The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) at Boston University (BU) is searching for a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the area of optics and photonics with impact in disciplines such as metasurface flat optics, quantum photonics, optoelectronic and fiber-based devices, and integrated micro- and nanophotonics. BU has a strong and growing footprint in these areas. Candidates with research programs that transcend the traditional boundaries of ECE are welcome to explore affiliated appointments in appropriate units, such as Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering.
BU ECE is a rising department that attracts exceptional graduate-student and faculty talent at all levels. Research activity by primary faculty is approximately $30M per year. The College of Engineering is currently ranked 31st in the nation by US News and World Report, and 13th among private universities. BU ECE faculty lead and participate in several high-profile, multidisciplinary research centers, including the Photonics Center, the Rajen Kilachand Center for Integrated Life Science and Engineering, the Neurophotonics Center, and the Center for Computing and Data Science.
