GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at
The George Washington University invites applications for
two tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor rank in the areas
of Nanotechnology, and Electrical Power and Energy, respectively.
Successful candidates may start as early as the fall semester 2011.

The department has a well established and
nationally recognized research program in
the fields of micro- and nano-electronics,
computer engineering, and biomedical
engineering, among others. In addition,
the university has initiatives designating
the areas of biomedical engineering, nanotechnology and high-performance computing, and Energy as areas of excellence. The
George Washington University is located
in the nation's capital with close access to
many federal funding agencies and government research laboratories.
RESPONSIBILITIES: Successful candidates
for both positions will be expected to develop
externally sponsored research programs,
supervise Masters' and Doctoral students,
and contribute to the teaching and academic

HOW TO APPLY: To be considered, applicants must send a letter containing (i) the
position they are applying to, (ii) a brief statement of interest, (iii) a curriculum vita, (iv)a
statement of research and teaching interests,
(v) copies of at least three representative publications, and (vi) complete contact information of at least five references to:

advising of students at all levels. Teaching
responsibilities include the development of
both undergraduate and graduate courses
and laboratories. The successful candidate
for the Energy will undertake research in
emerging technologies in power and energy,
particularly with regard to sustainability.

journals and conference proceedings; 2)
demonstrate substantial potential to attract
extramural research funding. i.e., grants,
funding proposals, etc.; and 3) demonstrate
the ability to teach undergraduate and graduate level courses.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants must
complete all degree requirements for the
Ph.D in Electrical, Computer, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely related field by August
1, 2011 to be appointed as an assistant professor. ABDs will be considered, and if hired, will
initially receive a conditional appointment at
the rank of Instructor, but the Ph.D. must be
completed by the end of the first academic
year of appointment. . In addition applicants
must 1) demonstrate strong research poten-

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: For both
positions, a strong background in designing
and evaluating experimental systems will
be an added advantage. For the Nanotechnology position, candidates in all areas of
RFIC/MMIC design and fabrication, advanced Nano-devices and the applications
of electromagnetics and nanotechnology to
biomedicine will be considered. Preference
will be given to candidates with interests in
microwave systems and nanotechnology for
