The ECE department and College of Engineering are ranked among the top programs in the United States, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. We are an extremely collaborative department with ties to several multidisciplinary institutes and centers. We collaborate with colleagues around the world through several research and educational programs. We have world-class experimental and computing infrastructure, including state-of-the-art nanofabrication facilities.

Our mission is to be a creative driving force of the highest scholarly and entrepreneurial quality that will inspire and educate engineers to solve important societal challenges. Carnegie Mellon University further seeks to meet the needs of dual-career couples and is a member of the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC) that assists with dual-career searches.

For tenure-tracks, we are seeking individuals who hold or will soon hold a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline and have demonstrated commitment to our core values: creativity, quality, innovation, and engineering solutions.

• Tenure-track faculty: We expect Tenure-track faculty to establish and grow a strong research program, contribute to our teaching mission, and demonstrate a passion for mentoring and advising students.

Teaching-track faculty serve as a core part of our strategy for our undergraduate education and mentoring mission. Teaching-track faculty are required to hold a PhD or possess equivalent professional experience.

We will consider applications fitting our needs throughout the academic year.
