Portland State University Looking for ECE Assistant Professor – Power or Computer Engineering Full Time

The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) at Portland State University seeks outstanding candidates for one or
several tenure-track faculty positions at the level of Assistant Professor, with research and teaching interests in two areas: (1) electric
power systems or (2) computer engineering. 

The position will work closely with other members of the ECE Department and Maseeh
College interdisciplinary research focused on areas of either electric power systems or computer engineering. These include (1)
cyber-physical power systems, power system data science, power systems cybersecurity, or power systems protection, or (2) beyond-Moore
computing architectures, nanoscale computing architectures, neuromorphic engineering, biomolecular computing, future and emerging computing
paradigms and architectures, design automation, or design verification and validation. Other power or computer engineering areas will also
be considered.

The position will build a research and teaching program through actions that contribute to the Department’s aims
to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion within the ECE Department. It will develop and maintain scholarly funded research; develop
coursework relevant to the research field; teach undergraduate and graduate courses; advise students; and provide service to the university,
professional societies, and the public.

The position will initiate a research program that can be sponsored by external funding
agencies. This program should expand, complement, and collaborate with the existing research activities in the ECE Department and/or build
connections within the broader community. Research should also align with the strategic vision of the Maseeh College of Engineering and
Computer Science and/or the strategic vision of the ECE Department.

The ECE Department, building on existing strengths, is expanding
its research and teaching in both computer and power engineering. Our faculty have excellent teaching skills and constructively engage with
the regional power and semiconductor industries. Emphasis is placed on research originality, future potential, ability to collaborate, and
research agendas that are regionally relevant and complement our existing research programs.

The anticipated start date for this
position is September 16, 2024, but earlier or later dates can be negotiated. While the target of hiring is at the assistant professor
level, outstanding applicants may be considered at the associate or professor rank.
