Assistant Professor Tenure-Track in Electrical and Computer Engineering-Florida A&M University; FAMU-Florida State

Position: Assistant Professor Tenure-Track in Electrical and Computer Engineering-Florida A&M University (FAMU)-Florida State
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the Florida A&M University (FAMU)-Florida State University (FSU) College of Engineering invites applications from highly qualified individuals for tenure-track faculty positions with research and teaching interests in contemporary electrical and computer engineering. We are seeking faculty candidates for an assistant professor position; however, exceptional candidates will be considered for higher ranks.

The anticipated appointment time is Fall 2026. The ECE Department currently has 32 faculty members, 100+ graduate students, over 400 undergraduate students, and annual research expenditures exceeding $5M. The two universities and outstanding research facilities in the affiliated local research buildings/centers provide opportunities for collaboration with faculty in Computer Science and Scientific Computing, Statistics, High-Performance Materials Institute (HPMI), Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP), the Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS), National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL), and FSU College of Medicine.

Applicants for this position are expected to establish strong long-term independent and collaborative research programs that engage graduate and undergraduate students. The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is the nexus of two major public universities, each with a distinct mission but focused on world-class engineering education and research. Created by the Florida Legislature in 1982, the joint institution is the college of engineering for both Florida A&M and Florida State universities.

This unique combination of focus, resources and mission from our parent institutions has created on our campus a truly innovative atmosphere that leverages the benefits of the traditional HBCU model with the innovations of an R-1 public research university. After completing prerequisites at their home institution, FAMU and FSU students learn, study and research together at our independent campus with joint-appointed faculty and staff.

Students graduate from their enrolling university and from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Both FAMU and FSU are part of the State University System of Florida and are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. Additionally, all seven of the college's eligible undergraduate degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below)..
