POSITION DESCRIPTION

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) is accepting applications for a tenure track position at all ranks (Assistant, Associate and Full Professor level) in the area of Photonics. The Department has particular (but non-exclusive) interest in applicants with expertise in quantum optics, optical devices, photonic integrated circuits, fabrication of optical devices, growth of optical materials and systems measurements of photonic devices and integrated circuits.

The department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service. In 2024-25, a wide array of UC Santa Barbara departments are partnering with the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to launch a special faculty recruitment initiative named after Benjamin Banneker, the 18th-century African American mathematician, astronomer, anti-racist, engineer, ecologist, and peace advocate. Funded by an Advancing Faculty Diversity grant from the UC Office of the President, with the goal of diversifying faculty, research, and curriculum in STEM (and related) fields, the Banneker Initiative aims to recruit scholars, scientists, and engineers whose disciplinary and interdisciplinary work would take place within the community of interests exemplified by Banneker’s intellectual, ethical, and social commitments as an African American scientist. Applicants may be eligible to be fellows in the Benjamin Banneker Initiative. The community of Banneker Fellows will receive funding for cohort building and professional development activities, including enrollment in the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity Faculty Success Program, proposal writing training, and seed grants.

The University of California, Santa Barbara is a leading research institution nestled on California’s beautiful Central Coast, with the ECE building located adjacent to the beach. The greater Santa Barbara area is a great place to raise a family and is within driving distance to Los Angeles.
