Working/Functional Title

Assistant/Associate/Full Professor Tenure System

Position Summary

The College of Engineering at Michigan State University (MSU) invites applications in all areas related to semiconductor science and engineering for up to four open-rank, tenure-system faculty positions. Candidates must have a doctorate in engineering or a closely related science engineering discipline at the time of appointment, which will be available as of August 16, 2023.

The candidate will be expected to develop a nationally recognized research program and teach courses within the College at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. All areas of research specialization will be considered, but the following areas have been identified as being of particular interest:

• Heterogeneous microsystem integration of semiconductors and associated radiation effects for space electronics applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, emerging research in microsystems of RF systems-in-packages, mixed analog and digital integration, sensor systems, and space-tolerant power integrated power conversion.
• 6G/Millimeter-Wave RF devices and electronics and understanding of the mechanisms of radiation damage on device performance and lifetime for space electronics applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, emerging research in high-frequency device design, IC design, testing (metrology), and model extraction as it relates to advanced circuit applications (e.g., communications and radar) including radiation tolerance and integration techniques for space systems. 
• RF devices and circuit design, testing, and radiation tolerant approaches for space electronics applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, emerging research in wide band gap amplifiers, power electronics, and related areas.
• Additive manufacturing of dielectric materials for high-performance, radiation-tolerant electronics for space applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, emerging research in additively manufactured dielectric material development, microstructural and interface characterization, deposition/synthesis, thermal/electrical properties and mechanisms underlying fatigue life and damage mechanisms, and the influence of manufacturing processes and microstructure on performance and lifetime in space-based electronics applications.
• Development of semiconducting materials for radiation-tolerant electronics for space applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, atomistic prediction and experimental verification of radiation-induced effects, as well as the analysis of non-epitaxial interfaces designed for improving electrical and thermal performance in radiation environments.

Appointments will be made in the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering or Chemical Engineering and Materials Science considering existing strengths and capabilities as well as the candidate's preferences.  Joint appointments with other engineering departments are possible. This will be a full-time, academic-year appointment in the tenure system, with tenure if appropriate, at a salary commensurate with the candidate's background and experience. Those who conduct research that enhance or are related to aspects of inclusion and equity are of high interest.
