    Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence


    Building on our strengths in Engineering with artificial intelligence and data science, the College of
    Engineering at the University of Iowa invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in data
    analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or related areas in either the department of Electrical
    and Computer Engineering or Industrial and Systems Engineering to begin in the Fall of 2022.
    Candidates
    advancing any area related to data analytics, machine learning, or artificial intelligence will be
    considered, including the advancement of theory, the development of methods, or the applications of
    these technologies. The rank of assistant professor is targeted, but all ranks will be considered.
    Successful candidates will:

     have a PhD in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, or
    related fields,
     be committed to fostering an inclusive climate that values and engages diversity in its many
    forms, and

    undergraduate software engineering courses.

    The University of Iowa offers an exceptional environment for interdisciplinary collaboration through
    numerous nationally recognized centers and institutes including the Holden Comprehensive Cancer
    Center, the National Advanced Driving Simulator, the Iowa Institute for Biomedical Imaging, the
    Institute for Clinical and Translational Science, the Iowa Initiative for Artificial Intelligence, IIHR –
    Hydroscience and Engineering, the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, the Heartland
    Center for Occupational Health and Safety, Iowa Injury Prevention Center, the Public Policy Center, and
    many others. These organizations support active and productive collaborations among researchers in
    the College of Engineering, the Carver College of Medicine, the College of Public Health, the Tippie
    College of Business, and beyond. We are particularly interested in applicants whose research align with
    current research thrusts on campus, including healthcare, neuroscience, climate science, genomics,
    hydroscience, computational simulations, smart manufacturing, and automated driving. The successful
    candidate will contribute to a thriving multidisciplinary research community.

    The University of Iowa understands the link between diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and excellence
    in education. We are proud to be the first public institution that admitted both men and women
    regardless of race (since our founding in 1847), and the first to extend benefits to employees' domestic
    partners (in 1992). We embrace our shared responsibility to create a welcoming and inclusive campus
    culture so that all community members can unlock their own potential. Faculty in the College of
    Engineering contribute to DEI by designing curricula, research programs, and engagement opportunities
    that challenge the status quo, cultivate empathy, seek out diverse perspectives, and value global
    citizenship. Within the application, candidates are asked to submit a DEI statement describing their past,
    current, and/or future contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As part of this statement,
    candidates can describe how their research, teaching, mentoring and/or professional service activities
    have (or will) advance DEI and promote social justice. To learn more about the University of Iowa's
