The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) and the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering seek applicants for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in the area of Advanced Semiconductor Packaging. The School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering (https://ecee.engineering.asu.edu/), one of the eight Fulton Schools, houses a vibrant electrical engineering research community (learn more at https://research.engineering.asu.edu/). We seek applicants who can enhance our abilities in these areas as part of a community of experts. Particular areas of interest include but are not limited to: Packaging for High Frequency and Photonics Applications, Fabrication of Advanced Semiconductor Packages (2.5D, FOWLP, and 3D), Electromagnetic and Electro-Thermal Design and Modelling, Heterogeneous Integration, and Materials Characterization.

We search for applicants who will contribute to our academic programs, promote transdisciplinary teaching and research, and help the university achieve its aspirations, including enabling student success, transforming society, valuing entrepreneurship, and conducting use-inspired research. Faculty members in the Fulton Schools of Engineering are expected to develop an internationally recognized and externally funded research program, adopt effective pedagogical practices in the development and delivery of graduate and undergraduate courses, advise both undergraduate and graduate student research and projects, and undertake service activities.

The School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering’s research areas reflect the inclusiveness of the electrical engineering profession and our faculty’s expertise, ranging from the smallest nanoelectronics to the U.S. power grid and its control. Graduate students are involved in all of our research activities and have access to state-of-the-art facilities, such as the NanoFab microelectronics fabrication space on the ASU Tempe campus and the MacroTechnology Works facility, a former semiconductor plant converted to lab space. Six primary areas of specialization are control systems; electric power and energy systems; electromagnetics, antennas and microwaves; electronics and mixed-signal design; physical electronics and photonics; and signal processing and communications.

In addition, new faculty hired through this search will find exciting opportunities to participate in the activities of the Southwest Advanced Prototyping (SWAP) Hub. Led by Arizona State University, the SWAP Hub is one of eight regional innovation hubs established under the Department of Defense’s Microelectronics Commons, a national strategic initiative to accelerate the development and production of microelectronics technologies that are critical to U.S. security and defense. With over 170 partners, the SWAP Hub provides unprecedented opportunities for large-scale collaboration to advance microelectronics prototyping and lab-to-fab transition. Arizona State University is also actively engaged with a large ecosystem of partners to respond to opportunities available through the National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program and Natcast.
