University of Virginia
Open rank tenure-ineligible faculty in Electrical and Computer Engineering
University of Virginia, Virginia, Minnesota, United States, 55792
Position Description:
The School of Engineering & Applied Science (SEAS) at the University of Virginia (UVa) seeks candidates for a
tenure-ineligible research assistant professor
position in the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering . The primary responsibilities include research, scholarship, and service to the department, university, and professional community. The compensation will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. The successful candidate will support their program through external funding, collaborative work with UVA colleagues and beyond, and expanding their research portfolio. This position is contingent upon the availability of funds. Millimeter and Submillimeter Wave Superconducting and Semiconductor Position The candidate should have expertise in microfabrication (including thin film deposition and characterization), cryogenics, and submillimeter-wave device/circuit modeling, metrology, and characterization. Experience with superconducting insulating superconducting (SIS) junctions, Traveling-Wave Kinetic Inductance Parametric amplifiers, and Schottky barrier diodes is desired. The successful candidate is expected to establish an innovative research program building on UVA's strengths in superconducting devices and materials and terahertz technology. This includes collaborating with faculty and scientists at UVA and beyond, generating proposals, promoting scholarship, engaging in service, and mentoring students. The candidate should also engage with ongoing projects at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and the National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC). The department offers state-of-the-art facilities such as the Innovations in Fabrication (IFAB) facility, Far Infrared and Terahertz Laboratory (FIRTL), and Nanoscale Materials Characterization Facility (NMCF), which support this research. The successful candidate is expected to utilize and support these laboratories to grow their research efforts. The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department at UVA provides a vibrant environment for interdisciplinary research, with strengths in machine learning, imaging, cyber-physical systems, embedded systems, communication networks, and sensor systems. Faculty benefit from cutting-edge facilities and are encouraged to engage in research addressing societal challenges. Charlottesville offers a thriving intellectual and cultural community, with easy access to recreational venues and travel options to Richmond, Washington D.C., and Research Triangle Park. For more information about UVA and Charlottesville, see

Qualifications: Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, with postdoctoral experience or equivalent, and a strong record of innovative research and funded projects. Demonstrated aptitude and commitment to mentoring at the graduate level are also required. Application Instructions: Apply for this position via
Interfolio . Please submit the following in PDF format: Cover letter summarizing research areas, scholarship, and potential collaborations at UVA Curriculum vitae A statement describing current research and future directions (no more than two pages) A single file including two research papers that best represent your work You will also need to provide 3-5 references directly in Interfolio by entering their names and contact information at the time of application. Reference requests will be sent immediately after submission. Review of applications begins on June 9, 2025, and continues until the position is filled. The university will conduct background checks on all new faculty hires prior to finalizing offers. For questions, contact Scott Acton, Professor and Chair, Electrical and Computer Engineering, at
