Tenure Track Faculty Appointments at all Levels
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Duke University - Pratt School of Engineering

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University invites applications for tenure-track faculty appointments at all levels. For 2013, the Department is actively seeking applications in the area of information theory and the area of optical systems/computational imaging.   

Academic and research programs in data analytics, photonics, microfluidics, computer architecture, computational imaging and image analysis, quantum and molecular computing, machine learning, and compressed sensing have grown dramatically in the ECE Department. Building on Duke's strengths in life sciences and environmental science, the Department's programs are strongly cross disciplinary and involve close collaboration with other departments in the Pratt School of Engineering as well as the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, the Nicholas School of the Environment, and the School of Medicine. The ECE Department seeks highly qualified candidates with research and education synergy with existing and emerging areas of excellence, with particular interest in candidates with a demonstrated record of interdisciplinary activity.  

Applicants should have an earned Ph.D., evidence of the ability to pursue an independent program of research, a strong commitment to both graduate and undergraduate instruction, and the ability to initiate and conduct research across disciplines.  The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels and to build and lead a team of graduate students in Ph.D. research. Applications received by 15 January 2013 will receive full consideration.   

Duke University is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty.  It welcomes applications from women and members of minority groups as well as others who would bring additional dimensions to the university’s research and teaching missions.  

Applications for candidates in information theory must be submitted at

Energy and Environment Initiative

1 Tenure Track Professor position, 2 Professor of the Practice Positions
The Pratt School of Engineering is launching a research and education initiative focused on energy and the environment. The school is immediately hiring three endowed faculty lines to support its Energy and Environment Initiative effort, and to augment existing faculty. The successful candidates for these positions will be appointed to one of our four engineering departments-- biomedical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, electrical and computer engineering, or mechanical engineering and materials science--depending upon research and teaching interests. Joint and secondary appointments within the Pratt School, and with other schools or departments at Duke are encouraged. The initiative will encompass both research and education, particularly at the undergraduate level—and will be highly interdisciplinary, bringing expertise from many disciplines to bear on energy and environmental problems.
