Working title:

Professor - Biomedical Engineering

Official title:

PROFESSOR(C20NN) or ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR(C30NN) or ASSISTANT PROFESSOR(C40NN)

Degree and area of specialization:

Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering or other area related to biomedical engineering.

Minimum number of years and type of relevant work experience:

Appointment will be at the Assistant Professor level or higher. For a tenured position, candidates should have the following: at least 6 years in a university faculty position or government or industrial research position; demonstrated track record of national leadership in biomedical engineering, with academic accomplishments as a scholar and teacher that meet the standards for a tenured appointment in the Biomedical Engineering Department.

Principal duties:

The University of Wisconsin, Department of Biomedical Engineering, is seeking faculty members with research interests in one of the following areas:

Cell Mechanics: cell structural mechanics, transport phenomena, cell-surface interaction, interaction with the physical environment, and the mechanisms by which mechanical forces lead to biochemical and molecular responses or cell fate differentiation.

Biomedical Molecular Imaging: noninvasive in vivo investigation of cellular molecular events involved in normal and pathologic processes, spectroscopic techniques at the cellular or molecular levels for medical diagnostics or basic research.

Neuroengineering: neural instrumentation, prostheses and interfaces (including BioMEMS), neural signal processing, neuralimaging, neural repair and regeneration (including stem cell therapies), hybrid neural systems, computational neurosciences, and clinical neuroengineering.

Stem Cell Bioengineering: use of bioengineering approaches to elucidate basic stem cell related mechanisms of development
and disease, or biomaterials and matrixes for facilitating tissue engineering using stem cells.

Bio-Nano Technology: cellular interactions with nano-pattern surfaces, bio-nano materials, bio-nano sensors, bio-nano
imaging, quantum dot technology, self assembling materials, nano-scale manufacturing.

Biophotonics: optical instrumentation, development and application of novel photonic techniques for biological, and biomedical research that complement and extend existing research in the Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation (LOCI, http://www.loci.wisc.edu).

Research focused on pathological conditions (e.g. cancer) is of strong interest. Candidates will be expected to develop an
innovative research program, advise graduate students and post-graduate research, and develop and maintain extramural
funding for this research program; teach undergraduate and graduate courses and develop new courses; participate in outreach and service to industry and government; and participate in faculty governance activities in department, college, and/or university.
