Open Positions in ECE


Faculty Candidates

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, seeks applications to fill one or more tenure-track positions at all levels. We are particularly interested in candidates working in research areas that require expertise in analog and mixed-signal circuits and RF/microwave electromagnetics. Exceptional applicants in other ECE areas will also be considered. Information on department research activities and curricula may be found on the web at www.ece.utah.edu. Faculty responsibilities include developing and maintaining an internationally recognized research program, effective classroom teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and professional service.

Salt Lake City is surrounded by the beautiful Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountains and located within a short driving distance from world-class ski resorts and world-renowned national parks (http://www.ece.utah.edu/slc_ut). The city is also a technological hub that is home to a large number of start-up companies. In 2010, faculty at the University of Utah founded or co-founded more companies than any other school in the US. Fueled in part by strong support from the State of Utah through the USTAR Initiative (http://www.ustar.utah.edu), the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has experienced significant growth in recent years and currently has 27 tenured and tenure-track faculty, ~$10M in annual research expenditures and ~80 doctoral students. An important component of the department’s strategic plan is to continue this growth in coming years.

Applicants should apply online at http://utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/9550. Résumés with names and contact information for at least three references, a statement of research, and a teaching statement should be included with the on-line application. Applications will be reviewed starting November 1, 2011, and will be accepted until the positions are filled. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. by the time of appointment.
