Professor - Open Rank - Computer Engineering

The Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson University is seeking applicants at all ranks in the area of digital circuits, though we may also consider strong applicants with expertise in robotics, AI/ML, and other areas of computer engineering. Specific research areas of interest include VLSI, ASIC, integrated circuits, mixed analog and digital circuits, and system/network on a chip. Problems may include high-performance computing, energy-efficient computing and processors, AI/ML accelerators including edge computing hardware, reconfigurable computing, biomedical circuits, hardware security, neuromorphic computing including in/near memory computing, electronic design automation, and HW/SW co-design. Research problems may overlap other focus areas within the department, such as communications (e.g. cognitive radio systems, MIMO systems on chip, RF circuit design for 5G/6G, satellite communications hardware, THz communication circuits), power (low power interfaces, power electronics, wireless power transfer), and photonics (optical devices and circuits, optical processor for AI). We seek candidates with a strong interest in interdisciplinary collaborative research, including with faculty members within the department, across the university, and with industrial partners. The Holcombe Department of ECE is one of the largest and most active departments at Clemson University, with 44 full-time faculty members, approximately 600 undergraduates, and 190 graduate students. Annual research expenditures exceed $13 million. Members of the faculty include five IEEE Fellows, four endowed chairs, and six named professors. The ECE department offers ABET-accredited B.S. programs in electrical engineering and computer engineering, along with M.S. and Ph.D. programs in both disciplines, as well as M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Photonic Science and Technology.

Applicants must have earned a doctorate in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or a closely related field.

Applicants should submit the following materials:

• Cover Letter
• Research Statement
