The University of Rochester’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering seeks to hire outstanding early career candidates in AI circuits and systems over the next three years. Appointment will be at the rank of tenure-track Assistant Professor. We seek outstanding candidates in three areas:
Computer architecture for AI hardware. Accelerator architecture, hardware-software co-design, memory systems, and domain-specific architectures.
Circuit design for AI hardware. Energy-efficient inference and training circuits, mixed-signal and in-memory computing, evolving beyond-CMOS technologies, and heterogeneous integration and advanced packaging.
Edge AI and robotics. Embedded and real-time AI systems, autonomous systems, and human-AI interaction, with an emphasis on hardware-aware design.
Successful candidates will have an anticipated start date between 2027 and 2029. The start date is negotiable.
