The College of Engineering’s newly formed School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge (LSU) seeks applicants and nominations for the position of school director. An individual meeting college-wide criteria will also be appointed to the endowed M.B. Voorhies Professorship.

About the School: The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science was formed from two separate departments in 2012. It resides in the College of Engineering and includes approximately 40 faculty members distributed across two divisions: the Division of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and the Division of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). ECE offers BS degrees in electrical engineering and computer engineering programs, MS and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering. CSE offers a BS degree in computer science, an MS degree in system science, and a Ph.D. degree in computer science. All undergraduate programs in the school are accredited by ABET. The College of Engineering at LSU is home to eleven degree programs, has the second largest student enrollment on campus and ranks 7th in the nation for the number of undergraduate degrees granted. LSU is the flagship university in Louisiana, is classified by Carnegie Research Foundation as RU/VH (research university, very high research activity), and has a current enrollment exceeding 28,000 students. Baton Rouge, located on the east bank of the Mississippi River, has a metropolitan population of approximately 800,000 and is the center of major industrial, petrochemical, medical, government, and research activity. Responsibilities: The director of the School of EECS will be responsible for advancing research, teaching, and outreach activities, as well as managing school needs, resources, budgets, and personnel. This individual will be expected to advance the school in research activity, fundraising, and improving visibility nationally and internationally. He or she is expected to exhibit a commitment to diversity, have an appreciation of the diverse research and teaching activities in the school, and take a leadership role in interactions with alumni and industry. The director reports directly to the dean of the College of Engineering and is the primary liaison between the school and the college. Associate chairs of ECE and CSE will coordinate the division level administrative and academic functions and report to the school director. Qualifications: The newly formed School of EECS is looking for a director with the vision to leverage the existing potential of this school, as well as develop new opportunities. The position requires an earned doctorate from an appropriate accredited institution in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a closely related discipline. We invite applications from candidates with outstanding records in scholarly research and demonstrated leadership skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with students, faculty, alumni, industry partners, and the community. Application: Candidates should include a complete CV and a list of at least three professional references with the electronic application materials.
