The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (EECE) at Marquette University seeks candidates for a tenure-track faculty position in Computer Engineering starting in August 2022. Appointment will be at the assistant-professor level. Faculty duties include teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, research, and supervision of graduate students. Candidates with expertise in computer vision are especially encouraged to apply. Areas of emphasis may include but are not limited to robotic vision and vision for autonomous vehicles; multi-task/multi-modal methods for contextual video understanding; self-supervised, adversarial, and reinforcement learning techniques applied to computer vision; domain adaptation and transfer learning methods for image and video understanding; integration of computer vision and natural language processing models; Bayesian models for deep neural networks; computer vision for embedded devices; edge processing methods for computer vision; and computer vision for IoT.

Marquette’s EECE department has 15 tenured/tenure track faculty, including 3 IEEE Fellows and an IEEE Technical Field Award recipient, one full-time adjunct professor, several part-time adjuncts, and nearly 200 undergraduate and 70 graduate students.  EECE offers ABET-accredited B.S. in Electrical Engineering and B.S. in Computer Engineering degrees. Graduate degrees include five-year B.S./M.S., two certificates, M.S., and Ph.D.  Research in EECE is on a steep upward trajectory, both in terms of funding and graduate enrollment, with many ongoing collaborations within EECE and with faculty outside the department and industry.  In 2021, EECE received upwards of $3.6M in research grants and contracts. EECE research is supported by state-of-the-art computing facilities: In addition to Marquette’s high-performance computer cluster, a $1.5M machine customized for machine-learning workloads, the EECE has recently built its own high performance computing cluster, comprising ten 24-core processors, dedicated to supporting the faculty and students in their machine-learning and computer-vision research.
