Washington University in St Louis
https://apply.interfolio.com/114838

The Electrical and Systems Engineering department at Washington University in 
St. Louis invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions with 
an effective start date on or after July 1, 2023. Candidates should have earned 
a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in electrical engineering, systems engineering, 
computer engineering or a closely related discipline. Washington University is 
a highly-selective national research university with a strong tradition of 
research excellence. The University’s strategic plan, released in 2022, seeks 
growth of top-tier research, scholarship, and creative practice with an 
emphasis on transdisciplinary and cross-school research. Included in this plan 
are foci related to applications in medicine, public health, infrastructure, 
and addressing pressing societal challenges. Accordingly, we seek both junior 
and senior applicants who will contribute to research efforts across ESE, 
including in several emphasis areas:
information and decision systems, including autonomous systems and 
human-machine interaction
network science, including social systems and large-scale data analysis
imaging science, including signal processing and computational imaging
engineering brain science, including theory, models and methods for 
brain-inspired computation and for measuring and manipulating neural circuits
quantum sensing and imaging, including science and technology for detection and 
estimation beyond classical physics. Candidates interested in this area are 
encouraged to note University-wide growth in quantum technology at 
https://quantumleaps.wustl.edu/. Candidates may apply to the quantum cluster 
search in addition to the ESE search.

Equity, diversity and inclusion are core values at Washington University, and 
candidates will need to demonstrate the ability to create inclusive classrooms 
and environments in which a diverse array of students can learn and thrive. 
Candidates who will contribute to the diversity of the department are strongly 
encouraged to apply.

Successful applicants will have a primary appointment in the department of 
Electrical and Systems Engineering (ese.wustl.edu) with the possibility of 
joint appointments in other departments. The faculty member will be expected to 
teach undergraduate and graduate courses in electrical and systems engineering, 
participate in university service, and establish a thriving externally-funded 
research program. Faculty positions are open for all levels.

Applications should include: (1) a cover letter that identifies the candidate’s 
three most significant publications and describes their interest in the 
position; (2) a curriculum vitae; (3) a research plan for the next five years 
that should not exceed three pages, and should highlight the problem(s) or set 
of questions to be investigated, the envisioned approach, a mentoring strategy, 
and the proposed funding sources; (4) a statement of teaching interests and 
philosophy; (5) a statement describing contributions to and future plans for 
enhancing equity, diversity and inclusion; and (6) a list of at least three
