Faculty Openings
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Virginia invites
applications from qualified candidates for two faculty positions in
the area of biomedical engineering.
Our Department recently received one of the nine national Coulter
Translational Research Partnership Awards. The department
moved into a new, state-of-the-art Biomedical
Engineering and Biomedical Science building in the School of Medicine in
February, 2002 and has new space in a nanotechnology building completed in 2006 as well as
space in a medical research building opening in 2008.
Senior candidates should have an outstanding international research reputation
in biomedical engineering and a track record of interdisciplinary collaboration.
Junior candidates should have outstanding research potential and educational
vision. A Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering or a related discipline is
required. Particular areas of interest include:
- molecular and cellular engineering
- nano- and microsystems
- regenerative medicine
- computational and systems bioengineering
- biomedical imaging, including molecular imaging
Candidates whose research has impact on vascular disease, musculoskeletal
disorders, and cancer are particularly encouraged to apply.
BME is located adjacent to the Cardiovascular Research
Center in an integrated building, interacts closely with Orthopedic Surgery
and is developing collaborations with the Cancer Center.
Applicants must be able to teach core undergraduate and graduate courses,
and be willing to help grow our innovative curriculum
in biomedical engineering.
The University of Virginia grounds are a national historic site, founded by
Thomas Jefferson to attract the greatest minds of the age, a commitment that
continues today.
The BME department is one of the oldest in the nation, and is consistently
ranked among the top fifteen departments. -
The School of Engineering and Applied
Science houses outstanding programs in nanotechnology, engineered surfaces,
distributed computing systems, and microelectronics.
-
The
School of Medicine has leading
programs in cardiovascular sciences, cell signaling, adhesion, and migration,
developmental biology, medical imaging, morphogenesis and regenerative
medicine, and cancer biology.
Charlottesville is a beautiful, family-oriented community with an urbane downtown
life and nearby national parks in the Blue Ridge mountains. The city is within
easy driving distance of Washington, D.C. and the coastal regions of Virginia
and the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Interested individuals should forward their resume, a summary of research and
teaching plans, and the names of five professional references by email to
tskalak@virginia.edu
or by mail to
Dr. Thomas C. Skalak
Chair, Department of Biomedical Engineering
Box 800759, Health System
