Title: Assistant Professor Position in Biomedical Engineering
(Rehabilitation Engineering Core)
Applications Due: 10-15-2015
The UNC-NC State University Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering (www.bme.unc.edu) is seeking to fill a 9-month tenure-track position in Rehabilitation Engineering at the rank of Assistant Professor. The Rehabilitation Engineering Core (REC) group of faculty in our department conducts basic and applied research focusing on the neuromechanics of movement, development and assessment of assistive or therapeutic technologies to restore the function of persons with physical disabilities, and translation of developed technologies to clinics and end users outside a laboratory setting. Current strengths include prosthetics and orthotics, neuromotor rehabilitation, neural technologies, neuromechanics of aging, and outcomes-based musculoskeletal modeling and simulation.
We encourage candidates conducting basic and applied research in the areas of: (1) motor control and motor learning with focus on human-machine interaction, (2) rehabilitation-oriented muscle physiology (3) ‘smart integration of human and environments’ for rehabilitation, and (4) innovative therapeutic or assistive technologies with potential to transform rehabilitation practice from the clinic to the community. Outstanding candidates in other areas of Rehabilitation Engineering will also be considered.
The BME Department is a unique program that bridges the School of Medicine and College of Arts and Sciences at UNC and the College of Engineering at NC State University. Furthermore, the resources of the UNC-NC State Rehabilitation Engineering Core (http://rec.bme.unc.edu/), Human Movement Science Program at UNC (http://hmsc.unc.edu), NSF ERC ASSIST Center at NC State, and NC State College of Veterinary Medicine provide powerful opportunities for Rehabilitation Engineering faculty to develop multidisciplinary and translational collaborations.
The qualified candidate must have a Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering, or a related discipline. Successful applicants will have already established a highly competitive independent research program, or will otherwise possess the clear potential to do so. The candidate must have the ability to collaborate with basic researchers and/or clinical investigators. Clinical experience in working with patient populations is a plus. Candidates will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and graduate student education, likely teaching classes in areas of rehabilitation engineering, biomedical instrumentation, and neural engineering. The selected candidate will have a primary appointment at NC State University, with tenure home in the College of Engineering. Lab space will be on the Centennial Campus at NC State University. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with clinical departments in the School of Medicine at UNC and will have access to the resources at both NC State University and UNC.
Women, members of minority groups, and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply. Applications should include a cover letter, CV, detailed statement of research program and interests, teaching statement, and the names and contact information of at least three references.
Application procedure: Applicants should complete an online application at https://jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/56123.
Application deadline: October 15, 2015
Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering: http://www.bme.ncsu.edu/
