The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning Fall 2027. The department seeks a teacher-scholar committed to inclusive, equity-minded undergraduate teaching and an active program of scholarship in electrical and/or computer engineering. This appointment is intended to strengthen the department's curricular and scholarly capacity in digital hardware, computer engineering, and integrated electronic systems while supporting Gonzaga's teaching-centered and mission-driven environment.

The department is especially interested in candidates whose expertise can support courses and laboratories in areas such as digital system design, computer hardware design and architecture, embedded systems, VLSI or integrated circuits, and related electrical/computer engineering topics. Candidates with complementary expertise in electronic circuits, semiconductor devices, FPGA/HDL-based design, or closely related areas are also encouraged to apply. Applicants are requested to describe in their cover letter which existing ECE courses they are prepared to teach immediately and what new technical elective(s), laboratory experiences, or senior design projects they would be prepared to develop.

The successful candidate will teach the equivalent of 18 semester credit hours per academic year, typically three 3-credit courses per semester. The department is committed to excellence in undergraduate teaching, attentive advising, extensive laboratory experiences, and sustained faculty engagement with professional development and scholarly activity.
