Preferred candidates should have completed or be near completion of a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field. The positions are expected to commence August 2022. Qualified candidates should have demonstrated excellence in scholarly research and publications, the strong potential for sustaining an externally funded research program, and a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. Candidates for senior ranks at the Associate/Full Professor level must have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in externally funded research, instruction, and mentoring of students. Successful applicants are expected to conduct research and teach in areas across the electrical engineering discipline with a preference on the following topics: 1) radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) and systems, analog and mixed-signal RFIC designs and/or RF interfaces in advanced silicon and related emerging technologies, specifically in the areas of CMOS and SiGe RFIC design with targeted applications in millimeter-wave and/or terahertz (THz) wireless communications; 2) next-generation wireless communication and/or radar systems, with a particular focus on the innovative hardware/software implementation and emerging technology in machine learning and artificial intelligence, quantum photonics for communications, sensing, and computing. Successful candidates must be committed to the academic success of students, value and encourage diversity, and support collaborations with areas of excellence, such as the Center for Wireless and Microwave Information Systems (WAMI) recognized internationally for its mission to offer integrated research and education programs in wireless and microwave technology, across the college and university, and beyond.
