The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) seeks to
fill two tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor level. Hiring at the
Associate Professor rank will be considered for outstanding candidates. Desired
areas of core expertise relate to biomedical or biotechnology applications
including, but not limited to, protein structure/function, formulation and
delivery of therapeutics, cell and tissue engineering, biomaterials,
biosensors, and engineering technologies to study or control the function of
biomolecules and cells. Successful candidates will demonstrate a strong
potential to build an externally supported research program and an ability to
address novel and ever-changing challenges in bioengineering. Candidates must
hold a doctoral degree in chemical or biomedical engineering or a related
discipline and must also be able to teach in the chemical engineering
curriculum. Favorable consideration will be given to candidates who demonstrate
a strong promise for interdisciplinary research and the capacity to work
effectively with a diverse faculty and student body. The anticipated start date
for these positions is July 2015. Electronic submission of applications is
required at http://apply.interfolio.com/25704.
All applications must be submitted as a single pdf file and include a cover
letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests, and

The Department of Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental
Engineering (CBEE) is a vital component of the College of Engineering and
Information Technology with almost 300 undergraduate and 50 graduate
students, 11 tenure-track faculty, two full-time lecturers, and one Professor
of the Practice. Current departmental research focuses on biochemical,
biomedical, bioprocess, environmental, and water resources engineering. CBEE
faculty members actively collaborate with researchers from the nearby
University of Maryland School of Medicine and regularly participate in major
interdisciplinary research centers at UMBC, namely the Center for Advanced Sensor
Technologies and the Center for Urban Environmental Research and Education.
Construction on a new Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building is
scheduled to start in 2017 will provide 123,000 GSF of flexible and
adaptable research and education spaces to support on-going and future
interdisciplinary life science programs.
At the undergraduate level, the department has tracks in three
areas: Traditional Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology/ Bioengineering, and
Environmental Engineering and Sustainability. All three tracks lead to the B.S.
degree in Chemical Engineering. At the graduate level, the department offers
M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering and
Environmental Engineering. The CBEE faculty maintains diverse, active, and
successful research programs amounting to almost $ 5 million in external
research support in FY2014. UMBC is a public research university with 13,900
students. The campus is located on 500 acres in the Baltimore-Washington
corridor within an hour’s drive to many federal facilities including the
National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Environmental
Protection Agency, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Food and
Drug Administration, Department of Defense, and NASA Goddard Space Flight
Center. The bwtech@UMBC Research and Technology Park, a 71-acre community
housing over 110 companies engaged in research, entrepreneurship, and economic
development, sits adjacent to the UMBC campus. BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport is
five minutes away, as are AMTRAK and light rail stations. UMBC’s close
proximity and easy access to a wide variety of research facilities provide
numerous opportunities for collaborative interdisciplinary research.
UMBC is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer,
minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
