The MIT Department of Biological Engineering in Cambridge, MA invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant professor level, to begin July 1, 2022 or on a mutually agreeable date thereafter. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in a science or engineering discipline related to biological engineering by the beginning of employment. A more senior faculty appointment may be considered in special cases commensurate on experience. Candidates should aspire to lead a research program that fuses molecular/cellular bioscience with quantitative engineering analysis/synthesis approaches.
Areas of high priority include non-medical biotechnology, including applications in materials, chemicals, agriculture, sustainability, energy and the environment. Faculty duties include teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels as well as oversight of research, and candidates should be capable of instructing in our core biological engineering educational curricula. Candidates must register with the BE search website at http://be-fac-search.mit.edu, and must submit application materials electronically to this website.
Candidate applications should include a description of professional interests and goals in both teaching and research. Each application should include a curriculum vita and the names and addresses of three or more references who will provide recommendation letters. References should submit their letters directly at the http://be-fac-search.mit.edu website. Applications received by February 28, 2022 will be given priority.
