Atlanta, GA

The Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology (IEN) at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) invites applications for Director of its 3D Systems Packaging Research Center (PRC), the premiere industry-funded semiconductor packaging research center in the United States. The new Director will lead the PRC during an exciting time, as the industry turns its attention to advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration and the federal government expands its investment in the area. Given the deep interdisciplinarity of PRC activities, it is anticipated that the new Director will hold a joint tenured or tenure-track faculty appointment in two or more Schools within Georgia Tech. The role of PRC Director is a 25% administrative appointment. Qualified candidates will be considered for an endowed chair and/or Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar position.

PRC's highly interdisciplinary team of faculty, research engineers, and students span fundamental research in electrical, mechanical, thermal design, materials and processes, and integration of these basic research efforts to design and demonstrate system prototypes for applications in all areas of electronics and computing. PRC's research is supported by an industry consortium of more than 40 companies from the US, Europe, and Asia. PRC maintains a suite of research labs and tools for packaging and heterogeneous integration, including a 100-150 mm panel pilot facility for prototyping electronic system technologies. PRC research also benefits from IEN's state-of-the-art cleanroom and characterization facilities. For more information about PRC and IEN see: https://www.prc.gatech.edu and https://ien.gatech.edu.

The ideal candidate will build upon PRC's past successes to:

• Craft and articulate a technical vision and strategy for the future of advanced packaging and 3D heterogeneous integration systems that leads the industry and the world.
• Maintain and expand PRC's leadership in advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration by leveraging the recent federal funding push and long-standing industry demand.
• Be an advocate for the PRC with both internal and external stakeholders, including GT faculty, students, and staff, GT leadership, PRC member companies, and the state of Georgia, to build new partnerships and grow the PRC's impact.
• Enhance PRC's world-class facilities to support the emerging needs of the advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration community.
• Create an organizational structure to carry out the technical and educational vision, respecting the interests of industrial consortium members and PRC students.
• Design and execute interdisciplinary educational and workforce development programs that prepare undergraduate, master's, and PhD students for the current and future needs of the semiconductor industry.
• Strengthen the internal and external PRC community by enhancing the diversity of PRC's students, faculty, and staff, increasing participation among the GT academic units, Interdisciplinary Research Institutes, Georgia Tech Research Institute, and working closely with industry and government.

An earned Ph.D. or similar terminal degree in a relevant discipline.
