Degree and area of specialization:
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or closely related field and demonstrated excellence in research and teaching.


Minimum number of years and type of relevant work experience:
Candidates will have a distinguished academic record, exceptional potential in establishing an internationally recognized research program in next generation electronics and optoelectronics, specifically in the area of wide-bandgap or ultrawide-bandgap semiconductor devices (e.g., III-nitride materials), and a commitment to high-quality undergraduate and graduate instruction and mentoring.

Position Summary:

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Wisconsin- Madison is growing its faculty in the areas of solid-state electronics and quantum technologies, and optics and photonics, and is seeking candidates for a tenure-track position in the area of wide-bandgap and ultrawide-bandgap semiconductor physics, materials, and devices. The department is specifically interested in candidates with a strong background and experimental expertise in the growth and synthesis of III-nitride materials for device applications in power electronics and sustainable energy systems, bioelectronics and biophotonics for healthcare technologies, and optoelectronics for computing and communications. Candidates who transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries are especially encouraged.


The ECE Department's mission is to foster a diverse and inclusive community that advances the frontiers of engineering, disseminates discoveries and inventions, and prepares students to make the world a better place for all. Candidates who have specific goals and plans that are aligned with this mission and whose research and teaching interests fall within the areas described above are strongly encouraged to apply.

Principal duties:
Teaching undergraduate and graduate courses and contributing to curriculum updates and innovations; supervising graduate student research and mentoring graduate students; developing and directing a strong, extramurally funded research program; participating in departmental and university faculty governance; and contribution to professional and public service.

Additional Information:
The ECE Department at the UW-Madison has a long tradition of excellence in educating, mentoring, and inspiring future leaders; conducting research that is of vital importance to society; and serving Wisconsin, our nation, and the world through professional pursuits. The Department currently has 43 full-time tenure-track/tenured faculty (more than 20% of which are women), approximately 300 graduate students, and roughly 900 undergraduate students. Our undergraduate and graduate programs are all ranked in the top 10 among all public institutions in the U.S.


The Department's five-year strategic plan includes the following priorities: increasing and embracing diversity, and cultivating a thriving and inclusive community that is welcoming, supportive and respectful. The Department is committed to having a diverse faculty, staff, and student body. Candidates from traditionally under-represented groups in engineering are strongly encouraged to apply.
