Job Description:

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science at Binghamton University (The State University of New York at Binghamton) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of assistant professor to begin spring or fall 2024.

Watson College stands committed to fostering a community that reflects our diverse society to ensure that its teaching, research, scholarship, and outreach programs include and serve a wide range of individuals.

Underpinning the technical, engineering, and computer science expertise of Watson College faculty, staff, students and alumni is an understanding that diverse and inclusive groups maximize potential, innovation, and impact. We, therefore, develop structures and opportunities that improve the experience of all students, especially those who are underrepresented in engineering and computer science. Watson faculty, staff, and students assist in cultivating a community of members that are conscious of barriers to social mobility, exhibit and act on empathy and compassion, and advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), both within the college and beyond.

Together, we learn, educate, innovate, and work toward a more just and inclusive future. We embrace and cultivate our diversity and thrive because of it.

We strongly encourage potential applicants who share these goals, especially underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities to apply.

The department will consider exceptional candidates in the broad area of energy storage, including but not limited to research in battery materials, modeling, and control that increase energy density and life cycle, provide fast charging and discharging capability, improve grid-forming capability, or storage integration in future energy markets. The position is open to candidates with material science, power electronics, or power systems backgrounds.

The successful applicant will be expected to develop an externally funded research program and have a commitment to excellence in teaching at the BS, MS, and PhD levels.

Requirements:

• Must have earned Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field by spring or fall 2024


• Must have strong communication skills


• Must have a strong commitment to teaching and research


• Should have a demonstrated commitment to diversity and inclusiveness.
