The College of Engineering Department of Bioengineering together with the College of Science Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Northeastern University invites applications for tenured or tenure-track appointments at the assistant, associate or full professor level. We seek exceptional candidates in the area of Mechanobiology who can apply innovative methodologies and uncover novel design principles and strategies to create impactful solutions to emerging societal problems in the areas of sustainability and health.

We seek individuals with passionate interest in understanding the rules governing the interplay between mechanical forces and living systems at the molecular, cellular, tissue and/or whole organism scales. There is growing realization of the importance of mechanical forces in shaping and controlling development, growth and regenerative processes in biology and the clinical implications of these interactions are profound. The individuals sought will join a University-wide cohort of investigators focused on this area, including researchers in Bioengineering, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Biology and Chemical, Mechanical Engineering and Environmental Engineering.
