UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA
BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING PROFESSOR OF PRACTICE
POSITION AVAILABLE
BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING PROFESSOR OF PRACTICE
POSITION AVAILABLE
The Gallogly College of Engineering at the University of Oklahoma is embarking on an exciting new era as a result of recently announced significant gifts to establish the Peggy and Charles Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME), including a new undergraduate degree program. The new school combines current major research thrusts in biomedical imaging, nanomedicine, and neuroengineering, along with existing strengths in graduate degree programs developed under a Whittaker Special Opportunity Award: biomedical imaging; biomechanics; bioelectricity; bioinstrumentation; and molecular, cellular, and tissue engineering. The SBME also leverages long-standing collaborations with clinicians and researchers of the nearby University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, especially the Stephenson Cancer Center, as well as other researchers in the state. SBME will welcome the first undergraduate students in Fall 2016 and will occupy Gallogly Hall, a new building in the engineering quadrangle, scheduled for completion in Fall 2018.
The new baccalaureate degree builds on the Gallogly College commitment to experiential learning and a fifteen-year history of graduate education through the University of Oklahoma (OU) Biomedical Engineering Center. Accordingly, the curriculum will have a strong emphasis on laboratory-based courses. The SBME is hiring several faculty members over the next five years. With a target start date on or before August 2016, this invitation to apply is timely for active involvement in developing the lab course curricula and in planning and equipping the laboratory facilities. The successful candidate will be eligible for appointment as a renewable term Assistant Professor, although appointment at the rank of Associate Professor is negotiable, based on qualifications.
This position presents the opportunity to exercise passion for experiential engineering education as the new faculty member develops and deploys translational learning experiences that integrate the research strengths into a wide selection of required laboratory courses. Joining the Gallogly College also offers the opportunity to collaborate with the Sooner Engineering Education (SEED) Center for discipline-based educational research. Existing SBME faculty are active in the SEED Center learning community.
CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in a relevant field and demonstrated experience within an
ABET/EAC accredited biomedical engineering or bioengineering program, through attaining at least one degree (B.S., MS, Ph.D) therein. Laboratory instruction and/or curriculum development is highly desirable. Postdoctoral and/or industrial experience are beneficial.
APPLICATION PROCESS
Confidential review of nominations, indications of interest and applications will begin February 1, 2016. Candidates are invited to submit a letter of interest describing teaching and research interests, vision statements of research and education, detailed curriculum vita, and names of three references who will be contacted only upon approval from the applicant. Electronic submission in PDF format is preferred, and all application information and inquiries should be directed to the search committee chair:
