Electrical and Computer Engineering Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering
We invite applications and nominations for a tenure-track faculty position at the associate or full professor level to start Fall 2026. Candidates are sought with interests that complement and expand upon current research and teaching activities in the area of high intensity laser-matter interactions, high power lasers, and their applications to high energy density science, including laser fusion.
We are accepting applications until February 28.
You may think electrical and computer engineering is magic – and it kind of is. We are the masters of power and energy and light and systems. We are the force that connects people and technologies with elegant devices that fit in the palm of your hand and colossal systems that are beyond imagination.
Is that magic? Almost. We can’t wait to show you how it works.
Electrical and Computer Engineering is filled with bright minds and daring visionaries who engage, imagine, and invent. We are behind the innovations that change your day and your life. From smart cities to self-driving cars, we turn science fiction into living, breathing science.
CSU has led global laser innovation for decades, from pioneering soft x-ray lasers to serving as a key node of LaserNetUS, a Department of Energy network of the most advanced lasers in North America.
CSU’s leadership in laser science and technology is driven by ECE University Distinguished Professors Jorge Rocca and Carmen Menoni.
ECE also leads the RISE inertial fusion energy (IFE) hub – one of only three IFE hubs in the nation funded by the DOE. The hub is led by Prof. Menoni.
Welcome to the future home of innovative education, research, and workforce development. CSU is building one of the nation’s most powerful laser research facilities on its Foothills Campus. The Advanced Technology Lasers for Applications and Science Facility, known as ATLAS, will open in 2026. Construction started in October 2024.
As a top 10 technology producing department, we generate 35% of CSU’s patents
We are home to one member of the National Academy of Engineering, one fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, three University Distinguished Professors, one University Distinguished Teaching Scholar, and multiple fellows across a range of technical disciplines.
This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Colorado State University is built on innovation, creativity, and impact.
