Assistant​/Associate​/Full Professor; Tenured​/Tenure-Track), MizzouForward, Electrical Engineering

College of Engineering

The College of Engineering at the University of Missouri (MU) invites applications and nominations for tenured and tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant, associate, or full professor level. Successful candidates will hold their academic appointments in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science(EECS), with an affiliation in the Center for Geospatial Intelligence (CGI).

This recruitment is part of Mizzou Forward, a major institutionalinvestment in faculty recruitment, research infrastructure, and student success. Successful candidates will enhance externally funded research programs that expand MU’s strengths in geospatialintelligence, contribute to undergraduate and graduate education inEECS, and advance interdisciplinary research through CGI.

CGI conducts interdisciplinary research across a broad range ofareas, including satellite, airborne (e.g., drone), andground-based remote sensing; artificial intelligence; computer vision; autonomous systems; data fusion; high-performance computing; change detection; and surveillance. Incoming faculty will join a research community with established federalpartnerships and expertise in developing geospatial technologies for national security and other applications. CGI’s secure research facilities and specialized computing infrastructure support workwith government and industry partners.

The College of Engineering’s strategic plan emphasizesinterdisciplinary research connecting artificial intelligence,materials, and energy. Incoming faculty will have opportunities to contribute to these priorities through collaborations that applygeospatial analysis and advanced computing to areas such as energy infrastructure resilience, environmental monitoring, and materialsdiscovery. The Materials Science and Engineering Institute and theforthcoming Payne Energy Innovation Center, a 116,000-square-foot facility bringing together researchers in energy, materials, anddata science, will provide additional connections across

Engineering and other colleges.

Faculty will also have opportunities to collaborate through MU’s AI Education, Research and Infrastructure (AERI) Center, whichconnects researchers across disciplines to advance applied AI research, computing infrastructure, and workforce development. The Center for Cybersecurity and the Quantum Innovation Center offerfurther opportunities for collaborative research in secure system sand quantum approaches to computing and data analysis. University research resources include the Hellbender high-performance computing environment and immersive visualization facilities for AIand large-scale data analytics.

An earned doctorate in computer science, computer engineering,electrical engineering, or a closely related field by the time of appointment.

Active U.S. Government security clearance or ability to obtain U.S.Government security clearance at the Secret level or higher.

• Track record of external research funding, particularly fromfederal agencies
• Experience in, or demonstrated potential to contribute to, research addressing national security needs, including collaboration with federal agencies, national laboratories, or industry partners.
• Research portfolio and accomplishments (e.g., publication record, number of citations)
• National awards and honors, membership with nationalacademies
• Interdisciplinary orientation of their work

The priority Final date to receive applications is November 30th,2026 but the posting will remain open until filled. Candidatesacross all academic ranks will be considered. This is not a remoteopportunity.
