To submit job announcements for a particular Technical Committee, the submission form can be found by visiting the page below and selecting a particular TC.

Each year, the IEEE Board of Directors confers the grade of Fellow on up to one-tenth of one percent of the voting members.  To qualify for consideration, an individual must have been a Member, normally for five years or more, and a Senior Member at the time for nomination to Fellow.

EEE Signal Processing Society Vice President-Education Shrikanth (Shri) S. Narayanan invites nominations for the positions of Chief Editor, Signal Processing Repository (SigPort) and Chief Editor, Resource Center for a 3-year term starting 1 January 2022. Nominations must be received no later than 5 April 2021.

Signal sampling and reconstruction is a fundamental engineering task at the heart of signal processing. The celebrated Shannon-Nyquist theorem guarantees perfect signal reconstruction from uniform samples, obtained at a rate twice the maximum frequency present in the signal. 

IEEE Signal Processing Society Past President Ali H. Sayed, in his capacity as Chair of the Society’s Nominations and Appointments Committee, invites nominations for the IEEE Signal Processing Society Officer positions of President-Elect for the term 1 January 2022-31 December 2023 and Vice President-Technical Directions for the term 1 January 2022-31 December 2024.

Monte Carlo (MC) methods are a set of fascinating computational techniques that have attracted ever-increasing attention in the last decades. They are based on the simulation of random samples that are used for diverse purposes, such as numerical integration or optimization.
