Multiple, Open-Rank, Tenured/Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Microelectronics, Circuits and Systems Design
Indiana University Bloomington
Indiana University Bloomington (IUB) invites applications for multiple tenured or tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant, associate or full professor rank in the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Department of Intelligent Systems Design, in the field of microelectronics, circuits, and system design. We seek candidates who can teach and lead research in one or more of the following areas: analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits; digital VLSI and AI hardware systems; advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration; and power electronics and energy-integrated microsystems.
We encourage applications from scholars who apply interdisciplinary perspectives across a variety of these domains and complement existing strengths within the department. We particularly welcome candidates whose work leverages innovative computational techniques and connects microelectronic circuits and systems with computing, AI, sensing, security, radiation effects, healthcare, or other emerging application domains.
These 10month appointments would ideally start August 1, 2027, although an earlier or later start date is negotiable. All applications received prior to October 16, 2026, will receive full consideration; applications will continue to be accepted and reviewed until all positions are filled.
Responsibilities: Tenured/tenure-track faculty at Indiana University Bloomington are expected to substantially contribute to the overall academic excellence of their department by developing and/or maintaining a robust research portfolio including pursuing and obtaining major extramural research funding to conduct cutting-edge research both as a corresponding principal investigator and a collaborating investigator; teaching and mentoring a diverse population of students at the undergraduate and/or graduate level as designated by the department chairperson; and actively providing service within the department, school and university alongside active engagement with the profession and/or the community. Candidates with special interest in the following areas are encouraged to apply:
- Analog and Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits Key research areas: Low-power analog design; sensor interfaces; data converters (ADC/DAC); RF/mixed-signal integration; power management IC blocks. Teaching contributions: core electronics sequence; Analog IC Design; sensor/measurement laboratory modules; mixed-signal design projects.
- Digital VLSI and AI Hardware Systems Key research areas: ASIC/FPGA design flows; AI/edge accelerators; hardware–software co-design; modern SoC architectures; verification and architecture exploration. Teaching contributions: VLSI/Digital VLSI; hardware acceleration; capstone integration; design verification and prototyping experiences.
- Advanced Packaging and Heterogeneous Integration Key research areas: Chiplets; 2.5D/3D integration; thermal/reliability co-design; advanced interconnects; packaging-aware design methodologies. Teaching contributions: Heterogeneous Integration & Advanced Packaging; packaging/reliability labs; cross-layer design projects linking devices to systems.
- Power Electronics and Energy-Integrated Microsystems Key research areas: Power ICs; wide-bandgap (GaN/SiC) integration; efficient power delivery; electrified transportation; energy-aware computing platforms. Teaching contributions: Power Electronics; power conversion labs; energy-constrained system design projects with hardware measurement.
These positions are located on the campus of Indiana University, Bloomington (IUB) in Bloomington, Indiana, and successful candidates are expected to work on the IUB campus to allow full engagement with the department, school, campus, and community. Indiana University bases its tenure and promotion recommendations upon performance in three areas including research, teaching, and service. All individuals hired through this initiative are expected to excel in research and provide strong performance in teaching and service.
Minimum Qualifications: Applicants should possess a PhD in engineering (or a related field) and be committed to excellence in scholarship and teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level.
Candidates for appointment with tenure positions must demonstrate a record of scholarly achievement appropriate for an appointment with tenure, including extramurally funded research as a corresponding principal investigator, current funding or strong potential to secure external funding, established record of publications and scholarly work, and experience leading sizeable research initiatives.
Application Procedures: Review of applications will begin October 16, 2026 and continue until all positions are filled. Application materials should include:
- Cover letter (maximum of 3 pages in length), identifying your application for a position with tenure (associate or full professor) or a tenure-track position (assistant professor), summarizing your qualifications and interest in the position.
- Current Curriculum Vitae
- Research Statement (maximum of 4 pages in length)
- Teaching Statement (maximum of 2 pages in length)
- Up to three representative scholarly publications (optional)
- Contact information for three professional references
o Professional references for applicants for tenure-track positions will only be solicited for those selected for screening interviews.
o Professional references for applicants for positions with tenure will only be solicited for those selected for a finalist interview and/or job offer.
