Tenured/Tenure-Track: Open Rank Biomedical Engineering

Location College Station, Texas

Open Date 5/15/2024

Position ID 136991

Description

The Department of Biomedical Engineering in the College of Engineering at Texas A&M University invites applications for tenured or tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant, associate, or full professor levels. Although candidates in all research areas will be considered, we are particularly interested in areas that synergize with our research strengths in biomedical imaging, biosensing, medical devices, regenerative medicine, spectroscopy of biological tissue in frequency and time domain, and biomaterials. Candidates should demonstrate previous success in collaborating across multiple engineering or scientific disciplines. Specifically, this position will focus on applications of biophotonics for cancer treatment and diagnostics as well as for photonics for microbiological control. The incoming candidates should demonstrate a translational approach to research and a commitment to education that is synergistically aligned with the department and the Texas A&M System. Early-career candidates must demonstrate strong potential to build and sustain an extramurally funded and translationally focused research program, while mid-career candidates must have a proven ability to do so as well as a plan to elevate their program with a transition to Texas A&M. In addition, senior candidates should possess proven leadership skills and an established reputation as a scholar. The successful applicants will be required to teach; advise and mentor graduate students; develop an independent, externally funded research program; participate in all aspects of the department’s activities; and serve the profession. Strong written and verbal communication skills are required. Applicants are invited to consult the department’s website to review our academic and research programs (engineering.tamu.edu/biomedical) of our world-renowned faculty and researchers.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M is committed to solving the world’s greatest health problems through the exploration of new ideas, integrated research, and innovation. The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University is producing the next generation of biomedical engineers, developing new technologies, and achieving revolutionary advancements for the future of health care. The department is focused on leadership in regenerative, cancer, and cardiovascular engineering, pediatric technologies, engineering for accessible health care, and biomedical engineering education. Faculty members are recognized internationally for research, with collaborative relationships that span engineering, physical and natural sciences, medicine and veterinary sciences.

The departmental vision is to be a global leader in translational biomedical engineering by researching and developing new medical devices, techniques, and materials, by providing quality teaching, mentoring, and experiential learning, and by excelling in professional and public service.

Qualifications

Applicants must have an earned doctorate in biomedical engineering or a closely related engineering or science discipline.

Application Instructions

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a personal statement (should include your philosophy and plans for research, teaching, and service as applicable), and a list of four references (including postal addresses, phone numbers and email addresses) by applying for this specific position at apply.interfolio.com/144323. Full consideration will be given to applications received by August 15, 2024. Applications received after that date may be considered until the position is filled. It is anticipated the appointment will begin no later than Fall 2025.
