Faculty Position in Electrical and Computer Engineering for Sustainable Energy
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Tufts University seeks a junior tenure-track faculty member at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor. However, exceptional senior candidates will be considered for appointment at the rank of Full Professor. Candidates should have a demonstrated interest in teaching and research related to sustainable energy, including photovoltaics, energy storage systems, power conversion, and energy efficiency; strong candidates in other energy-related areas may be considered as well. This position is one of three openings that expand Tufts School of Engineering's emphasis on Environmental Sustainability through energy research. In addition to ECE, the departments of Mechanical Engineering and Chemical & Biological Engineering are also hiring in this field.
Tufts School of Engineering distinguishes itself by the interdisciplinary focus and integrative nature of its engineering education within the intellectually rich environment of a "Research Class 1" University and a top ranking undergraduate institution. Located only six miles from historic downtown Boston, faculty members on the Tufts Medford/Somerville campus have extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaboration as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the area. With this search, the School of Engineering is continuing to build strength around three cross-disciplinary focal themes -- Environmental Sustainability, Bioengineering, and Engineering Education Innovation.
Candidates should possess an earned doctorate in Electrical Engineering or
a closely related discipline. The applicant should clearly describe a
research and teaching strategy that addresses a collaborative approach to
sustainable energy. Candidates may submit a letter of application,
research and educational plans, curriculum vitae, and the names and contact
