The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science at SUNY Binghamton invites applications for a faculty position at the rank of assistant professor to begin Fall 2026. Individuals with an established record of obtaining competitive research funding and a history of scholarly excellence will be considered for appointment at the associate professor rank.

The Department seeks candidates who can expand our research expertise in the general area of control systems and their practical implementation, with particular interest in robotics (perception, sensing, and real‑world autonomous operation) or relevance to other ECE research areas. The successful applicant will be expected to engage in scholarly activities, establish and lead an externally funded research program, and maintain excellence in teaching at the BS, MS, and PhD levels.

Candidates with an experimental focus and application expertise that synergizes with existing faculty research—such as Power & Energy, Cyber Physical Resilience & AI Security, Quantum Information Science & Engineering, Bioelectronics & Bioinformatics, and Semiconductors—are preferred.

The successful candidate will help advance Watson College’s commitment to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive academic environment and will engage in collaborative initiatives across Binghamton University.

Watson College stands committed to fostering a community that reflects our diverse society, ensuring that its teaching, research, scholarship, and outreach programs include and serve a wide range of individuals. The college develops structures and opportunities that improve the experience of all students, especially those underrepresented in engineering and computer science. Faculty, staff, and students work to cultivate a community that is conscious of barriers to social mobility, exhibits empathy and compassion, and advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion both within the college and beyond.

We strongly encourage potential applicants who share these goals—particularly underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities—to apply.
