External Email - Use Caution

Dear Colleague,

This year, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Division of the EECS Department at the University of Michigan has an open faculty position in the field of Medical Image Analysis, broadly defined, along with several other related areas of interest (including signal processing, machine learning, data science and neurotech). Please encourage your outstanding doctoral students and postdocs to apply for one of these positions. Applicants at the Assistant Professor level should apply through our website: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1YmcmMARPB6bquPoAuPra973c3LqaHLXKWQMgGHX7GsOhsP....

We are interested in considering applicants at all levels (Assistant through full Professor). Michigan has leaders in imaging and image formation in the College of Engineering and we intend to hire an expert in image analysis to complement existing strengths. Anyone at the mid-career or senior level who might be interested (possibly including yourself) should please feel free to contact us directly for a conversation.

The Biomedical Engineering (BME) department at Michigan also has open faculty positions this year and one of their areas of special interest is artificial intelligence and machine learning. BME and ECE have successfully worked together to recruit faculty recently and are interested in coordinating the recruiting of applicants whose research and/or teaching interests might span both departments.

For BME applications, see https://secure-web.cisco.com/1IfCZEcALKOHdddTZ7BqsYq2hIyYYoOaaf-drc1XcoLazCb.... Applicants could apply to both units, or put a note in their cover letter to one unit expressing interest in also being considered in the other.

The UM Medical Center, located less than 2 miles from the engineering campus, is an exceptionally strong research unit with extensive collaborations with College of Engineering faculty. In addition, many faculty in the sciences and other engineering departments have research programs involving imaging, from microscopic scales to astronomical scales, providing numerous opportunities for image analysis collaborations.

We would especially welcome applications from individuals who would add diversity to our faculty.

The application web portal will close in February 2021, though applications will be considered in the order received. Submitting before the end of December is preferable.

Sincerely,

Jeff Fessler, Member ECE Executive Committee fessler@umich.edu William L Root Professor of EECS (he/him/his) http://secure-web.cisco.com/1H8L3iEU_mGzgkEEeFHofJGjFmbVeAw2ACfs4scGjRQmDWp_...
