Faculty Position in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering

The University of Rochester invites applications for a tenure-track position with joint appointments in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Biomedical Engineering (BME) in the Edmund A. Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Applicants at the assistant professor level are preferred, but exceptional candidates at all ranks will be considered having research interests in biosolid or biofluid mechanics that complement existing strengths at the University of Rochester in areas such as molecular, cellular, and tissue mechanics, cardiovascular mechanics, musculoskeletal mechanics, medical imaging (including biomedical ultrasound), or biomaterials are particularly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate is expected to have exceptional potential to establish a strong interdisciplinary research program and to teach innovative graduate and undergraduate courses for both the Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering Departments.

The Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is a short walk from the University of Rochester’s Medical Center and School of Medicine and Dentistry, one of the original recipients of an NIH award ($40M) to establish a Clinical and Translational Science Institute. An exceptionally rich and highly collaborative environment exists for both basic and clinical research.

Review of candidates will commence August 30, 2009 and continue until the position is filled.

Applicants should send the following to Dr. Sheryl M. Gracewski

• A CV
• Recent reprints
• A statement of research and teaching interests and plans
• The names of at least four references

The departments are committed to increasing the diversity of the campus community and the curriculum. Candidates who can contribute to that goal are encouraged to apply and to identify their strengths and experiences in this area. The University of Rochester is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.

Senior Faculty Position in Biomedical Engineering

The University of Rochester invites applications for a senior level faculty position in the Department of Biomedical Engineering in the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Applicants must be established investigators with outstanding accomplishments in Biomedical Engineering (BME) with qualifications for appointment as Associate or full Professor. Preference will be given to applicants whose research interests lie in the area of Biomedical Optics. The successful candidate is expected to provide leadership as an independent, extramurally funded investigator and to participate in departmental teaching programs. The University of Rochester is embarking on a new strategic plan with targeted growth in areas related to biomedical optics, biomedical imaging, and nanomedicine.

The new BME building is co-located and shared with the internationally-renowned Institute of Optics, which includes biomedical optics research groups in the areas of retinal imaging, biomedical microscopy, biospectroscopy, and photodynamic therapy. The BME building is a short walk from the University of Rochester Medical Center, one of the original recipients of an NIH award ($40M) to establish a Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Thus we offer an exceptionally rich environment for both clinical and basic science collaboration. Review of candidates will continue until the position is filled.
