The Duke University Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical and Materials Science in the Pratt School of Engineering are seeking applicants for multiple Assistant Professor faculty positions in the targeted areas of Computational, Digital, and Robotic Systems for Health. As such, appointments may be with a single department or multiple departments, depending on the circumstances of each individual.  All applicants with skills and research interests that fall within the scope of this search will be given full consideration. Early career researchers doing innovative work in all areas of computational modeling, virtual/augmented reality, machine learning, robotics, haptics, real-time imaging, medical autonomy, and internet of medical things (IoMT) and/or ubiquitous sensors explicitly applied to assisting clinical practice are encouraged to apply. Information on the cutting edge, multidisciplinary research and teaching of the Pratt School of Engineering can be found at https://pratt.duke.edu/. We consistently rank among the top undergraduate and graduate engineering programs in country. In addition, the Duke Engineering and Medicine campuses are directly connected with each other.  As such, we are a driving force in creating engineering knowledge, computational tools, and novel biomedical technology that improve the human condition through the advancement of clinical care and biomedical science.  We work closely with medical professionals to identify important clinical problems that impact human health and solve them using our technical expertise. We engage motivated and talented students in the classroom, laboratory and clinic, imparting to them the spirit of our mission as we prepare them for future careers as effective, knowledgeable, and ethical leaders in corporate, professional, and academic communities. 

Duke University and the Pratt School of Engineering are strongly committed to advancing inclusive excellence throughout our research, teaching, and service activities. A diverse faculty – defined broadly as representing a wide range of identities, lived experiences, and perspectives – is a prerequisite for excellence and is essential to driving innovation within our scholarly community. To achieve these goals, it is essential that all members of the community feel valued and welcome, that the contributions of all individuals are respected, and that all voices are heard. All members of our community are expected to uphold these values, and we seek to hire faculty who are passionate about increasing the participation and success of individuals from all different backgrounds and communities. Please note that Duke specifically seeks information about past misconduct or policy violations and/or relevant pending investigations as part of the application process. Disclosures will not be an automatic bar to hiring but, instead, will initiate further dialogue regarding past actions.
