The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign invites applications for
open-rank full-time faculty positions. Qualified candidates will be
considered at all levels and in all areas of electrical and computer
engineering, broadly defined, including the areas of Semiconductor
Devices, RF/Microwave Technology, Electromagnetics and Sensing Systems,
Power and Energy Systems, Quantum Information Science, Bioinformatics
and Bioimaging, Integrated Circuits and Systems, AI and Autonomous
Systems, Robotics, Signal Processing and Data Science, Control,
Optimization, and Decision Science, Embedded Computing Systems and the
Internet of Things, Data-Centric Computer Systems and Storage, Networked
and Distributed Computing Systems, and Reliable and Secure Computing
Systems. Applications are also encouraged from candidates whose degrees
and research programs are in cross-cutting interdisciplinary areas of
electrical and computer engineering.
Candidates interested in being considered for any of three campus-wide
strategic hiring initiatives in which the ECE Department is
participating can indicate that in their applications. These three
positions are in the following fields: Neuro-Informatics: Big Data
Computational Systems Neuroscience (
https://publish.illinois.edu/neuro-cluster/ ); Ethical, Legal, and
Social Implications of Digital Transformation (

for Brain Health and Precision Medicine (
https://mricluster7t.web.illinois.edu ).
Applicants for all positions must have an earned Ph.D. or equivalent
degree, excellent academic credentials, and an outstanding ability to
teach effectively at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
Successful candidates will be expected to initiate and carry out
independent research and perform academic duties associated with our
B.S., M.Eng., M.S., and Ph.D. programs.
Senior and mid-career faculty are encouraged to apply. Qualified senior
candidates will be considered for tenured Associate and Professor
positions. Women and members of underrepresented groups in STEM are

Woese Institute for Genomic Biology, as well as several industrial
centers and programs that foster international collaborations. ECE also
supports and encourages faculty involvement with the nation\'s first
engineering-based Carle Illinois College of Medicine, which has opened
on campus to facilitate the transition from engineering breakthroughs
into translational medical practices.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. The
typical salary range is as follows: \$120,000 to \$145,000 at the
