Founded in 2003, the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering is a unique collaboration between the the top-ranked College of Engineering at North Carolina State University (NC State), the excellent clinical and translational environment of the nationally ranked UNC Hospitals and School of Medicine, and the strong academic and research core of the UNC College of Arts and Sciences. The Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering is a supportive and collaborative environment, and we welcome candidates whose research, teaching, or service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and inclusion in higher education. The new faculty member will have already developed or will be expected to establish a successful interdisciplinary research program, and actively participate in graduate and undergraduate teaching programs. The specific teaching requirements will be tailored to the expertise of the individual and the needs of the department. The selected candidate will have a primary appointment at NC State, with tenure home in the College of Engineering.

This position will have the opportunity to complement, and collaborate with, other members of the Center for Translational Predictive Biology, the existing faculty in the college, and participate in the University-wide Comparative Medicine Institute (CMI).
