The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, University at Albany

We are building a research-intensive College of Engineering and Applied

for the establishment of our first engineering program in 2016. The 
College now consists of three departments: Computer Science, Electrical 
and Computer Engineering, and (unique in the nation) Environmental and 
Sustainable Engineering. Programs in several other engineering 
disciplines are in development as the College is in an exciting period 
of rapid growth in both enrollments at the undergraduate and graduate 
levels as well as extramurally-funded research. From our location in New 
York's Capital Region we engage the community, looking to inspire a more 
diverse generation of students to pursue careers in engineering and 
applied sciences.

Our programs provide an education that prepares students for careers not

postgraduate studies in many other fields, including law, medicine, 
finance, management, and more.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering 
or Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline from a college

in academic administrative and leadership skills and be committed to 
teaching, research, and service. Applicants should demonstrate active 
participation in professional engineering organizations. Applicants must 
demonstrate their experiences and willingness to work with a culturally 
diverse population.

To apply, please submit a complete CV, including a list of publications,
