Open Positions
Current ECE Department Faculty Openings
Tenure-Track Assistant Professor, Optics and Photonics
The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) at Boston University (BU) is searching for a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the area of Optics and Photonics with impact in disciplines such as metasurface flat optics, quantum photonics, optoelectronic and fiber-based devices, and integrated micro- and nanophotonics. BU has a strong and growing footprint in these areas. Candidates with research programs that transcend the traditional boundaries of ECE are welcome to explore affiliated appointments in appropriate units, such as Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering.
We encourage candidates to apply early. Applications received by December 8, 2024 will be given full consideration.
AI Cluster Hiring Initiative
Tenure-Track Positions Available in ECE
Boston University (BU) invites applications for at least seven tenure-track faculty positions, and a number of possible non-tenure track positions, as part of a multiyear cluster hiring initiative in Artificial Intelligence (AI). This university-wide initiative, led by the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences (CDS) in partnership with five schools and colleges at BU aims to recruit a cadre of scholars working on foundational, methodological, and use-inspired dimensions of AI to be appointed in academic units spanning a broad collection of disciplines. Successful candidates recruited through this initiative will have the opportunity to benefit from programs and polled resources that the University will make available through CDS.
The department of Electrical and Computer Engineering invites candidates whose work interfaces with AI in areas including, but not limited to, computer vision, optimization, signal processing, autonomous systems and robotics, reinforcement learning, digital health, and applications in social networks, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and photonics.
We encourage candidates to apply early. Applications received by November 1, 2024 will be given full consideration. Review will continue on a rolling basis until April 15, 2025.
