Job Summary

Position Description

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) invites applications for five open-rank (Full, Associate, or Assistant Professor) tenured/tenure-track faculty positions in Electrical and Computer Engineering. This is an open rank search with a preference for at least some of the appointments to be made at the rank of Assistant Professor.

Candidates from related disciplines, such as Computer Science, Materials Science, or Physics, whose research is relevant to Electrical and Computer Engineering, may be considered.

Research in ECE is divided into five broad areas:
Semiconductor Devices, Circuits and Systems, Signals and Systems, Power and Energy Systems, and Computing Systems and Computer Engineering. The focus of this search is mainly on semiconductor devices, computing systems, and computer engineering. Exceptional candidates in the other three areas will be considered.

We are interested in Hardware Security and Trustworthy Architectures, Digital Twins, Smart Manufacturing, AI applications in multimodal signal processing, generative AI, and Quantum computation. In addition, we are interested in research areas related to semiconductor devices, including semiconductor manufacturing, packaging, and heterogeneous integration. Additionally, the search will also consider exceptional candidates with research interests that align with the five critical research thrusts of the Jonsson School.

Teaching responsibilities will include undergraduate and graduate-level courses in the core curriculum, as well as the candidate's area of specialization. In addition to teaching, the position requires an active research agenda, publication, and service in the UT Dallas and professional communities.

The appointment commences for the fall 2026 semester.
