Description
The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) in Dallas, TX invites applications for a full-time tenured/tenure track faculty position in neural engineering. Highly qualified senior postdoctoral fellows with outstanding publications and extramural research funding may be eligible for UTSW's prestigious Endowed Scholars program and are strongly encouraged to apply.
We are especially interested in candidates who will provide inspirational leadership in research and initiate collaborative opportunities across the medical center. BME faculty work closely with clinical and basic research faculty in the highly collaborative UTSW Medical Center environment, translating new technologies into medical solutions. All faculty members are expected to be enthusiastic mentors to trainees and actively engage in the teaching mission of the department.
Responsibilities
The successful candidate is expected to develop innovative clinically translatable technologies and solutions to challenging clinical conditions. Grounded on exceptionally strong neuroscience and neurology research at UTSW, the candidate will also integrate with a network of researchers at the world-class Peter O'Donnell Jr. Brain Institute.
This research focused position will include responsibility for teaching graduate students and mentoring trainees. Specific focus areas of research are open but may include brain-machine interfaces, neuroimaging, neurostimulation, robotics, neuroinformatics and implantable or wearable neuro devices.
About the Department of Biomedical Engineering
The UTSW Department of Biomedical Engineering is one of the few placed solely within a medical center, with no undergraduate program. We aim to drive programmatic integration in biomedical engineering and address emerging clinical and scientific challenges in medicine and biology using innovative technologies. Anchored by outstanding faculty, motivated trainees and exceptional clinical and engineering infrastructure the department strives to create innovative systems and methods that will play an active role in transforming the current disease care system into a genuine health care enterprise.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have earned a Ph.D., an M.D. or an equivalent degree in Biomedical Engineering or a related field. A demonstrated potential for innovations in neural engineering is desirable. Highly competitive applicants will have education and/or experience in one or more of the following:
