Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, wireless and mobile networking, next-generation communication systems, 6G and beyond, spectrum sharing and management, networked and cyber-physical systems, edge and distributed computing, Internet of Things (IoT), non-terrestrial and aerial networks, wireless network experimentation and testbeds, and artificial intelligence and machine learning for communications and networking systems. Candidates whose research bridges communications, networking, and emerging AI-enabled systems are encouraged to apply.
Successful candidates are expected to establish an externally funded research program, contribute to undergraduate and graduate education, participate in the development of academic programs, and engage actively with the broader research community.

The successful candidate must be eligible to work in the U.S. by the effective date of appointment.
EECS is the largest department in the KU School of Engineering with 43 faculty members and a research volume of over $13 million per year. Faculty engage in research projects across multiple areas of interest through the department, the Institute for Information Sciences (I2S), the Center for Remote Sensing and Integrated Systems (CReSIS), and the KU Medical Center. The EECS department offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, cybersecurity engineering, and applied computing. The department has approximately 800 undergraduate and 200 graduate students.
The University of Kansas is the state’s flagship university, an R-1 institution and one of just 71 invited members of the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU). Our university consistently earns high rankings for academics and recognition as a premier research university (engaging in $275 million of externally funded research annually).

The University values global engagement with more than 150 programs of international study and cooperative research and offers more than 130 study abroad programs. Student enrollment for the Lawrence-Edwards was 23,958 representing all 50 states and 112 countries.
KU’s excellence is a result of the rich tapestry of experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds of our faculty, staff, students, and colleagues from across our nation and the globe. At KU, we invest in continuous learning and growth by creating a climate where people engage in respectful dialogue and debate and support each other’s success. We foster a culture of care where each person is seen, heard and valued.
