Boston University - Biomedical Engineering - Tenure Track Faculty Positions

INSTITUTION: Boston University
DEPARTMENT: Biomedical Engineering
POSITION: Tenure Track Faculty Positions
NOTES:
Boston University

Department Biomedical Engineering
Four Open Tenured/Tenure-Track Faculty Positions

The Boston University Department of Biomedical Engineering (BU BME) invites applications for four tenured or tenure-track faculty positions: (1) A senior, tenured faculty position in Synthetic Biology or Cellular Engineering or associated areas; (2) a senior, tenured faculty position in Neural Engineering or associated areas; (3) 1 tenure-track junior faculty position in Synthetic Biology or associated areas; and (4) a tenure-track junior faculty position in Biomedical Engineering, all research areas considered.

BU BME is ranked in the top 10 departments (US News). We attract exceptional talent at all levels of seniority. We have strengths in numerous research areas, boast a wealth of research resources and facilities, and have strong ties to the BU School of Medicine, as well as other top medical research centers in the Boston area. Research expenditures exceed $25M per year. As members of a Coulter Translational Partnership school, faculty can translate research advances into new applications that impact society.

Boston University is an AAU institution with a rich tradition dedicated to inclusion and social justice. We are proud that we were the first American university to award a PhD to a woman and that Martin Luther King Jr. received his PhD here. We are dedicated to increasing the participation of all talented students and are committed to the pursuit of engineering by underrepresented groups at BU and beyond.

Senior hires, who will hold a tenured appointment in BME, must hold a PhD in an appropriate area, have a strong history of external funding, and be internationally recognized for distinguished contributions in their fields. Successful candidates will be expected to maintain a robust, extramurally funded research program building on existing strengths and new collaborations, and to mentor junior researchers effectively. Junior hires, who will hold tenure-track appointments in BME, must hold a PhD in an appropriate area, have postdoctoral experience and show potential for leading an independent and vibrant research program. BU also places high value on excellence in teaching. For more information, please visit: www.bu.edu/eng; www.bu.edu/bme; http://www.bu.edu/today/2014/science-gets-a-front-door-on-comm-ave/ .
