The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo, invites applications for tenure-track/tenured faculty positions at the ranks of Assistant, Associate, or, in very special cases, Full Professor in the following areas:
1) Nano Electro Mechanical Systems leading to biochip and related medical applications;
2) Low dimensional quantum structures leading to potential applications at the device level;
3) Radio Frequency Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (RF-MEMS) expanding into new, RF-related areas including bio-medical and RF nano-based devices;
4) Large area electronics with expertise in thin film technologies at both material and device levels and potential expansion into bio applications.
The ECE department is home to the Giga-to-Nano Laboratory (http://ece.uwaterloo.ca/~a-sidic) and the Centre for Integrated RF Engineering (http://www.cirfe.uwaterloo.ca), both excellent fabrication and characterization facilities with state-of-the-art infrastructure. In addition to these existing facilities, the ECE department will also be an active partner of the Quantum Nano Centre (QNC), a new, $100M teaching and research infrastructure to be completed in 2010. Applicants should have earned a doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a closely related discipline. All applicants must have a strong commitment to research and teaching. Salaries are competitive and are determined according to the successful applicant's accomplishments, experience and qualifications. The department currently has more than 75 faculty members and is in the process of expanding to more than 90 faculty members, making it one of the largest ECE departments in Canada. The graduate programs of the department attract outstanding Canadian and international applicants, with an enrolment of more than 500 graduate students. The undergraduate programs in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering (offered jointly with the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science), Mechatronics Engineering (offered jointly with the Departments of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering and Systems Design Engineering), and Nanotechnology Engineering (jointly with the Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering) draw the top students from across Canada.
Researchers at the University of Waterloo benefit from close connections with the many high-technology companies in the Waterloo area and from the very generous intellectual property policy of the University, which vests the rights with the inventor. The University of Waterloo has been named the "Best Overall" university by reputation in Canada. It is located in the attractive two-university community in the Region of Waterloo (population of 450,000) in southwestern Ontario. The city of Toronto is within easy driving distance, as are the many recreational opportunities offered by the Great Lakes and Provincial Parks.
Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests, and the names of at least three references to the Faculty Search Coordinator via the online system at https://eceadmin.uwaterloo.ca/DACA. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. The University of Waterloo encourages applications from all qualified individuals, including women, members of visible minorities, native people and persons with disabilities.
