The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta is seeking applications for a full-time tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor position in power systems engineering.
Applications are invited from candidates with research expertise in power systems, including power system protection, stability, and power quality aspects for hybrid AC/DC grids with HVDC (High-Voltage Direct Current) and DER (Distributed Energy Resources) integrations.
The successful candidate will join a team of faculty members committed to an exceptional student experience. The Department has over 1000 undergraduate students across the electrical and computer programs, which grew in 2025 with the new Mechatronics and Robotics program. There are opportunities to engage with students in and out of the classroom through research laboratories, capstone projects, and student clubs and teams, such as Mission Space Walker, UAlberta Solar Car, and the IEEE Student Branch. The Department’s graduate program attracts students from schools worldwide who are dedicated to developing in their area of expertise and presently has an enrollment of 400 students, including approximately 200 Ph.D. students. Through hands-on experiences in world-class labs and instruction from highly accomplished faculty members, we help students develop the skills they need to dream of and invent the technology of the future.
