Candidates whose work directly address issues of equity and access in healthcare are especially encouraged to apply. These areas should not be considered limiting and any candidate who believes their work has direct impact on digital health or at the intersection of health and engineering is encouraged to apply. More experienced senior candidates in the midst of transformative research projects and with particular experience in building institutional equity across their fields may also be considered. The successful applicant will be required to teach undergraduate and graduate courses and build a successful research program.
