Multiple Faculty Positions in Electrical Engineering
The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University is seeking applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions in 1) integrated electronics and 2) power and energy systems, with an emphasis on AI-related connections. These positions are part of a broader university initiative to advance world-class, interdisciplinary research and education, supporting the university’s strategic vision.
The initiative includes over $200 million in public and private investments in facilities, equipment, faculty hiring, and programs including the Jen-Hsun Huang and Lori Mills Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex, set to open in 2026. This complex will support Oregon State’s mission to deliver transformative solutions for humanity, the environment, and the economy. It will feature one of the nation’s most powerful supercomputers, a state-of-the-art clean room, and specialized research facilities for collaborative, team-based research. Engineering faculty will work alongside world-renowned experts in ocean, earth, and climate science to tackle grand challenges in climate science, sustainability, and water resources, ultimately improving human life.
The appointments will be at the rank of assistant professor, but exceptionally qualified candidates may be considered for associate or full professorship. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree in electrical and computer engineering or a closely related discipline by the expected start date of fall 2025.
Successful applicants will demonstrate capability for building a robust research program that complements existing expertise in the School of EECS and enhances the scope for collaborative and multidisciplinary projects with the Collaborative Robotics and Intelligent Systems Institute; the College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences; the Hatfield Marine Science Center; and the Oregon Health and Science University, among other organizations. Successful applicants will also demonstrate a passion for and excellence in teaching and mentoring, with a strong commitment to promoting inclusion and equity for learners from diverse groups. The applicants are expected to be able to teach undergraduate and graduate-level courses in electrical and computer engineering in different modalities as required.
The School of EECS has 110 faculty members (70 are tenured or on the tenure track) and more than 5,000 undergraduate and 550 graduate students. Numerous national awards attests to the scholarly accomplishments and distinction of the faculty: two inductees in the National Academy of Engineering, 23 professional society fellows, and 30 winners of prestigious early career investigator awards. Students and faculty have access to a wide range of shared-use equipment for IC prototype characterization and testing in the Analog & Mixed Signals and Systems Lab, as well as high-power testing in the Wallace Energy Systems & Renewables Facility. The upcoming CIC, featuring one of the nation’s most powerful supercomputers, a cutting-edge clean room, and other advanced research facilities, will further enhance team-based research. These resources foster innovation and entrepreneurship while increasing collaboration opportunities with industry partners in Oregon’s Silicon Forest and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Applications may be submitted online with the following six documents: (1) letter of interest; (2) vita; (3) two-page statement of research interests; (4) one-page statement of teaching interests; (5) one-page statement on the candidate’s experiences with and plans to support equity and inclusion; and (6) names and contact information for at least three references. For full consideration, complete applications must be received by December 31, 2024. The posting will remain open until March 30, 2025, or until all positions are filled.
