Junior Faculty Position

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin is seeking highly qualified applicants at the Assistant Professor level.

The department is dedicated to developing clinically translatable solutions for human health by training the next generation of biomedical engineers, cultivating leaders, and nurturing the integration of engineering, science, and medicine in a discovery-centered environment.

The BME Department at UT Austin has strong clinical partnerships with a number of medical institutions across the State of Texas, including the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and the University of Texas Health Science Centers at Houston and San Antonio.

Candidates are sought in the broad area of biological sensing, diagnostic imaging and image guidance of therapy with a particular emphasis on development of contrast agents for optical, ultrasound, MR and nuclear medicine imaging. The ideal candidate would complement the department’s existing strengths in biomedical imaging and instrumentation.

Required qualifications include a doctorate degree in engineering or a related field. Applicants must have an outstanding record of research accomplishments, a strong interest in undergraduate and graduate teaching in biomedical engineering and a commitment to professional service. The successful candidate will be expected to teach biomedical engineering undergraduate and graduate courses, develop a sponsored research program,
supervise graduate students, collaborate with other faculty in and outside the department, and be involved in service to the university and the profession.

Interested persons should submit a detailed curriculum vitae including academic and professional experience and peer reviewed publications, a statement of research and teaching goals as related to our departmental focus (see http://www.bme.utexas.edu), and the names and email addresses of three or more references. Application materials should be submitted electronically to the address below.
