The University of Electro-Communications
Job Openings: Tenure Track Assistant Professors
（Research Area: Computer Science）

The University of Electro-Communications (UEC) invites applications for Tenure Track Assistant Professors.

In this tenure track system, the term of employment is five years from the start of the employment. During this period, newly employed assistant professors will receive an interim review in the third year of their employment, followed by a tenure review in the fifth year of the employment, and if their track record on research and other relevant factors are recognized to be exceptionally superior, they will be awarded the tenured status (i.e., guaranteed employment until the mandatory retirement) from the university as well as the promotion to associate professorship.
