We are interested in candidates with a background in Electrical & Computer Engineering, particularly in areas such as Electromagnetic Fields, Computer Engineering, Electronics, or Capstone design projects. Other areas of Electrical and Computer Engineering will also be considered, particularly if they complement the department's existing strengths.

The ECE Department currently has ~32 faculty members, around 100 graduate students, and over 500 undergraduate students, with annual research expenditures exceeding $20 million. Currently, the department offers Electrical Engineering BS, MS, and PhD degree programs, and Computer Engineering BS degree programs. The ECE Department is applying to add Computer Engineering MS and PhD degree programs. The Department has outstanding research facilities housed within the Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) and the college building in the areas of electrical and computer engineering. Potential applicants seeking more information are encouraged to visit our websites at https://www.eng.famu.fsu.edu/ece and https://caps.fsu.edu/.

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering serves as the nexus of two major public universities, each with a distinct mission yet focused on delivering world-class engineering education and research. Created by the Florida Legislature in 1982, the joint institution is the College of Engineering for both Florida A&M and Florida State universities. This unique combination of focus, resources, and mission from our parent institutions has created on our campus a truly innovative atmosphere that leverages the benefits of the traditional HBCU model with the innovations of an R-1 public research university. After completing the pre-requisites at their home institution, FAMU and FSU students learn, study, and research together at our independent campus with jointly appointed faculty and staff. Students graduate from their enrolling university and from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Both FAMU and FSU are part of the State University System of Florida and are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. Additionally, all seven of the college’s eligible undergraduate degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (https://www.abet.org).

Candidates must possess an earned Ph.D. in Electrical or Computer Engineering or a closely related discipline, demonstrate the ability to teach large classes, and have a strong interest in using technology in engineering education. The successful candidate is expected to have a strong commitment to teaching excellence in undergraduate and graduate courses and participate in college and professional service.
