Faculty Positions
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) invites applications for faculty positions at all levels and in all areas of electrical and computer engineering, but particularly in the areas of control and communications, circuits, energy and power systems, nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, and computing. Applications are encouraged from candidates whose research programs are in traditional as well as nontraditional and interdisciplinary areas of electrical and computer engineering.

Such faculty positions are also aligned with the new multi-year Strategic Excellence hiring program at Illinois that focuses on four areas, with the one relevant to ECE being Energy and Sustainability.
Faculty in the department carry out research in a broad spectrum of areas and are supported by world-class facilities and programs for international work, including the Coordinated Science Laboratory, the Information Trust Institute, the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory, the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, and several industrial centers.
