Job Category:

Faculty

Employment Type:

Regular

Job Profile:

Professor

Job Duties:

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) seeks to hire a faculty member with expertise in the broad areas of quantum device engineering and quantum system engineering.  Desired areas of specialization include:

  • Integrated photonics and circuits for quantum technologies

  • Incorporation of quantum materials into optical, opto-electronic, and electronic devices

  • Qubit implementations using neutral atoms, trapped ions, superconductors, semiconductors, or wide-bandgap crystals

  • Quantum instrumentation, including cryogenic hardware

  • Architectures for quantum computing, networking, and sensing

The successful candidate will build a research program in ECE at UW-Madison that heavily leverages the regional quantum ecosystem through the Wisconsin Quantum Institute (WQI).  Experimental research will heavily leverage the Wisconsin Centers for Nanoscale Technology, particularly the Nanoscale Fabrication Center, a 10,000 sq. ft cleanroom on campus.

Outstanding candidates at all levels (Assistant, Associate, Full Professor rank) will be considered.

The ECE Department at UW-Madison has a long tradition of excellence in educating, mentoring, and inspiring future leaders; conducting research that is of vital importance to society; and serving Wisconsin, our nation, and the world. Our 48 tenure-track/tenured faculty (more than 35% of which are women) and 10 instructional faculty are leaders in their fields, respected nationally and internationally for their innovative research and teaching excellence.  Approximately 400 graduate students and over 1100 undergraduate students are enrolled in our top-ranked degree programs. ECE is a member department of WQI, a research hub at UW-Madison dedicated to advancing fundamental and applied quantum science and engineering.  Through WQI, ECE faculty are connected to the regional and broader quantum ecosystem including the Chicago Quantum Exchange. In addition, ECE faculty are members of National Quantum Information Science Centers, including Q-NEXT and Hybrid Quantum Architectures and Networks (HQAN).  Candidates who have specific goals and plans that are aligned with the ECE department’s mission (https://engineering.wisc.edu/departments/electrical-computer-engineering/) and whose research and teaching interests fall within the areas described above are strongly encouraged to apply.

Madison, Wisconsin, a beautiful city of more than 250,000, has been named on top-10 lists for tech growth centers, and consistently ranks as a top community in which to live, work, and play.

Key Job Responsibilities:

Teaching undergraduate and graduate courses and contributing to curriculum updates and innovations; mentoring graduate students and supervising their research; developing and directing a successful, extramurally funded research program; participating in departmental and university shared governance; and contributing to professional and public service.  Faculty at the associate or full professor rank will also have the responsibility of leading large research proposals and center-type activities.

Department:

  • College of Engineering, Department Electrical & Computer Engineering

Compensation:

  • Negotiable – 9 months / ongoing / renewable

Required Qualifications:

  • The successful candidate will have an excellent academic record, a vision for an innovative, significant and impactful research program and the skills to implement it, and a commitment to high-quality undergraduate and graduate instruction and mentoring.  Associate and Full Professor candidates must possess experience and scholarly credentials that meet the tenure standards of the UW-Madison Physical Sciences Divisional Committee and the College of Engineering.

Education:

  • Required Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or closely related field by the start date.

How to Apply:

  • Please apply directly to the website by clicking on "Apply Now." Upload a single PDF document containing 1) a cover letter, 2) a detailed CV, 3) research and teaching statements describing how the applicant's research and teaching goals fit the solicitation described above and how the candidate's previous activities and future plans are aligned with the department's priorities. Applicants should also provide names and contact information for three references who will be contacted upon application submission.

Deadline:

  • The deadline for assuring full consideration is December 16, 2025. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The position may remain open and applications may be considered until this position is filled.
