Joint Institute of Engineering/Joint International Research Institute Faculty Positions

Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) are establishing the Joint Institute of Engineering (JI) and the Joint International Research Institute in Guangdong, China (JIRIG). These two universities are embarking on an exciting opportunity to transform and lead engineering education in China by introducing new models of education, research and development, and commercialization of technologies. JI and JIRIG will provide world-class education initially at the graduate, then undergraduate level, and embark on cutting-edge research and development in China's leading economic region, the Pearl-River Delta of southern China, which provides tremendous and rapidly growing opportunities for future technology innovation.

JI & JIRIG are seeking outstanding full-time faculty, who have an interest in pursuing innovative, interdisciplinary educational programs and in leading research efforts in the areas of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Initial areas of emphasis include semiconductor and nanodevices, IC design, networking, embedded systems, information storage and storage systems, renewable energy and smart grids, wireless/optical communication, bio-medical engineering, and prognostics. Candidates should possess a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering or related disciplines, with a demonstrated record and potential for research, teaching and leadership.

The position includes an initial year on the Pittsburgh campus of Carnegie Mellon University to establish educational and research collaborations before locating to Guangzhou, China.

This is a worldwide search open to qualified candidates from all countries and of all nationalities, with an internationally competitive compensation package for all qualified candidates.

Applications should include a full CV, 3-5 professional references, a statement of research and teaching interests (less than 2 pages each), and copies of up to 5 research papers (journal and conference papers). Please submit the letters of reference and all above materials to the address below. Application review will continue until all positions are filled.

ECE Tenure Track Faculty Position

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon has tenure track faculty openings.

Exceptional candidates in all areas of Electrical and Computer Engineering will be given serious consideration, but especially those in applied physics, nanotechnology, signal and image processing, controls and energy systems.

The College of Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering are both ranked among the top programs in the United States both at the undergraduate and graduate level. The faculty has strong ties with many multidisciplinary centers and institutes such as the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems (graduated NSF ERC), Software Engineering Institute, Human Computer Interaction Institute, The Robotics Institute, and the Information Networking Institute. The department is home to several multidisciplinary centers and laboratories such as the Data Storage Systems Center (Graduated NSF ERC), Center for Silicon System Implementation, Microelectromechanical Systems Laboratory, SRC Smart Grid Research Center, the Parallel Data Laboratory, and the Computer Architecture Lab at Carnegie Mellon. Faculty members in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering also have ties and collaborations with colleagues around the world through a number of formal research and educational programs. The department has extensive experimental and computing infrastructure. The department currently maintains state of the art nanofabrication facilities and will be significantly expanding these in both capability and scale within the next few years.

A moderate teaching load allows time for quality research and close involvement with students and other faculty. We expect candidates for a tenure track position to have a strong commitment both to research and to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The department is primarily seeking individuals for faculty positions at the Assistant Professor rank; however, under unusual circumstances and commensurate with the qualifications of the individuals, appointments may be made at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor. Applicants must have earned a doctorate in a related area by the date of appointment. Applications should include a comprehensive resume, a list of three to five professional references, a statement of research and teaching interests (less than 2 pages each), and copies of two research papers (journal or conference papers). The applicant is responsible for soliciting the reference letters to be sent directly to the address below.

How to apply

All application materials including letters of reference may be sent electronically to ed@ece.cmu.edu or to:

T.E. (Ed) Schlesinger
Department Head and Schramm Professor

Research track faculty members are not required to teach and may therefore focus exclusively on developing their leadership within their area of research, developing research collaborations and supervising PhD students. Occasionally, research track faculty members may teach if they and the department feel this would advance their programs.
