Professor in Emerging Topics in Information and Control


TitleTenure-Track or Tenured Professor in Emerging Topics in Information and Control
SchoolHarvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Department/AreaElectrical Engineering
Position Description
The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) seeks applicants for positions at the tenure-track or tenured level in Electrical Engineering, with an expected start date of July 1, 2013. We invite applications in all areas of Control Theory, Information Theory, Communications, Signal Processing, interactions between these fields (e.g. control with limited information) and applications. We are particularly interested in non-classical research (e.g. quantum mechanical, new approaches to distributed, non-linear and stochastic control, information theoretic analysis of energy consumption, communications over non-linear media, non-linear signal processing ) or modern applications (e.g. biological, stochastic adaptation against cyber-attacks, dynamic control of materials properties) for these foundational areas.
The Electrical Engineering program benefits from outstanding undergraduate and graduate students, an excellent location, significant industrial collaborations, and substantial support from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Information about SEAS's current faculty, research, and educational programs is available at http://www.seas.harvard.edu
Basic Qualifications
Candidates are required to have a Ph.D. (or equivalent degree) in Electrical Engineering or related field by the expected start date.
Additional Qualifications
In addition, we seek candidates who have an outstanding research record and a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and graduate training. We are in particular looking for broadly educated and multidisciplinary applicants in all ranks, of exceptional potential, who can interact with a wide range of both Electrical Engineering and other SEAS faculty.
Special Instructions
Required application documents include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research plans, statement of teaching interests, copies of up to three representative papers, and names and contact information for three to five references. We encourage candidates to apply by January 15, 2013, but will continue to review applications until the positions are filled. Harvard is an Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action Employer. Applications from women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged.
