The Department of Electrical Engineering in the School of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Pennsylvania
State University invites applications for multiple tenure-track
faculty positions at all levels. Preferred candidates must hold a
doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
with appropriate experience. The successful candidates will
be expected to establish and sustain an outstanding research
program and must have outstanding ability to teach effectively
at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Department
has 35 tenured/tenure-track faculty members, with annual
research expenditures of approximately $13.5 million. The
undergraduate (juniors and seniors) and graduate programs
currently enroll over 620 and 220 students, respectively.
Screening of applicants will begin on November 1, 2017.
Exceptional candidates for multiple positions from a broad
range of areas in electrical and computer engineering will be
considered, including communications, signal processing,
electromagnetics, electronic devices, and energy systems.
Areas of particular interest include: communications and
networking for large-scale distributed systems, data storage
and security, and network science; machine learning for
image, video, speech, and bio/genomic signal processing, and
for complex systems; applied electromagnetics for RF and
millimeter wave wireless systems, multi-functional antennas
and metamaterials; solid state nanoelectronics for future
generation computing, communications, sensors, storage, and
biomedical applications; circuit design and fabrication using
emerging devices; power electronics hardware and widebandgap devices for smart grid, electrical vehicles, and data
centers. The position in the nanoelectronics area is specifically
intended for an experienced individual who is qualified to
take on a leadership role at the Nanofabrication Laboratory.
Candidates whose research relate to these areas with a focus
on neuromorphic computing and omics are also encouraged
to apply.
