Position description

The University of California, Berkeley invites applications for approved tenure and tenure-track positions in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the Assistant Professor and Associate/ Full Professor levels. Rank will be determined based on qualifications and experience. Joint appointments with department-affiliated institutes and initiatives, or other UC Berkeley departments, will also be considered.
