Position description

The University of California, Berkeley invites applications for up to seven approved tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor level.

About the Department: The EECS department is part of the College of Engineering (COE) and the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society (CDSS). It offers one of the strongest research and instructional programs in this field anywhere in the world. Our key strength is our array of cross-disciplinary, team-driven projects. The integration of EE and CS forms the core, with strong interactions that extend into many other disciplines.

About the Position: EECS is seeking applicants from all research areas with priority given to overall originality and promise versus sub-area of specialization. In addition to these broad area searches, EECS has a focused search in quantum computing theory and systems as well as a focused search in 'AI, Inequality, and Society' that is part of a cluster research initiative across multiple units to address questions related to the myriad ways in which AI may reshape individual lives, possibly exacerbating existing inequalities and creating new ones. This can include research in algorithmic fairness, AI and the economy, functioning of AI software within larger sociotechnical systems, social and behavioral impacts of AI, AI and education, generative AI and large language models.

The department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual-career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.
