[Brett Isham]

Assistant Professor in Computer Engineering at Interamerican
University of Puerto Rico (note current application deadline October
30!)

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Interamerican
University of Puerto Rico, located on the Bayamón Campus near San
Juan, has an opening for a tenure-track assistant professor faculty
position in Computer Engineering.  A PhD in Electrical and/or Computer
Engineering is required.  Associate professor appointments may be
possible, and applicants with degrees in related fields will be
considered.  The start date can be as soon as January 2016.

Interamerican University is the largest private university in Puerto
Rico, with nine campuses, professional programs in optometry and law,
and a total student population of about 50,000.  Interamerican's
Bayamón campus, with about 5,000 students, is primarily an
undergraduate institution.  The successful applicant will have
experience in undergraduate teaching and an interest in new and
innovative teaching strategies.  Teaching duties will include both
computer engineering and electrical engineering classes.  Proficiency
in spoken English and/or Spanish is required.

The Bayamón campus has active research programs in aerosols in the
atmospheric boundary later, ionospheric physics including active
radiowave modification of the ionosphere, and in the development of
radio instrumentation for atmospheric and space research.  The NSF
Arecibo Observatory is a 90-minute drive from campus; the NOAA VIPIR
HF radar, located at the USGS San Juan Observatory, is a 60-minute
drive; and the Bayamón campus is in the process of building an HF
radio research imaging array in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.  The Bayamón
campus is also the lead institution in the development and
construction of the Puerto Rico CubeSat, which incorporates an ion
wave instrument built by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and an
MF/HF radio instrument built by Mälardalen University in Sweden, in
collaboration with the Swedish Institute of Space Physics and the
Interamerican Bayamón campus.

Recently, the Interamerican Department of Mechanical Engineering began
an MSME program with an emphasis in aerospace engineering, and the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is in the process of
starting an MSEE program, with one of three areas of emphasis being
sensing of the atmosphere and geospace via radio and radar, passive
optics and lidar, and satellites.  Bayamón campus programs also
include the Interamerican University School of Aeronautics, located at
Isla Grande airport in San Juan.

Applications must include a CV and official transcripts from
universities attended.  Also suggested are a one-page cover letter;
contact information for three professional references; and a short
statement discussing teaching experience, philosophy, and goals, and
research and professional goals.

Applications should be received in person or by mail at:
