Professor (all ranks) in Semiconductor Processing and Packaging

The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) and the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy (SEMTE) seek applicants for multiple tenure-track or tenured faculty positions in the area of semiconductor processing and semiconductor packaging. SEMTE is home to degree programs in aerospace engineering, biological design, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, and mechanical engineering. SEMTE, one of the eight Fulton Schools, houses a vibrant, collaborative, and use-inspired engineering research community (Learn more at https://research.engineering.asu.edu/ ). We seek applicants who complement our abilities in these areas to solve grand challenges as part of a community of experts.

Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to, thermo-electro-mechanical behavior; physics of failure (e.g., creep, fatigue, vibration, shock, humidity, thermal, CTE-mismatch, etc.); accelerated life testing and reliability; multi-disciplinary design optimization; modeling and simulation; electronics thermal management; semiconductor equipment design and metrology; advanced device assembly and packaging; and co-design of packaging materials, devices, and heterogeneously-integrated systems.

We seek applicants who will contribute to our academic programs, promote transdisciplinary teaching and research, and help the university to achieve its aspirations, including enabling student success, transforming society, valuing entrepreneurship and conducting use-inspired research. Faculty members in the Fulton Schools of Engineering are expected to develop an internationally recognized and externally funded research program, adopt effective pedagogical practices in the development and delivery of graduate and undergraduate courses, advise both undergraduate and graduate student research and projects, and undertake service activities. 

This search is part of ASU’s engagement with the Arizona’s New Economy Initiative (NEI) , a bold effort to ensure that Arizona leads the new economy that will rely on engineering, computing and technology to drive sustainable growth, resilience and opportunities for all. NEI investments in the Fulton Schools of Engineering will grow our world class faculty to accelerate research outcomes and to broaden student access to our programs; support Science and Technology Centers to foster the growth of new economy Industries; and expand experiential learning and workforce training opportunities.

Appointment will be at the assistant, associate, or full professor rank commensurate with the candidate’s experience and accomplishments, beginning August 2024. Although the tenure home may be in any of the Fulton Schools, the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy is currently the most involved in the interest of this research.
