This position is part of the Association of the Academic Staff of the University of Alberta (AASUA).
The successful candidate will be offered a tenured or tenure-track appointment with the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, which is in accordance with the Academic Faculty Agreement, and offers a comprehensive benefits package.
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 integrated circuits engineering.
Applications are invited from candidates with research expertise in integrated circuits, including but not limited to the following areas:
Energy-efficient mixed-signal and RFIC design,
Sub-THz and mm-wave circuits and systems for high-speed wireless/wireline communication links (5G/6G and beyond, 100–400 Gbps links),
Integrated circuits, including neuromorphic chips, for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and edge computing,
Ultra-low-power circuits for IoT applications,
Circuits for biomedical, wireless power, and sensing applications,
Interface circuits for quantum computers,
Hardware security and trusted IC design, and
System-in-Package (SiP) and advanced IC packaging technologies.
The successful candidate will join a team of faculty members committed to an exceptional student experience. The Department has over 1,000 undergraduate students across the electrical and computer programs, which grew in 2025 with the new Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering program. There are opportunities to engage with students in and out of the classroom in research laboratories, capstone projects, and student clubs and teams, like Mission Space Walker, UAlberta Solar Car, and the IEEE Student Branch. The Department’s graduate program attracts students who are dedicated to developing in their area of expertise from schools worldwide and presently has an enrollment of 400 students, including approximately 200 Ph.D. students. Through hands-on experiences in state-of-the-art labs and instruction from skilled faculty, we help students develop the skills they need to dream of and invent the technology of the future.
