Faculty Recruitment

The Department of Electrical Engineering and Applied Electronics, Tsinghua University recruits professors from home and abroad (2023 Faculty Recruitment Plan)

Introduction to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Applied Electronics, Tsinghua University

The Department of Electrical Engineering and Applied Electronics (EEA) of Tsinghua University, founded in 1932, is one of the three earliest engineering departments established at Tsinghua University and also one of the first batch of units authorized to grant doctoral degrees in first-level disciplines by the state. With a long history and remarkable achievements, the Department has all five secondary discipline points of the first-level discipline of “Electrical Engineering” and has consistently ranked first or A+ nationally in four discipline assessments. In the 2010 international discipline assessment, it was evaluated as “One of the top such departments in the world”. In 2023, the Electrical & Electronic Engineering major was ranked 14th in the world (QS Ranking).

EEA has been adhering to the concept of aiming at both international cutting-edge basic research and addressing major needs of national economic development, conducting scientific research in the fields of electrical and electrical engineering. Seizing the development opportunities of the national “dual carbon” strategy, EEA has already laid out research on technological innovation around new power systems and has collaborated with the Tsinghua University Energy Internet Innovation Research Institute, the Tsinghua Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute, the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Power System Operation and Control, and the National Energy Internet Industry and Technology Innovation Alliance to jointly build a development model and innovation platform of “one department, two institutes, one office, and one alliance”.

EEA has a strong faculty team with a reasonable age structure. It currently has more than 120 full-time teachers and researchers, including 45 professors with senior titles and 47 associate professors. There is 1 academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 1 foreign academician of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, 1 academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering of the United Kingdom, 10 IEEE Fellows, 29 IET (IEE) Fellows, and 1 national-level teaching master. Currently, among the teachers under 40 years old, 23 have been awarded talent titles, accounting for 70% of the teachers in the same age group; 39 young and middle-aged teachers have been selected for national talent projects. A large number of young teachers have shown strong innovative strength and good career development momentum.

EEA has established a complete tenure and long-term employment mechanism (similar to the tenure system abroad), with all teaching and research series teachers implementing an annual salary system.
