Open Rank Tenured / Tenure-Track Positions in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

 

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) of the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering at Rowan University invites applicants for tenure-track or tenured positions at the assistant, associate, or full professor levels. The ECE Department is experiencing dramatic increases in undergraduate and graduate enrollment, areas of research, and research expenditures. To accommodate and support this growth, we are adding several faculty members at all ranks to our department. We are seeking innovative scholars whose dedication to excellence in research and teaching will help us significantly broaden our areas of expertise and impact.  Senior-level candidates with exceptional achievements and demonstrated impact are also welcome to apply. These individuals will be considered for the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering Foundation Professorship. We are committed to the success of all our faculty, who will be supported by generous start-up funds as well as individualized mentoring.

About These Positions

Our focus for these multiple open-rank positions includes the following areas:

Areas of greatest need to support and lead our new efforts in

• Cyberphysical and embedded systems, IoT, smart and connected systems and devices
• Cybersecurity and hardware security

Areas of significant growth to support our existing strength and expertise and establish and/or expand centers of excellence in

• Energy and power systems, including but not limited to power electronics, energy storage and battery systems, renewable and alternative energy systems, micro/smart grid and their integration with other cyber-physical systems,
• Emerging and fundamental AI and machine learning and their integration with autonomous systems, modern control systems, robotics, biotechnology, and medicine, among others.
• Virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, advanced visualization and their scientific and industrial applications

Areas in which we would like to establish new areas of expertise, such as

• Electromagnetics, antenna design, smart antenna/MIMO systems for wireless communication
• Systems architecture with software/hardware integration for communication, networking, software-defined radio
• Analog and digital VLSI / chip design, solid-state systems, modern semiconductor systems and processes

 

Candidates with cross-cutting research interests that cover overlapping areas of the listed topics are particularly encouraged to apply. 

Candidates must have an earned doctorate in Electrical and/or Computer Engineering, or in a closely related field; a proven record (for Associate and Full Professor positions), or outstanding potential (for Assistant Professor positions) for developing sustainable, externally funded research programs, and a strong commitment to excellence in both research and teaching.

Ideal candidates are those who also embrace interdisciplinary collaboration, work well in multidisciplinary student and faculty teams, support diversity, equity, and inclusion, and have excellent communication skills.

Successful candidates will:

• Seek and obtain external funding to establish and sustain research programs that enhance the department’s research infrastructure and expand our Ph.D. program,
• Conduct high-quality research and publish their results in highly regarded conferences and journals,
• Supervise student research and entrepreneurial efforts in Rowan’s hallmark Engineering Clinic sequence,
• Teach core and elective ECE courses and develop new courses of interest in emerging areas,
• Mentor and advise undergraduate and graduate students,
• Contribute to service activities that further our collective mission and vision at the department, college, and university levels.
