Carnegie Mellon University’s College of
Engineering (http://www.cit.cmu.edu) has opened an exciting new location in East Africa, focusing on the development and applications of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This regional Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Kigali, Rwanda, offers first-class graduate education in a region of the world booming with opportunities for technology innovation.
Striving to become the technology hub for East Africa, Rwanda is investing
heavily in infrastructure and capacity building in the critical areas of ICT and engineering. With a history of excellence in higher education, Carnegie Mellon in Rwanda (CMU-Rwanda) is addressing the needs of Rwanda and the region for highly skilled professionals by offering degree programs, the Master of Science Information Technology (MSIT) and, beginning in 2015, the Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (MSECE). The first class of CMU-Rwanda MSIT students enrolled in August 2012.
Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering is
consistently ranked amongst the top ten in the U.S. and the world. The College includes seven academic departments granting B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, two graduate-only degree granting departments (Information Networking Institute and Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley Campus), several multidisciplinary research centers and two Institutes (Carnegie Mellon CyLab and Institute for Complex Engineered Systems). Successful applicants for faculty positions with CMU-Rwanda will be expected to spend two academic semesters at Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh or Carnegie Mellon University Silicon Valley before assuming positions in Kigali.
Carnegie Mellon is seeking exceptional candidates
who want to contribute to innovative, interdisciplinary graduate programs at CMU-Rwanda in the areas of networking, communications, cyber security and privacy, software engineering, mobile technology, cloud computing, energy systems, image and signal processing, embedded systems, entrepreneurship and innovation and technology management. Candidates must possess Ph.D.s in C.S., ECE or related disciplines and outstanding records of research, teaching and leadership. Applications should include comprehensive resumes, including complete lists of publications, lists of 3 – 5 professional references, statements of research and teaching interests (less than 2 pages each) and copies of 2 research papers (journal or conference papers).
Applications should be submitted by email.
