Position Title: Assistant Professor Tenure Track Faculty – Electronics and Computer Engineering with Robotics

Bowling Green State University is searching for a Tenure Track Assistant Professor in the cross discipline of Electronics and Computer Engineering with a start date of August 7, 2023. The individuals will teach and develop undergraduate and graduate-level courses in, Digital Communication Networks, Wireless Communications, Sensors and Actuators, Embedded Systems, Industrial Automation and Programming, and courses in general engineering technology. This position is expected to be a cross-appointment between Robotics Engineering and Electronics and Computer Engineering. The successful candidate for this position is expected to teach and develop some courses in the robotics area. The individual will help to continue to develop the curriculum to ABET accreditation standards. The qualified individual will also perform externally funded research in areas such as computer hardware and embedded systems, cybersecurity, wireless networking, IoT, robotics, or other state-of-the-art research areas. The successful candidate will have the skills needed to interact with external companies as input to the curriculum and engage in industry projects and research.

The College of Technology is undergoing a major transformation by creating a School of Engineering to replace the current Department of Engineering Technologies. The School of Engineering will host our current B.S. in Systems Engineering and M.S. in Logistic Systems Engineering, and is scheduled to launch three additional engineering programs in Fall 2023 – Electronics and Computer engineering, Mechanical and Manufacturing engineering, and Robotics engineering.

The curriculum is heavily focused on hands-on education and applied research and mandates co-operative education courses for all students. Current programs are focused on ABET-ETAC accredited engineering technology programs, three of which are being converted to engineering. Additionally, technology programs will also be offered under the School of Engineering.
