Electrical & Computer Engineering
We live in a world dominated by electronic devices that impact all aspects of human endeavor--from communications and computers to defense and medical technologies. With innovations that progress from concept to production in a matter of months, or even weeks, electrical and computer engineering is arguably the fastest growing and broadest of all technical fields. With a history that dates back more than 100 years and a record of faculty research accomplishments that began before the turn of the 20th century, WPI's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is known for its innovative approaches to undergraduate electrical engineering education. Its programs produce tomorrow's leaders of this dynamic, complex and competitive field.
Whether you're interested in information technology, computer design, personal and wireless communications, robotics, imaging technologies, electric power generation or transmission, or mechanical/electrical interfaces, WPI's integrated, flexible, project-based ECE curriculum will provide you with the education and the skills you need to succeed in your career or in graduate school.
Learn more about our programs through the links on this page, as well as the WPI admissions web page for ECE.

Position Title: Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Department: Electrical & Computer Engineering
Location: Atwater Kent
Grade: Not Applicable
Position Status: Faculty/Research Positions
Position Description:
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) invites applications for tenure track faculty with interests at the interface between the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and the Robotics Engineering (RBE) Program, a collaborative venture also supported by the Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering Departments. The successful candidate will be expected to join ECE in the fall of 2010. Please refer to our web sites at http://www.ece.wpi.edu/ and http://robotics.wpi.edu/ for more information about ECE and RBE.
Applicants should have a solid background in both fundamental and advanced topics relevant to ECE with application to our RBE curriculum and should also have demonstrated abilities in high quality teaching and peer reviewed research. Desirable backgrounds include controls and optimization, power electronics and energy systems, embedded systems, sensors and effectors, and other areas at the interface between ECE and RBE. Earned degrees in ECE/EE/CE are expected. In addition to excellence in teaching and research, candidates should look forward to engaging undergraduate and graduate students in a classroom and projects intensive environment, and should have an interest in participating in other aspects of the WPI education plan such as our global program.
WPI, founded in 1865, is one of the nation's oldest technological universities and is consistently ranked among the top national universities in U.S. News & World Report. WPI is a highly selective private university with an undergraduate student body of over 3,200 and 1,100 full-time and part-time graduate students enrolled in more than 50 Bachelor's, Master's, and Ph.D. programs. Its innovative project-enriched curriculum engages students and faculty in real-world problem solving, often at one of WPI's global project centers. WPI is approximately one hour from both Boston and Providence; cultural and recreational resources abound in the region. The UMass Medical Center and a large number of technology companies, colleges, and universities in the immediate area make the location ideal for dual career families.
Applications and questions should be submitted using the WPI Human Resources on-line application system available on the HR web site. Questions only should be directed to emmerton@ece.wpi.edu. Applications should include i) a detailed teaching and research statement, ii) a vitae, iii) the names and addresses of at least three professional references, and iv) a selection of peer reviewed publications. Applications should be received no later than 01/10/2010.
Requirements:
Advanced degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering (see advertisement)
Closing Date: Open Until Filled
Special Instructions to Applicants: copies of 2-3 peer reviewed publications
