The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Georgia Tech College of Engineering and Emory
University School of Medicine (Atlanta, GA) is ranked #1 by US News and World Report. We benefit from a vibrant community of
scientists, engineers, and clinicians and are strongly supported by both
institutions for continued rapid growth in faculty, research and educational
programs. Building on outstanding hires over the past years (https://www.bme.gatech.edu/bme/faculty),
we are currently expanding our faculty
in multiple areas, including at the senior (endowed chair) level.
For 2018-2019, we invite applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at all ranks in the following areas:
- Engineering, Biology, and Manufacturing of
Therapeutic Cells. We seek candidates who can seamlessly interface
between these areas to carry out translation of cell-based therapies or
bring novel approaches to stem cell, immune cell, or other therapeutic
cell engineering and manufacturing. Areas of interest include but are not
limited to big data analytics, modeling, and informatics including deep
learning approaches to understand cell behavior and cell quality; sensors for
cell and cell culture analytics; non-destructive, rapid and image
analytics assisted cellular analyses; genomics and epigenomic tools for
understanding and controlling cell properties; organoid-based disease
models and microphysiological systems; integrated bioreactors and
bioprocessing, and new methods for scalable cell production.
- Cardiovascular
Biomechanics and Bioengineering. We seek candidates with an interest in
developing methods to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases of the
heart, heart valves, vasculature, and lymphatics using novel approaches
such as advanced experimental techniques, patient-specific computational
modeling, imaging informatics, interventional medical devices,
biomaterials, medical robotics, and regenerative medicine. Specific areas of interest include, but
are not limited to, structural heart disease, pediatric cardiovascular
diseases, heart failure, and integrative multi-scale modelling approaches.
- In addition to
the above focus areas, truly exceptional candidates in exciting, leading
edge areas of research are encouraged to apply. Areas could include injury biomechanics, orthopedics, rehabilitation,
medical robotics, bacterial engineering, immunoengineering, cancer
technologies, and neuroengineering, but are not limited to those
listed here.
Additionally, we invite senior
applicants for the Wallace H. Coulter
Distinguished Faculty Chair in Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech.
Successful candidates will be senior faculty with a demonstrated capability to:
(i) lead a highly impactful and translational research program, (ii) provide
outstanding mentorship to trainees and junior faculty, and (iii) enrich and
engage in a collegial Departmental environment. Candidates must have an
internationally recognized track record of discovery and research development, and
be eligible for appointment as a full professor with tenure to continue their
leadership in contemporary engineering and innovation.
Located in Atlanta, The Wallace
H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory
University has a student body of 1,200 undergraduates, 260 graduate students,
and more than 60 primary and 50 program faculty. Since the Department’s
founding, the unique partnership between one of the nation's leading public and
private entities has been an innovation engine of research and education. Together,
we are focused on solving some of the toughest problems facing our state, the
nation, and the world. We are a diverse and international community of faculty,
students and staff who promote equity, diversity, and inclusion on our campuses.
We strive to create and maintain an environment that values and respects our
individual and communal differences, and support a healthy work-life balance.
Candidates must hold a doctoral degree (PhD, MD, or equivalent)
in engineering, medicine, applied mathematics, computer science, or the natural
sciences. Successful candidates will be expected to develop a vibrant externally-funded
research program and to participate in teaching and advising undergraduate and
graduate students. Applications should
be submitted to the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering’s employment
website (see below). Please include: (1) a cover letter describing how your research
could be applied to address important clinical needs and synergize with other research
activities within the Department (https://www.bme.gatech.edu/bme/research);
(2) a statement of research interests, not to exceed 4 pages and
focusing on the impact of the candidate’s proposed research, the underlying
questions, and the approach(es) to be taken; (3) a statement of teaching
interests and philosophy, not to exceed 1 page; (4) a complete curriculum vitae;
and (5) names and complete contact information of at least three professional
references. For inquiries, please contact the BME Search Committee (GT-Emory-Recruiting@bme.gatech.edu)
Applications will be considered starting immediately on a rolling basis. To ensure full consideration, all application materials must be received on or before November 1, 2018.
