majors. Outstanding collaboration opportunities are available with nationally recognized medical centers and universities/ colleges, nearby research centers,
and industry throughout the Boston area.
Beyond its research and academic activities, BU has a lively, urban campus situated along the banks of the Charles River in Boston's historic Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood. The campus and
surrounding areas offer limitless opportunities for recreational
activities, from world-class art and performances to sporting
events and fine dining.
