Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track) Position in Microelectronics

Microelectronics has evolved from its mid‐20th‐century origins to become the backbone of modern technology, driving the development of integrated circuits, nanoscale devices, and microprocessors that power our digital age. The synergy between microelectronics and other transformative technologies like AI, biotechnology, and renewable energy is reshaping interdisciplinary research, offering solutions to complex challenges and expanding the horizons of scientific knowledge.

The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine, invites applications for a position as Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) in the broad area of microelectronics. Desired areas of expertise range across all related topics including, but not limited to: systems‐on‐chip, systems‐on‐chiplets, 3D and heterogeneous integration, hardware security, mixed signal design, neuromorphic systems, novel semiconductor technologies, packaging and interconnect technologies, energy‐efficient computing and domain‐specific accelerators, design automation tools and methods, and semiconductor and system security.

At the time of hire, applicants are expected to have a doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field from an accredited university. Successful candidates will be innovative leaders that can develop a vigorous externally funded research program, maintain a strong publication record, advise students, and provide outstanding teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. We seek faculty who are committed to diversity as well as diverse faculty who will be role models for our students.
