Description

The Min H. Kao Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) is seeking candidates for two tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant professor level in electrical engineering with expertise in areas including high-frequency power electronics and magnetics, analog/mixed-signal/RF circuits, low power and energy efficient circuits, and electronics packaging (particularly on wide-bandgap/ultra-widebandgap semiconductors). Strong candidates in electrical engineering in areas not explicitly listed will also be considered.  The anticipated appointment start date is August 1, 2027.

A detailed description of each position, application deadlines, and directions for applying via Interfolio can be found on the Faculty Openings section of the EECS Employment Opportunities web page - https://eecs.utk.edu/resources/employment-opportunities/.  For questions, please email the Search Committee Chair, Dr. JiangBiao He at jiangbiao.he@utk.edu.

UTK is the state’s flagship campus and leading research institution with a strong partnership with nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), where many UTK faculty have ongoing joint positions and/or joint research projects. 

EECS at UTK has 50 full-time T/TT faculty members, three members of the National Academy of Engineering Fellows, 15 IEEE Fellows, 15 NSF/DOE CAREER awardees, and 19 ranked in World’s Top 2% Scientists as compiled by Stanford. The department has a growing enrollment of more than 1000 undergraduate and more than 450 graduate students across the three majors of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Computer Science. In addition, the department offers undergraduate minors in computer science, cybersecurity, datacenter technology and management, and machine learning. Successful faculty candidates will be expected to contribute to the continued growth and excellence of EECS.
