The new faculty hired for this position will join 33 existing tenure-track faculty members and 15 career-track faculty members in the School of EECS, which has experienced rapid growth in enrollment over the past five years. Around the fall of 2024 approximately 1430 undergraduate students were enrolled in its B.S. programs, and 165 graduate students are enrolled in its M.S., and Ph.D. programs in computer science, electrical engineering, and computer engineering. EECS expects continued increase in enrollments and anticipates multiple faculty hires over the next two years. The current faculty composition in the School of EECS includes a member of the National Academy of Engineering and over ten fellows of international professional societies, as well as sixteen CAREER and Young Investigator award recipients. Our faculty excel in both teaching and research, and we sustain multiple internationally recognized research programs in artificial intelligence/machine learning, electronic design automation and computer architecture, high performance computing, data science, cybersecurity, software engineering, and power systems and engineering. Our graduate students have recently won multiple prestigious awards including Microsoft Research fellowship, IBM Research fellowship, and NSF Computing Innovation fellowship.
WSU is committed to excellence through diversity and faculty-friendly policy action, including partner/spousal accommodation and NSF ADVANCE Institutional Transformation programs (http://www.advance.wsu.edu/) to increase the participation of women in academic science and engineering careers. WSU is building a culturally diverse faculty and strongly encourages applications from women and minority groups.

WSU acknowledges that its locations statewide are on the homelands of Native American peoples, who have lived in this region and have been caretakers of the land from time immemorial. The Morrill Act of 1862 established our land-grant institution by providing public and federal lands that are traced back to the disposition of Indigenous lands, often taken by coercive and violent acts, and the disregard of treaties. For that, we extend our deepest apologies. We owe our deepest gratitude to the Native peoples of this region and maintain our commitment towards reconciliation. And as a land-grant institution, WSU is deeply committed to the land-grant mission, its Memorandums of Understanding with Native tribes in the region, and a tradition of service to society.
