The Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Virginia Tech seeks applications for a full-time, academic year, non-tenure-track Collegiate Faculty who will primarily contribute to the ECE undergraduate program’s teaching mission. We are seeking candidates motivated to contribute to a collegial and inclusive department with a strong tradition of excellence in teaching and research.
This Collegiate Faculty position will be at the assistant collegiate professor, associate collegiate professor, or full collegiate professor level with a 3, 5, or 7-year renewable contract, respectively with a competitive salary. Collegiate Faculty at Virginia Tech have the primary job expectation of supporting the teaching mission of the university by teaching courses, mentoring students, and actively contribute to the overall development and assessment of academic programs - at both the undergraduate and graduate levels (80% of workload). Secondarily, Collegiate faculty are expected to engage in and conduct research on the scholarship of teaching and learning related to their field and/or on disciplinary topics in their field and present their findings in professional venues, but there are no expectations for an extensive research program as is typical of tenure-track faculty appointments (10% of workload). Collegiate faculty are expected to participate in department, college, and university service, and committee work, and other duties as assigned (10% of workload). Applicants with expertise in all areas of electrical and computer engineering will be considered. Candidates who have a background in teaching and developing courses in engineering problem solving and design are preferred. Individuals with relevant industry experience are encouraged to apply. This position is based in Blacksburg, Virginia.
The Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers B.S., M.Eng., M.S., and Ph.D. degree programs in both Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering with a current enrollment of approximately 1,100 undergraduate and 650 graduate students. The department has 76 full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty members and 20 non-tenure-track faculty located in two primary locations, which are the Blacksburg Campus and the Greater Washington, DC area including the new VT Innovation Campus in Alexandria, Virginia. Annual research expenditures exceed $56M. Recognition of faculty accomplishments includes 4 members of the National Academy of Engineering, 30 Fellows of the IEEE, and various fellows of other professional societies, 27 current and prior NSF CAREER awardees, and 4 DoD Young Investigators. The latest Global Universities ranking by U.S. News & World Report (USN&WR) places our department at #2 nationally in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering category. The department has some of the nation’s best programs in the areas of fiber optics and photonics, space science and remote sensing, wireless communications and networking, power electronics, power systems, autonomous systems, embedded systems, and computational biology. The Department is the beneficiary of the Bradley Endowment valued more than $20 million.
