The University of California, San Diego invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Machine Learning Theory and Systems with focus a in Optimization. This will be a joint appointment in the Halicioğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI) and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). The appointment will be at the Assistant Professor level (tenure track). Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on UC salary scales.

Data science and machine learning methods have already transformed the design practices in ECE. Conversely, information and signal processing techniques at the core of ECE curriculum have become vital tools in modern day data science and machine learning.

The relentless growth of data in all aspects of society and technology will undoubtedly strengthen the symbiotic relationship between data science and electrical engineering to develop foundational optimization methods to process the data sets and data streams, leading to still-to-be-imagined data-driven algorithms, processes, and intelligence. At UCSD, HDSI is home to TILOS, an NSF AI Institute focused on foundations of optimization and engineering applications including computer-aided chip design, and wireless network optimization. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has traditionally had a strong presence in statistical signal processing and information theory, serving the educational and research mission of HDSI. This joint faculty search seeks to leverage the success of these existing programs and continue to build a strong group in Machine Learning Theory and Systems with special emphasis in Optimization methods.

The successful appointee will be expected to teach graduate and undergraduate students at HDSI and ECE, with teaching load for each unit commensurate with the appointment. Candidates are expected to establish a vigorous program of high-quality research that focuses on innovations in Machine Learning Theory and Systems.

PhD or Advancement to Candidacy in Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline.

We seek applicants with an outstanding track record of research accomplishments, excellence in teaching, service, and a commitment to support diversity, equity and inclusion at the university.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering seeks faculty candidates for a tenure-track faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor whose research, teaching, and service will advance scholarship and institutional solutions for designing more just and equitable systems and structures. This search is part of a UC San Diego-wide cluster hire on Designing Just Futures. The faculty hired will advance UC San Diego’s commitment to the inclusion of Indigenous, Black, and migrant communities, anti-racism, anti-oppression, equity, and social justice. Faculty hired under this Initiative will join the UC San Diego campus, the UC San Diego Design Lab, and the Indigenous Futures Institute to forge a new paradigm of engagement and collaboration that draws on the geographic, academic, institutional, and cultural strengths of our tri-national region across Southern California, Baja California, and the Kumeyaay region. As part of their teaching portfolio, faculty hired under Designing Just Futures will be expected to design and teach courses that align with the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Design Lab, and the Indigenous Futures Institute programs.

In particular, UC San Diego Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) seeks to recruit diverse faculty in a wide range of ECE research disciplines that are related but not limited to Sustainable Computing, Cyber-Physical Systems, Mixed Physical-Digital Interactions, Machine Learning for Social Justice and Fairness, System Design, and Design Automation. Scholars should engage major societal issues concerning Indigenous, Black, Hispanic and migrant communities. This will be a broad search, so all relevant Electrical and Computer Engineering areas will be considered.

The required job duties include developing an excellent research program, teaching of undergraduate and graduate students, and service activities. Faculty in the department benefit from the presence of numerous major research centers, including the Center for Wireless Communications (CWC), the Qualcomm Institute (QI), the Center for Machine Integrated Computing & Security (MICS), the Center for Wearable Sensors (CWS), the Center for Information Theory and Applications (ITA), the Center for Memory Recording Research (CMRR), the Center for Networked Systems (CNS), the Contextual Robotics Institute (CRI), and the Power Management Integration Center (PMIC) which provide unique opportunities and resources.
