Working/Functional Title
Assistant/Associate/Full Professor
Position Summary
The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) and the Institute for Quantitative Health Science and Engineering (IQ) at Michigan State University invite applications for a tenure-system faculty position in the broad area of biomedical research. Candidates must have earned a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biology or related field, with expertise in Neuroengineering. The position will be filled at Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level depending on the qualifications and record of the successful candidate. The candidate is expected to establish a sustainable research program, make significant scholarly contributions to their discipline, be an effective teacher and mentor of both undergraduate and graduate students, and engage in institutional and professional service.
We are interested in developing programs in neuro-nanotechnology, neuroprosthetics, brain-computer and brain-machine interfaces. The research can range from developing microelectronics and nanosensors for brain stimulation and neuronal recordings to developing implantable neuroprosthetics and wireless nanosensors, as well as brain-machine interfaces for neuropresthetic control. We seek exceptional candidates who can develop such program and teach classes on neuroengineering and nanotechnology. The program will be part of the Neuroengineering division.
BME is housed in the new Institute of Quantitative Health Sciences and Engineering (IQ) and has a strong core of imaging scientists who work collaboratively across broad disciplines including: neuroengineering, motion analytics, developmental biology, system biology, synthetic biology, regenerative medicine, chemical biology and biomedical devices with an aim for clinical translation.
