The Min Kao Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville is seeking candidates for tenure-track faculty positions in two fields: 1) with background in Electrical Engineering, including device physics, RF/millimeter wave devices or bio-electronics, and 2) with background in Computer Engineering, including embedded systems, computational science, and next-generation networking and architecture. The Department currently enrolls approximately 400 undergraduate and about 250 graduate students. Faculty research expenditures currently average about $10 M per year. The department is starting a new growth phase thanks to gifts from alumnus Dr. Min Kao and other donors plus additional state funding totaling over $47.5 M for a new building and endowments for the department. The University of Tennessee and Battelle manage the nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which provides further opportunities for research. Information about the EECS Department can be found at http://www.eecs.utk.edu/.

Candidates should have an earned Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent. Candidates should have outstanding potential for establishing an independent research and teaching program in their field and should be capable of working with other faculty to further strengthen our existing research. Interested candidates should apply through the departmental web site at http://www.eecs.utk.edu/jobs/faculty and submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a research and teaching statement, and provide contact information for three references. Consideration of applications will begin on January 15, 2010 and the position will remain open until filled.
