commitment to excellence in teaching and research and to the success of
our students. Equally, the new Chair will vigorously catalyze and develop
further the Department's collaborations with the Schools of Medicine
and of Public Health, and the GWU Hospital, attract new partners across
the University, and advance and extend the existing relationships with
nearby government laboratories. The new Chair will be an enthusiastic
proponent of creativity, innovation, and outreach, and be an effective
advocate and spokesperson for the Department, both within and beyond
the University.
Basic Qualifications:
Applicants must have an earned doctorate in Biomedical Engineering,
Bioengineering, or a related field; outstanding research and academic

levels. Applicants must have evidence of substantial management ability
