Faculty Position in Bioengineering: Lehigh University The P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Lehigh University seeks to fill a tenure-track position in Bioengineering at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor. The college is searching for outstanding individuals who utilize a combination of techniques from biology, engineering, and mathematics to solve bioengineering problems. They will join a growing interdisciplinary group of faculty members that form a cluster at Lehigh University working on Technology for Health. Lehigh also offers many additional opportunities for collaboration across departmental, program, and college boundaries. We seek candidates who will complement existing strengths, develop a strong research program, and collaborate effectively with colleagues at Lehigh. We are particularly interested in applicants with an interest in regenerative medicine. Current areas of interest/expertise on the Lehigh campus include: cellular and tissue mechanics, biofluid dynamics, computational biology, molecular mechanobiology, biomaterials, drug delivery, biopharmaceutical engineering, nanotechnology, BioMEMS, and medical device design. Applicants are required to have a doctorate in a relevant field, and the ability and interest to teach core bioengineering courses. (See http://www.lehigh.edu/bioe/) He/she will be expected to have a strong commitment to high quality undergraduate and graduate engineering education, maintain an active and funded research program, and develop strong partnerships with medical research centers and/or the biotechnology industry. Bioengineering at Lehigh is a multi-disciplinary program that draws its faculty from a number of departments, including Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Chemistry, and Physics. Lehigh has made a long-term commitment to growth in Bioengineering, starting with the establishment of a new undergraduate program in 2002. We launched a new graduate program in 2009, have established a sizable new research facility, the Health Research Hub, and expect to expand faculty strength further. Lehigh University offers several other excellent resources and facilities such as the Genomic and Proteomic Core Analysis Facility, the High Performance Computing Cluster, the Center for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, and the Center for Optical Technologies. Also, Lehigh University is a recipient of an NSF ADVANCE Institutional Transformation award for promoting the careers of women in academic science and engineering.
