              Neuro-Engineering Faculty Position


	      As part of its expanded emphasis in Neuro-Engineering,
	      the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE)
	      at the University of Houston invites applications for a
	      junior-level (Assistant Professor) tenure-track position.
	      Our present strengths are in visual perception and
	      neuro-signal analysis/modeling with current funding from
	      NIH, NSF, and the State of Texas. While all areas of
	      neuro-engineering will be considered, candidates with
	      research expertise in neural implants are especially
	      encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will have
	      an earned doctorate in electrical engineering or related
	      discipline and possess a record of scholarship
	      appropriate to their experience level. The appointment
	      will be effective September 1, 2003.

	      The successful candidate can expect a highly competitive
	      start-up package and numerous opportunities for
	      collaboration. In addition, qualified candidates are
	      expected to develop a funded research program, and to
	      teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The
	      successful candidate will become a member of the newly
	      established University of Houston Center for
	      Neuro-Engineering and Cognitive Science, which offers an
	      excellent environment for multi-disciplinary research and
	      collaboration. The proximity of the Texas Medical Center
	      offers further collaboration opportunities.

	      The University of Houston is a public university with
	      23,000 undergraduates and 9,000 graduate students located
	      in a park-like campus a few minutes from downtown. The
	      ECE Department has 34 tenure-track faculty, 800
	      undergraduates and 250 graduate students. The candidates
	      should send a CV, a cover letter that includes research
	      and teaching interests, copies of selected publications,
	      and the names of at least three references to:

	      Dr. Haluk Ogmen, Professor and Chair of the Search
	      Committee,

	      N308 Engineering Bldg. 1,
	      University of Houston, Houston,
	      TX 77204-4005.

	      To ensure full consideration, applicants should respond
	      by Jan. 15, 2003, though review will begin immediately
