Electrical & Computer Engineering FT Faculty

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Brigham Young University announces that it has an opening for a continuing-faculty-status professorial track position. The department is seeking outstanding faculty candidates who will challenge an exceptional student body through excellent teaching, mentoring, and research, and a willingness to fully support and participate in the ideals and mission of BYU.

We are interested in candidates from all areas and sub-disciplines across electrical engineering and computer engineering.

The department has state-of-the-art facilities in computing and supercomputing, autonomous vehicles and computer vision, control systems, optics, and microelectronic fabrication. High-quality research programs exist in the department in the areas of high-performance embedded systems, autonomous vehicles and control, robotics and computer vision, high-speed low-power electronics, digital communications systems, signal processing, biomedical imagining, optics, and microfluidics. Successful candidates will be expected to strengthen undergraduate and graduate education and develop an outstanding research program to complement existing research or develop new research areas.

BYU students come from all 50 states in the U.S. and the National Survey of Student Engagement placed BYU in the 93rd percentile for level of academic challenge, 91st percentile in fostering active and collaborative learning, and 99th percentile in providing a supportive campus environment. The ACT score of the average entering freshman is above the 90th percentile nationally. BYU is also fifth on the list of U.S. baccalaureate-origin institutions for engineering doctorate recipients. Our students have an exceptional amount of experience in leadership and global settings (the vast majority of graduating seniors speak a second language and/or have lived in a foreign country for over a year), making them well poised to become global leaders. We expect our faculty to challenge these outstanding students to reach their potential.
