The Department of Biomedical Engineering encourages applications from individuals who work at the interface of artificial intelligence (AI), data science, or advanced computing with any sub-discipline of biomedical engineering. As the physical, digital and biological domains continue to merge as the 4th Industrial Revolution progresses, healthcare and biomedical engineering are well poised to lead society in redefining who and what we are. The Michigan Technological University will be a world leader in this revolution. We are particularly interested in recruiting assistant professors who conduct research in biological computing, in the interface of AI and synthetic biology, who develop AI tools and techniques to improve upon and create new smart implantable and external medical devices, who use the strengths of data science and AI to improve medical imaging and diagnostics, or apply AI and advanced computing tools to tissue & stem cell engineering and biomaterials design. Individuals with related expertise and interests are also strongly encouraged to apply. Senior level individuals with exceptional records will also be considered. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an externally funded research program in their area of interest while leading collaboration with other faculty, engage in both undergraduate and graduate teaching and contribute to professional service.
