DEPARTMENT: College of Engineering
POSITION: Multiple Positions - Networked Wireless Nanoelectronic Implants
LINK: https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/InfoFor/Employment
NOTES:
Implantable
networks of wireless nanoelectronic devices will enable multi-pathology
treatment through physically distributed networks of nanoscale wireless sensors
and actuators, leading to a paradigm shift in medical treatment. This is one of
four priority areas for hiring selected by Purdue University’s College of
Engineering for the coming year. These areas, chosen from among 32 that
competed this fall, were selected because of their potential for dramatic
impact and international preeminence.
Description: We are seeking three highly
qualified, creative individuals with substantial experience in technologies to
enable implantable networks of wireless nanoelectronics devices. Areas of
emphasis include biosensing, packaging, or energy harvesting, but applicants in
other areas enabling implantable medical devices are encouraged to apply. New
faculty are sought to build strong research programs that deliver this paradigm
shift by working in collaboration with Purdue's Center for Implantable Devices,
the National Science Foundation / Semiconductor Research Corporation NEEDS
(Nano-Engineered Electronic Device Simulation) initiative led by Purdue, and
the largest neurosurgical group in the United States: Goodman Campbell Brain
and Spine in Indianapolis. The goal is preeminence in medical device
research combined with extraordinary clinical impact.
Diversity: Purdue University is committed to the
development of a multicultural environment. We value the input of multiple
viewpoints and perspectives across the university; our goal is to create an
academic community that is rich with cultural, social and intellectual
diversity.
Qualifications: We are seeking highly qualified and
creative individuals who share our vision of realizing implantable networks of
wireless nanoelectronic devices. Candidates must hold a PhD in
Engineering Science or a related field. The focus is at the associate
professor level or above, with demonstrated research and teaching experience,
but outstanding individuals at all levels with academic or industrial
experience will be considered. New faculty members will be expected to develop
strong, externally-funded research programs, develop and teach innovative
curricula, and help advance the frontiers of knowledge within and outside of
collaborations with other current and future members of this preeminent team.
Applications should include a letter
of interest, CV, academic transcripts, statements of approach,
vision for research and teaching, and names and contact
information for five references. Please go to https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/InfoFor/Employment to apply. If you
cannot submit your application at this website, please contact Ms. Marion
Ragland at ragland@purdue.edu.
Questions regarding the position may
be addressed to the chair of the search committee Professor Pedro Irazoqui – pip@purdue.edu.
A background check will be required for employment in this position.
Review of
applications begins December 12, 2013, and continues until the positions are
filled.
Purdue University is an equal
opportunity /equal access /affirmative action employer fully committed to
achieving a diverse workforce.
