Faculty Position
Department of Bioengineering
Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE)
University of California, Riverside
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) (http://www.bioeng.ucr.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track or a tenured faculty position beginning the 2019/20 academic year. While we are especially interested in the areas of neuro-engineering, imaging, and cellular and molecular engineering, exceptional candidates in other areas of Bioengineering will be considered. We are mainly interested in applicants at the Assistant Professor level; however, senior applicants at the Associate or Full Professor levels will be considered.
The department is currently home to 18 core faculty members. Its interdisciplinary research and educational training effort extends through the Bioengineering Interdepartmental Graduate (BIG) Program, which encompasses 50 additional UCR faculty members. The department offers BS, BS/MS, MS, and PhD degrees, with a current enrollment of approximately 60 graduate and 350 undergraduate students. Our graduate program is a gender-balanced blend of US and international students, with two-thirds of the PhD students being domestic, and of those, one-fourth are underrepresented minorities. The BS degree program in Bioengineering is fully accredited by ABET since 2011.
Full Consideration will be given to applications received by December 21, 2018. Applications will continue to be received until the positions are filled. A doctoral degree in a relevant engineering discipline or closely related field is required at the start of service. Candidates are expected to develop externally-funded research programs. Commitment to teaching and advising undergraduate and graduate students is essential. Salary is commensurate with education and experience. Notably, individuals from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
