The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) and the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy seek applicants for tenure-track or tenured faculty positions in the area of robotics, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence (AI). The School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy (SEMTE), one of the seven Fulton Schools, houses a vibrant and dynamic research community in robotics, controls, and autonomous systems (learn more at http://robotics.asu.edu and http://ras.engineering.asu.edu). We seek applicants who complement our abilities in these areas to solve grand challenges as part of a community of experts. Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to, reconfigurable and soft robotics, bio-inspired robotics, assistive/rehabilitation robotics, human-machine interfaces, micro/nano robotics, multi-robot systems, control of and over networks, data-driven control, nonlinear systems and control, and applications of AI to robotics, controls, and autonomous systems.

We seek applicants who will contribute to our academic programs, promote transdisciplinary teaching and research, and help the university to achieve its aspirations, including enabling student success, transforming society, valuing entrepreneurship and conducting use-inspired research. Faculty members in the Fulton Schools are expected to develop an internationally recognized and externally funded research program, adopt effective pedagogical practices in the development and delivery of graduate and undergraduate courses, advise both undergraduate and graduate student research and projects and undertake service activities. 

This search is part of ASU’s engagement with the Arizona’s New Economy Initiative (NEI), a bold effort to ensure that Arizona leads the new economy that will rely on engineering, computing and technology to drive sustainable growth, resilience and opportunities for all. NEI investments in the Fulton Schools of Engineering will grow our world class faculty to accelerate research outcomes and to broaden student access to our programs; will establish Science and Technology Centers to foster the growth of new economy Industries; and will expand experiential learning and workforce training opportunities.
