The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Riverside invites applications for two open-rank (tenure-track or tenured) faculty positions in the area of VLSI and Electronic Design Automation (EDA). Junior and senior-level candidates working in this area are encouraged to apply, particularly those who have demonstrated experience in several of the following topics: VLSI chip and SoC design with silicon implementation, low power and energy-efficient design, domain-specific ML/AI accelerators, ML/AI tools for electronic design automation, system-level design and verification technologies, physical design automation, design automation for security, reliability and emerging devices and applications.

Successful candidates will have a proven record of, or exceptional promise for, developing a vibrant externally-funded research program and developing a portfolio of high-quality teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. UC faculty are expected to maintain an active research agenda and record of publications, teach a regular course load at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and participate in service activities at the department, college, campus, and professional levels. Candidates should also demonstrate clear potential for complementing and/or synergistically leveraging existing research activities within the department, college, and campus. They will be expected to support new cross-cutting efforts relevant to their expertise.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science or a closely related field by the time of appointment, which is expected to begin on July 1, 2024. Salary will be commensurate with education and experience.

Advancement through the faculty ranks at the University of California is through a series of structured, merit-based evaluations, occurring every 2-3 years, each of which includes substantial peer input.

To apply for the position, interested individuals must submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, three letters of reference or contact information for three references, a Statement of Research, a Statement of Teaching, and a Contribution to Diversity Statement to the AP Recruit website.
Applications for biomedical/computational imaging positions may be submitted using the link found on the AP Recruit website: https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF01811. Review of applications will begin December 31, 2023, and will continue until the positions are filled.
