Harvey Mudd College invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in biomedical engineering within our General Engineering program. The Department of Engineering seeks a new colleague with experience and knowledge in biomedical engineering who can excel in teaching a broadly-based undergraduate curriculum
(https://www.hmc.edu/engineering/curriculum/). Candidates working at the interfaces of engineering disciplines who can help students make connections across fields are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants should demonstrate commitment to teaching excellence, professional growth, and promoting equity and inclusion among diverse students and colleagues. A Ph.D. or equivalent (terminal) degree in engineering or a closely related field is required. Industrial or other practical experience in the field is highly valued. The appointments are anticipated to be at the assistant or associate professor level. Teaching opportunities include the department’s required courses in engineering sciences, participation on teaching teams in the design and systems engineering sequences, supervising sponsored projects in the Engineering Clinic program, and developing courses in the applicant’s area of specialty. All faculty at Harvey Mudd College contribute to the college’s Core Curriculum, which includes introductory courses from each department, a first-year course in writing, as well as a course centered on the relationship between science and society. Candidates should provide evidence of excellence in teaching and their ability to increase students’ general and multidisciplinary engineering skills. Harvey Mudd is a highly selective undergraduate liberal arts college emphasizing science, mathematics, and engineering. Many forms of professional engagement are celebrated at the college including consulting and academic publishing in a wide variety of fields. Candidates should discuss how the Harvey Mudd environment would provide opportunities for professional growth in research, consulting, or other forms of scholarship, and how undergraduate students might be engaged in these activities. Among the criteria for appointment is a commitment to equitable and inclusive teaching and mentoring of all students. Candidates from groups historically underrepresented in engineering are encouraged to apply. Application process We will review applications in two stages. For the initial application, please submit only an anonymized 2-3 page cover letter. We ask for this to be anonymized to mitigate unconscious biases that might compromise a fair assessment of the strengths of your application. Your letter should address 1) your interest in undergraduate education and Harvey Mudd College in particular, 2) your teaching experience and strengths, 3) how your research/professional background will contribute to the education of our students, 4) how you will develop professionally at Harvey Mudd, and 5) your experiences and future plans for promoting equity and inclusion at Harvey Mudd. Note that “anonymized” does not mean that the applicant in any way obscures the specific engineering content of their work and plans. However, omission of names of people (your own and colleagues’), institutions, and journals will permit fair assessment of your potential strengths as a faculty member at Harvey Mudd. Do not use institutional letterhead. Identifying information entered on the application web site will not be viewed by the committee in this first stage. See an example* below of anonymized letter content. Candidates selected for second stage review will be invited to submit the following materials with a lead time of at least two weeks:
