Description
The Department of Biomedical Engineering is dedicated to developing solutions for human health by educating the next generation of biomedical engineers, cultivating leaders, and nurturing the integration of engineering, science, and medicine in a discovery-centered environment.
To help advance this mission, we are seeking an applicant to fill one tenure-track, faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor.
We are interested in candidates who develop new technologies and methods that advance our understanding of the brain and neurological disorders.
Areas of interest include computational neuroscience method development, neural engineering, novel devices and instrumentation for neuroscience applications, neuroimaging, neuromodulation, and translational neuroscience.
Qualifications
Required qualifications include a doctorate in engineering or a related field with a strong record of research accomplishments, publications, and funding appropriate for the applicant's career stage.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach core biomedical engineering courses and to create undergraduate and graduate learning environments that address the needs of students from a variety of socioeconomic and academic backgrounds, with differing learning styles and abilities.
Further, the successful candidate will be expected to develop an externally sponsored research program, mentor graduate students, collaborate with other faculty, and have a commitment to university and professional service.
We seek applicants who have a desire to build collaborations with research centers and institutes on campus such as the Oden Institute for Computational Science and Engineering, the Institute for Neuroscience, and Dell Medical School.
Furthermore, the Department has strong clinical partnerships with a number of medical institutions across Texas, including MD Anderson Cancer Center, UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, and UT Health Science Centers at Houston and San Antonio.
