tenure track faculty positions to support the university’s Next-Gen K State Strategic Plan 2030 (<a href="https://www.k-state.edu/next-gen/" target="_blank">https://www.k-state.edu/next-gen/</a>). Applications are sought to fill positions in the fields of
a) computer vision; b) integrated robotics; and c) biosensors/sensors. Applications for all position levels (assistant/associate/full professor) will be considered. The tenure department for each position will be determined by the background, experience, and
interests of the selected candidate and the college. A PhD in an appropriate engineering or computer science discipline, or related field, will be required. These positions will support the campus efforts to enhance interdisciplinary research that also address
the college’s strategic research areas of one health, sustainable infrastructure, computing technologies, and secure platforms. The positions are expected to create new research synergies between various programs in the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering and
other K-State colleges including agriculture, arts and sciences, health and human sciences, and veterinary medicine. We seek ambitious, creative, and innovative individuals with a collaborative spirit and vision, who have demonstrated excellence in research
and have the drive to become leaders in their fields while maintaining high-quality teaching and mentoring activity. Candidates from under-represented groups in STEM are strongly encouraged to apply.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
