Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) invites applications for two tenure-track or tenured faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level in the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) (www.wpi.edu/+BME).

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in BME or a closely related field. We especially encourage applicants with an expertise in biomanufacturing, precision medicine, neural prosthetics/engineering, wearable/smart sensors, or other areas that synergize with our existing research areas (cellular/tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, biomechanics, biomaterials, bioinstrumentation, and imaging). We are looking for individuals who value creativity, diversity, inclusion, and collaboration. The BME department expects faculty to be involved in a balance of research, teaching, and service, including formal teaching, as well as mentoring student projects at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral level.

The Department delivers a vibrant ABET-accredited undergraduate BME program with approximately 420 undergraduate and 50 graduate students pursuing MS, MEng, and Ph.D. degrees. The BME department also houses several programs such as an NSF IGERT with the mission of training leaders in Biofabrication and an NSF REU program focused on training female and underrepresented minority students. The BME Department is housed in the WPI Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center at Gateway Park (www.wpi.edu/Admin/LSBC/index.html), a state-of-the art, mixed-use research facility dedicated to biomedical and life sciences research.
