Assistant/Associate/Full Professor - College of Engineering Electrical and Computer Engineering Institute for NanoSystems Innovation (NanoSI) Oakland

About the Opportunity

Northeastern University invites applications for multiple open-rank positions (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor) as a major interdisciplinary and cross-college hiring effort under its new Institute for Nano Systems Innovation (NanoSI). The goal of the NanoSI Institute is to enable Northeastern to assume global leadership in use-inspired research and education in the broad area of semiconductors and nanosystems. The heterogeneous integration of advanced materials, structures and devices into nanosystems enables advanced sensing, communication and computing functionalities at the chip-level that are not possible today and it represents the key technology platform behind so-called 'must-win' applications such as, 5G/6G communications, artificial intelligence, quantum information science and nanomedicine.

We seek exceptional, game-changing applicants in the broad areas of semiconductors, power electronics, photonics, RF/mmWave devices and circuits, sensors and actuators, nanofabrication, heterogeneous integration, advanced packaging, and novel materials including wide bandgap semiconductors. Other areas of science and engineering will also be considered.

Appointments will be primarily or fully in the College of Engineering within the Departments of Bioengineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. This position has potential for both joint cross-department appointments and joint cross-college appointments in the College of Science, College of Social Sciences and Humanities, College of Arts, Media and Design, Bouve College of Health Sciences or the D'Amore-McKim School of Business. Positions will primarily be on the Oakland campus but may be available at the Burlington campus as well.

Northeastern University Oakland is a 135 acre campus located in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. NanoSI's Oakland faculty share a 6,000 square foot newly-renovated building with offices, laboratories, and collaborative space for graduate student and postdoctoral researchers. Our location enables collaboration with semiconductor industry partners in Silicon Valley, with academic partners at UC Berkeley, UCSF and Stanford University, and with the National Laboratories LBNL, LLNL, and Sandia National Laboratories. Northeastern's NanoSI researchers have access to the state-of-the-art nanofabrication facilities at UC Berkeley's Marvell Nanofabrication Laboratory as well as the Kostas Nanotechnology Laboratory on Northeastern's Boston campus. Home to numerous startup incubators and venture capital firms, the Bay Area is also one of the best locations for entrepreneurship and Northeastern offers several programs to encourage and assist faculty to commercialize their university inventions.

The Northeastern University Innovation Campus is a 14-acre hub dedicated to innovative research and entrepreneurship. Here, university students work hands-on alongside experienced and well-educated faculty members and professionals within various industries, government agencies, and academia. When on campus, students and professionals receive access to: cutting-edge laboratories and state-of-the-art research equipment; customized educational and training programs, tailored towards the needs of companies and organizations within the area; on-site industrial and educational leaders in the fields of cybersecurity, nanomanufacturing, data analytics, and much more. The campus, located on Boston's Route 128 high-tech corridor, accelerates innovation and discovery in emerging fields, from nano and quantum technologies to cybersecurity and nanomedicine. The ICBM, is he home for EQUAL lab, Cold Spray Laboratory, Building V, Colosseum RF Channel Emulator, Expeditionary Cyber and Unmanned Aircraft Systems R&D Facility, and Kostas Research Institute for Homeland Security.
