Assistant/Associate/Full Professor Tenure System

Michigan State University(MSU) • East Lansing, MI • 13h ago

Working/Functional Title

Position Summary

The College of Engineering at Michigan State University (MSU) invites applications for multiple tenure-system faculty positions in all areas related to Space Electronics. We encourage applications for appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor and will consider exceptional candidates for appointment at the rank of Associate or (Full) Professor. These positions are supported through Michigan State University's Global Impact Initiative, designed to address global grand challenges and national priorities through the creation of over 100 new faculty positions in some of the most promising -- and critical -- fields of research.

Candidates must have earned a PhD in Electrical Engineering or a discipline related to Space Electronics at the time of appointment, with an anticipated start date of August 16, 2026. Successful candidates will be expected to develop a sustainable, externally funded, and internationally recognized research program; contribute significantly to their discipline through scholarly work; demonstrate effective teaching and mentorship of both undergraduate and graduate students; participate in institutional and professional service; and contribute to the university's land-grant mission. Faculty appointments are expected to reside primarily within the College of Engineering; however, appointments in other colleges or academic units may be made, depending on the candidate's expertise and interdisciplinary alignment. Joint appointments will be considered as appropriate. Candidates are encouraged to describe how their research complements and enhances existing strengths across Michigan State University.

All areas of research specialization will be considered, with a particular interest in candidates whose work has the potential to impact space electronics and aligns with the MSU Space Electronics Initiative, in close collaboration with the on-campus high-energy ion test facilities.

Highly encouraged areas of research include:

Space applications and space readiness for emerging materials and processes

Concepts, devices, and circuits advancing state-of-the-art semiconductors, including (but not limited to):

Wide band gap devices

Silicon photonics

Other photonic IC platforms for space applications

Heterogeneous microsystem integration and packaging of semiconductors and chiplets

Radiation and temperature effects on next-generation materials and electronics applications

The position involves participation in export-controlled research, requiring eligibility for facility access, testing of export-controlled parts, and compliance with technology export controls and federal sponsor requirements. Therefore, the successful candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at the time of appointment. Other qualifications include strong leadership and interpersonal skills, excellent written and oral communication abilities, and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative research environment. Successful candidates will be appointed to an academic-year position in the tenure system, with the potential for tenure, if appropriate. Successful candidates are expected to elevate the reputation of MSU through their professional activities.

Equal Employment Opportunity Statement

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, citizenship, age, disability or protected veteran status.
