Professor / Associate Professor / Assistant Professor (Embedded and Physical AI)

Department/Unit: Department of Information Engineering
Closing Date: Until the post is filled

The Department of Information Engineering (IE) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the level of Professor/ Associate Professor/ Assistant Professor in the area of Embedded and Physical AI. We seek candidates who develop intelligent systems that sense, learn, communicate, and act in the physical world under real-world resource and safety constraints. Areas of interest include AI systems for autonomous and embodied robotic platforms, Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded sensing systems, and networked AI systems, with particular emphasis on systems and hardware that can be deployed in complex real-world environments.

Research topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Advanced sensing and multimodal perception systems

• Embedded foundation models and agentic AI

• Efficient learning for embodied intelligence

• Networked and collaborative intelligence

• Trustworthy physical AI

Applicants should have (i) a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a closely related discipline; (ii) a strong research track record of, or demonstrated potential for, high-impact research in embedded and/or physical AI, commensurate with the rank sought; (iii) a strong commitment to excellence in teaching, student mentorship, and collaborative research; and (iv) the potential or proven ability to attract external research funding.

The appointee will be expected to (a) teach undergraduate and graduate courses in embedded systems, AI, and related areas; (b) establish an independent, externally funded research programme in embedded and physical AI; (c) supervise and mentor undergraduate and graduate students; and (d) collaborate with faculty members within CUHK and with external partners to advance research and education in the field.

Appointment(s) will normally be made on a contract basis for up to three years initially, which, subject to mutual agreement, may lead to a longer-term appointment or substantiation.

Further information about the Department can be found at http://www.ie.cuhk.edu.hk. The Department offers a dynamic research environment with strengths in communications, networking, artificial intelligence, information theory, security, and related areas.

Applicants please upload the full resume with a cover letter, copies of academic credentials, publication list with abstracts of selected published papers, a research plan, a teaching statement, together with names and email addresses of three to five referees to whom consent has been given for their providing reference (unless otherwise specified).

The University only accepts and considers applications submitted online for the post above via the CUHK career site. For more information and to apply online, please visit http://career.cuhk.edu.hk.
