The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (engineering.tufts.edu/ece) at Tufts University (www.tufts.edu/) seeks candidates for a Full-time Assistant Teaching Professor position in the area of Computer Engineering.
We seek applicants with expertise in computer engineering with expertise in topics including, but not limited, to embedded and real-time systems, robotics, parallel and heterogeneous computing, computer architecture, computer networks, security, and MPSoC design. The department is interested in building its offerings of advanced courses for undergraduate seniors and MS students. Thus, a strong command of core undergraduate material, especially embedded systems, circuits, and digital logic, as well as expertise in at least one specialized area of computer engineering is necessary. Principal responsibilities will include graduate and undergraduate instruction and mentorship, and University and professional service. Teaching faculty have long term multi-year contracts and are full voting members of the department with influence on curriculum development. A typical teaching load is five courses per academic year, with a mix of core undergraduate courses and advanced courses for upper-level undergraduates or grad students. At Tufts teaching is well supported with undergraduate teaching labs and teaching assistants.
Tufts' School of Engineering (SOE) distinguishes itself by the interdisciplinary focus and integrative nature of its engineering education and research programs, within the intellectually rich environment of both a "Research I" university and a top-ranked undergraduate institution. The past ten years have been a period of extraordinary growth for SOE at Tufts, with recruitment of over half of its current tenured and tenure-track faculty members and a more than three-fold increase in research productivity. Tufts offers the best of a liberal arts college atmosphere, coupled with the intellectual and technological resources of a major research university. Home to seven graduate and professional schools across three campuses, Tufts University prides itself on its culture of cross-school partnerships. Located on Tufts' Medford/Somerville campus, only six miles from historic downtown Boston, SOE faculty members have extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaboration, as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the region.
