The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) at Louisiana State University, in partnership with the LSU Center for Computation & Technology (CCT), seeks outstanding candidates for multiple tenure-track positions at all levels. Of particular interest are highly qualified candidates with a history of interdisciplinary research. We are especially interested in candidates with research in:
The positions advertised here are designed for the department's interdisciplinary research with other research groups on campus and elsewhere. The ECE department has added several new faculty and expects to grow substantially in partnership with CCT over the next several years.
CCT, directed by Dr. Edward Seidel, has a permanent budget of $9 million/yr from the state and a mission to enhance information technology efforts at LSU. Much of CCT's funding is being used to create new faculty positions and research groups in the computational sciences across disciplines, including computational mathematics, computer science, nanotechnologies, astrophysics and relativity, fluid dynamics, bio-informatics, and others. New faculty members will be expected to develop their own high-profile, interdisciplinary research programs that complement existing national and international CCT projects. Faculty activities are expected to support and to be highly integrated into the complimentary goals of ECE and CCT. To enhance these activities, CCT has developed active visitor and fellowship programs. As part of the initiative, CCT already hosts 1,024- and 256-processor beowulf clusters, a 48-processor G5 machine, and is planning additional infrastructure such as an advanced visualization facility.
In the spring of 2005, LSU will be connected to the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) high-speed network. LONI, funded by a $40M commitment from the state, will provide a 40 Gbps connection between new large-scale computing resources deployed at Louisiana research institutes. LSU will also be connected to the National Lambda Rail in spring 2005, providing national and international high-speed connectivity.
Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering or a closely related field; ability to teach graduate and undergraduate courses in electrical and computer engineering; excellent track record in research. All-but-dissertation (ABD) applicants will be considered. Salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience. Release time and resources will be provided in order to enhance the development of a quality research program. Application reviews will begin February 15, 2005, and will continue until candidates are selected. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Please send a resume (including e-mail address), names of at least three references and a statement of teaching and research interests to search05@ece.lsu.edu (preferred) or mail your application package to: Dr. Kemin Zhou, Chair, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Louisiana State University, Ref: Log # 0236, Baton Rouge, LA 70803.
