ASSISTANT PROFESSOR FACULTY POSITION IN Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the Area of Prosthetics
The University of California at Davis has a tenure-track position available in the area of Prosthetics. The appointment is at the Assistant Professor level in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering. However, the research program of a successful candidate is expected to integrate campus strengths in engineering, neurosciences, and medicine. Candidates interested in helping lead efforts to integrate these disciplines on the UC Davis campus, possibly as part of a new Initiative for Neuroengineering & Medicine, are encouraged to apply. The current position is part of a cluster of hires that will also include associated positions in neurobiology/motor control and brain-computer interfaces. Interdisciplinary collaborations with other departments within the College of Engineering, School of Veterinary Medicine, School of Medicine, College of Biological Sciences and College of Letters and Science are highly desirable and encouraged through a strong campus Graduate Group system.
We encourage candidates from all specialties within the discipline of Prosthetics. In Prosthetics, possible areas include artificial limbs, human-machine interfaces, exoskeletons, cochlear and retinal implants, and any other devices that assist or treat people with disability, or enhance human capabilities. Outstanding candidates in other areas of Prosthetics will also be considered.UC Davis is one of few universities in the nation that houses a College of Engineering, School of Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Neuroscience programs (including the Neuroscience Graduate Program, the Center for Neuroscience, the Center for Mind & Brain, and the M.I.N.D.
