Current Faculty Positions
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Arizona invites applications for the Edward Keonjian Chair, preferably at the Associate Professor rank. Exceptional candidates with a vibrant research program and outstanding credentials will be considered for appointment as Full Professor. The Department seeks candidates in the area of "biotronics" who can contribute to major growth and investment in bio-micro/nano-electronic and nano- biological applications in medicine, diagnostics/detection, imaging, and therapeutics. The ideal candidate will participate in the merger of life-sciences and engineering, bringing forth exciting and practical possibilities for revolutionary hybrid systems. Fields of expertise include design of circuits or devices imitating biological functions for robots, for example, or for interfacing electronics with biological activity with a view toward sensing or control. Strong interdisciplinary interaction with researchers from the fields of medicine, biology, and bio-engineering is anticipated.
Applicants must have an earned doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering or a related discipline. Commitment to excellence in teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels is expected. The candidates will be expected to establish a strong, externally sponsored research program and be willing to engage in existing and future large collaborative research endeavors.
Candidates are asked to apply online at http://www.uacareertrack.com, citing Job Number 39514. Applications will be reviewed starting November 1st and will continue through the 2007/2008 academic year until positions are filled. The University of Arizona is an EEO/AA Employer - M/W/D/V and is committed to the support and encouragement of a multi-cultural environment. We seek candidates who can make a positive impact and contributions to ethnic, cultural, and intellectual diversity.
