The Biomedical Engineering Department (BME, www.bme.udel.edu) at the University of Delaware (UD) invites applications for a tenure-track/tenured faculty position in Computational Modeling and/or Imaging. Research areas may include, but is not limited to, predictive modeling of physiological mechanisms in health and disease, advanced methods of biomedical data analysis, acquisition or reconstruction algorithms for imaging/sensing, and automated analysis/interpretation of high-dimensional biomedical imaging data.

Launched in 2010, UD BME is ABET accredited with world-class research programs in neuroengineering and disease modeling, cell and tissue engineering, drug delivery and nanomedicine, and musculoskeletal biomechanics. Biomedical Modeling, Imaging, and Data Analysis are built into our curriculum at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and we have a strong history of collaboration between experimental and computational researchers. UD BME strives for an inclusive and equitable culture and has ambitious plans to continue growing. Successful applicants will share our vision to be a BME department that is nationally recognized for high-impact research and for delivering an exceptional engineering education. We seek creative individuals, who are eager to work in a collaborative environment, have demonstrated research excellence, have the drive to be leaders in their field, and are high-quality teachers and mentors who are dedicated to incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion in their work.

UD BME has new state-of-the-art research laboratories located on the STAR (Science, Technology, and Advanced Research) campus, a hub of health and innovation at UD. Core facilities include: the Center for Biomedical and Brain Imaging (3T human and 9.4T small animal/specimen MRI), the Delaware Biotechnology Institute (containing our world-class Bio-Imaging Center, DNA sequencing & genotyping, bioinformatics, and proteomics cores), the Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence and High-Performance Computing Network (with three HPC clusters), the Delaware Center for Musculoskeletal Research Multiscale Assessments Research Core (attached to the UD vivarium and includes multiple small animal imaging systems and biomechanical testing systems), Nanofabrication (cleanroom, materials characterization, and advanced microscopy), and core labs for human-based studies. Access to active outpatient clinics is fostered through long-standing partnerships with our number one ranked Physical Therapy department. UD BME also enjoys close relationships and opportunities for innovative clinical and translational collaborations with Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, Thomas Jefferson University, the School of Veterinary Medicine and School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and others. The campus in Newark, Delaware provides a vibrant college town with convenient access to the major cities of the East Coast.

Candidates must have a PhD degree in engineering or a related field. Applicants should submit a 1) cover letter, 2) curriculum vitae, 3) research vision statement, 4) teaching and mentoring statement, 5) diversity, equity, and inclusion statement, and 6) contact information for at least 4 references for consideration.
