The Energy Production and Infrastructure Center

Tenure-track Faculty in Semiconductor Devices for Power Electronics

Position # 004344

 

The Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (EPIC) at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) invites applications for a tenure-track (tenured) faculty position in the area of semiconductor devices for power electronics.

 

EPIC was formed in response to the need for highly trained engineers qualified to meet the demands of the energy industry. EPIC is an industry/education partnership that produces a technical workforce, creates advancements in technology for the global energy industry, and supports the Carolinas’ multi-state economic and energy security. The EPIC initiative includes a 200,000 square foot, $76 million LEED Certified building that opened in July 2012. It houses classrooms, lecture halls, conference rooms, a clean room, a smart grid facility, and offices and laboratories for electrical, civil, environmental and computer research related to energy and energy delivery infrastructure; space for industrial partners is also available. The EPIC Building features several specialized laboratories in the different focus areas.

 

Candidates at the level of assistant/associate professor will be considered, commensurate with professional experience and academic record. Candidates for all levels must hold a doctoral degree in electrical engineering, applied physics, or a closely-related field of study. The ideal candidate has expertise to build a successful research program in the area of semiconductor device design, fabrication, testing, and applications impacting advanced power electronics. Applicants with relevant experience in semiconductor devices for power electronics will be considered, but particular consideration will be given to applicants demonstrating a desire and potential for interdisciplinary research. Of particular interest are candidates with industry experience covering design, fabrication, and application to market ready products based on wide bandgap semiconductor materials. The successful candidate will be expected to teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, with significant contributions to the microelectronics courses in Electrical Engineering and contribute to EPIC, departmental, college, and university service.

Candidates that fit within EPIC’s mission (http://epic.uncc.edu/) are particularly encouraged to apply.
