Four Tenure Track Assistant Professor Positions

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of South Alabama invites applications for four tenure track Assistant Professor positions for the 2008-2009 academic year (starting date: August 15, 2008). Candidates must hold an earned Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or in a closely related area. Faculty responsibilities include effective classroom teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, developing curricula and laboratories, supervising graduate students’ research, publishing refereed journal articles, and developing and maintaining an externally funded research program.

The ECE student body consists of about 250 undergraduate and 250 graduate students. The ECE faculty strives to provide the highest quality educational experience to our students. Recently, we revamped our undergraduate and graduate curricula, and invested over $400K to upgrade our instructional laboratories with state-of-the-art laboratory equipment.

The ECE faculty is pursuing an aggressive funded research program totaling over $2M. Recent sponsors of ECE research projects include the National Science Foundation, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Energy. About 35% of ECE faculty members are Fellows of their respective professional societies.

Preference will be given to candidates in the general area of Electrical and Computer Engineering with specialization in computer and network security, signal and image processing, optoelectronics, nanotechnology, fiber-optic communications, electromagnetics and power engineering. Candidates with outstanding credentials in other areas of specialization will also be considered. Interested candidates should submit a letter stating their areas of specialization, current curriculum vitae, a list of at least three references, and official transcripts of their degrees to:
