The College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) invites applicants for multiple open-rank tenure-track positions in the area of autonomous vehicles, defined broadly. Candidates may hold a doctorate in any engineering discipline or computer science. They are expected to help build a research program and experimental facilities in support of UIC’s mission as a premier urban research university. Candidates should have a record of research and scholarship in any aspect of autonomy including, but not limited to, machine learning and AI for autonomous driving, V2X communications, sensing and perception, edge computing, modeling and simulation, safety and security, smart mobility and related infrastructure. They will have the opportunity to build strong interdisciplinary collaborations with other colleges and schools within UIC that intersect public policy, design, ethics, law and health. The department(s) of appointment will depend on the candidate’s background and interests. Applications must be submitted at https://jobs.uic.edu/, and include a curriculum vitae, teaching and research statements, and the names and addresses of at least three references.  The review of applications will start on April 1, 2020, and continue until the positions are filled.

The College of Engineering at UIC has undergone tremendous growth in faculty size, student enrollment, and grant expenditures over the past decade. A new Engineering Innovation Building was inaugurated in July 2019 and another facility is slated to be completed in 2022. The college currently comprises 195 faculty members and houses 6 academic departments, including Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil and Materials Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. 

UIC is a minority serving public research university located in downtown Chicago with about 2,800 faculty members and over 33,000 students. UIC is committed to increasing access to education, employment, programs and services for all. The University of Illinois is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action employer.
