Assistant Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering (Multiple Positions)

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Arizona (UA) invites candidates to apply for multiple faculty positions across all areas of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) for a start date of Fall 2025. The ECE Department has a comprehensive BS program, a combined 5-year BS-MS program, as well as MS and PhD programs. The ECE Department is ranked in the top 20 percent of public universities in the nation and is in a rapid expansion phase. As a key driver for this expansion in 2023, a new CSE program was launched and the department is engaged in an ambitious, multi-year hiring effort spanning 5 years.

The ECE Department seeks to attract, develop, and retain excellent faculty members with outstanding research credentials and future promise. The department is especially interested in candidates who will contribute to the growth of the CSE program, diversity and excellence of the University's academic community through their research, teaching, and service. We are particularly seeking faculty passionate about working with students and training the next generation of researchers.

• Programming languages, compilers and runtime systems: Areas of interest include, software for AI/ML systems and next-generation hardware, parallel programming models for heterogenous systems, and reliability and robustness of software.
• Foundations of Intelligent Systems: Areas of interest include machine learning, AI, natural language processing, computer vision, algorithms and complexity, theory, robotics, intelligent decision making, data science, optimization, fairness, trustworthiness, and applications to engineering and scientific disciplines.
• Computing Systems: Areas of interest include all layers of the systems and the architecture stack, IoT/edge computing systems, embedded systems, heterogeneous computing systems as well as emerging areas such as AI accelerators, hardware-software codesign.
