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 
August 16, 2004.

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 (www.egr.uh.edu/cnecs), 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 31 tenure-track faculty, 850 undergraduates 
and 300 graduate students. The candidates should send a curriculum vita, a 
cover letter that includes research and teaching interests, copies of 
selected publications, and the names of at least three references to:
