The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) and the School of Electrical Computer and Energy Engineering seek applicants for a tenuretrack or tenured faculty position in the area of power electronics to support sustainable electric energy systems with a preference for candidates with expertise in high power electronics. The School of Electrical Computer and Energy Engineering one of the eight Fulton Schools of Engineering houses a vibrant electrical engineering research community (Learn more at We seek applicants who can enhance our abilities in these areas as part of a community of experts. Particular areas of interest include but are not limited to high voltage and highpower electronics hardware with applications towards electric power systems inverterbased resource technologies and controls solidstate transformers electric vehicles ultrafast EV chargers and electric aircraft. The School of Electrical Computer and Energy Engineering already possesses a power electronics lab capable of supporting converter development at >5 kV and several hundreds of kW. We have a strong interest in a candidate who can significantly add to the capabilities of the existing lab and establish opportunities for further growth. However please note that the originality and potential impact of each candidates work are higher priorities than the specific area of research.
We search for applicants who will contribute to our academic programs promote transdisciplinary teaching and research and help the university achieve its aspirations including enabling student success transforming society valuing entrepreneurship and conducting useinspired research. Faculty members in the Fulton Schools are expected to develop an internationally recognized and externally funded research program adopt effective pedagogical practices in the development and delivery of graduate and undergraduate courses advise both undergraduate and graduate student research and projects and undertake service activities.
The School of Electrical Computer and Energy Engineerings research areas reflect the inclusiveness of the electrical engineering profession and our facultys expertise ranging from the smallest nanoelectronics to the U.S. power grid and its control. Graduate students are involved in all our research activities and have access to stateoftheart facilities such as the NanoFab microelectronics fabrication space on the ASU Tempe campus and the MacroTechnology Works facility a former semiconductor plant converted to lab space. Six primary areas of specialization are control systems; electric power and energy systems; electromagnetics antennas and microwaves; electronics and mixedsignal design; physical electronics and photonics; and signal processing and communications.
In addition new faculty hired through this search will find exciting opportunities to participate in the activities of the Southwest Advanced Prototyping (SWAP) Hub. Led by Arizona State University the SWAP Hub is one of eight regional innovation hubs established under the Department of Defenses Microelectronics Commons a national strategic initiative to accelerate the development and production of microelectronics technologies that are critical to U.S. security and defense. With over 170 partners the SWAP Hub provides unprecedented opportunities for largescale collaboration to advance microelectronics prototyping and labtofab transition. Arizona State University is also actively engaged with a large ecosystem of partners to respond to opportunities available through the National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program and Natcast.
