ABOUT THE WPI DEPARTMENT OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING:
The WPI Department of Biomedical Engineering (www.wpi.edu/+BME) delivers a vibrant ABET-accredited undergraduate BME program with approximately 500 undergraduate and 70 graduate students pursuing BS, MS, MEng, and Ph.D. degrees. Our collegial and diverse faculty work collaboratively in providing exceptional teaching and mentoring in the context of progressive interdisciplinary research to solve some of the most complex societal problems. 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. WPI's campus is located in Worcester, Massachusetts, a thriving 21st century college city recognized as a growing hub of scientific and technological innovation about one hour west of Boston. WPI also has a joint Ph.D. program with the University of Massachusetts Medical School, located 2 miles from WPI, which offers additional research opportunities with over 30 biomedical research clusters. WPI is passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. We are looking for candidates who can support our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.
WPI's reputation as a rigorous and innovative university rests on the shoulders of its faculty. A highly selective, private technological university and one of the nation's first, WPI believes that when great minds work together, great advances follow. At WPI, the boundaries to multidisciplinary collaboration are low. Faculty members, students, and other partners work collaboratively on real-world projects and purposeful research that are hallmarks of the WPI experience. Our department and institute are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and respected; a place where every student, faculty and staff member can be themselves, irrespective of their race, class, gender, or sexual orientation, so that they can study, live, and work comfortably to reach their full potential and make meaningful contributions to meet personal, departmental, and institutional goals. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, separate teaching and research statements - each elucidating experience, interests, and leadership - a diversity statement, and the names and email addresses for five references.
