Full Time Tenure Track Faculty Member

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) invites applications for full-time tenure-track faculty positions. The Department offers an interdisciplinary research and education program housed within a top-ranked College of Engineering. Innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and problem solving reflect the spirit of Carnegie Mellon. We look forward to you joining us to make an impact on the future of medicine through interdisciplinary engineering innovation. Our faculty members benefit from a strong university-wide collaborative culture, generous research support, modest teaching loads, outstanding students, and comprehensive benefits. Initiated in the 1960's, Biomedical Engineering at CMU has a rich history of research, innovation, and clinical application. There are exceptional opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations with other engineering departments; departments outside of engineering such as computer science, biology, neuroscience, machine learning, and robotics; and clinicians at major medical centers in greater Pittsburgh and the Mayo Clinic.

We welcome applications from outstanding candidates with expertise in either immunoengineering or biomedical artificial intelligence. Appointments will generally be made at the assistant professor level, but exceptional candidates at a more advanced level will also be considered. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering or a related field and demonstrate evidence of excellence in research and dedication to teaching and mentoring. Successful candidates will be expected to develop an internationally recognized, externally funded, and highly collaborative research program and provide excellent classroom instruction and supportive student mentoring. Carnegie Mellon values interdisciplinary collaboration, and thus we welcome applicants with an interest in a joint position with another Department across the College of Engineering.
