Announcement
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Northwestern University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position to start fall 2013. Although our search will concentrate on the Assistant Professor level, exceptional candidates at the Associate Professor level will also be considered. The focus of our search is in VLSI, broadly construed, and we especially seek individuals who span analysis, design, and implementation at the VLSI scale and above. Specific areas of interest include low-power/energy-aware circuits, adaptive and robust circuits and systems, novel on-chip communication substrates, circuits for emerging technologies, circuits for energy harvesting and delivery, mixed analog/digital circuits, and methodologies for application-specific designs.A Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field is required, as is a clear track record of success in the area. Successful candidates will be expected to carry out world class-research, collaborate with other faculty, and teach effectively at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Compensation and start-up packages are negotiable and will be competitive.
