Idaho State University seeks to develop an interdisciplinary community of scholars who will build and sustain educational and research excellence in technology and its energy applications. This effort is central to a polytechnic initiative funded by the State of Idaho and Idaho State University (ISU) in partnership with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and other key industry and educational partners in Eastern Idaho. ISU plans to hire a cluster of five faculty members whose proven capabilities complement INL’s emphasis on the generation, distribution and security of electric power. These faculty will be key to creating a new, interdisciplinary polytechnic center of excellence in the Intermountain/Pacific Northwest as ISU builds capacity and opportunity in engineering and affiliated disciplines.
Applicants from the fields of electrical engineering, computer engineering, cybersecurity, computer science and data science are encouraged to apply. Subject matter expertise in energy-relevant areas of informatics, cybersecurity and smart-grid technology are of particular interest. Applications are for tenure track or tenured positions at the rank of assistant or associate professor in the College of Science and Engineering. The positions will be located at ISU’s campus in Idaho Falls which is adjacent to the Idaho National Laboratory.
