The George Mason University Department of Bioengineering invites
applications for the position of Department Chair and Professor. The
department is seeking a highly accomplished leader who has a vision
for leading a dynamic and rapidly growing department in achieving
continued excellence and national recognition in research and education.
The Department of Bioengineering at Mason (http://bioengineering.
gmu.edu/) was established in 2010, and has rapidly grown to 13 full-time
faculty. Current focus areas are biomedical imaging, neuroengineering
and computational neuroscience, biomechanics, and nanoscale
bioengineering. Faculty conduct research funded by a number of federal
agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National
Science Foundation, Department of Defense, and the U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs, with over $16 million in active research funding. Faculty
have active collaborations with local healthcare institutions including
Inova, Children's National Medical Center, National Rehabilitation Hospital,
government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration, as
well as federal laboratories such as the Naval Research Laboratory, NIH
Clinical Center, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The department has a thriving ABET-accredited undergraduate program
with enrollment over 200 students, a new rapidly growing Ph.D. program
that started in 2015, and an M.S. program launching in 2017. Continuing
growth in student enrollment and strategic recruitment of faculty in new
and emerging areas in bioengineering and healthcare will be priorities for
the next Department Chair.

The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Division of the Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University
of Michigan, Ann Arbor invites applications for junior or senior
faculty positions, especially from women and underrepresented
minorities. Successful candidates will have a relevant doctorate or
equivalent experience and an outstanding record of achievement
and impactful research in academics, industry, and/or at national
laboratories. They will have a strong record or commitment to
teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels, to providing service
to the university and profession, and to broadening the intellectual
diversity of the ECE Division. The division invites candidates across all
research areas relevant to ECE to apply.
The highly ranked ECE Division (www.ece.umich.edu) prides itself on
the mentoring of junior faculty toward successful careers. Ann Arbor is
often rated as a family friendly best-place-to-live.
Please see application instructions at www.eecs.umich.edu/ eecs/jobs
Applications will be considered as they are received. However, for full
consideration applications must be received by December 9, 2016.
The University of Michigan is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity
Employer with an Active Dual-Career Assistance Program. The College of
Engineering is especially interested in candidates who contribute, through
their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the
academic community.

The Chair will be expected to leverage university-level strategic priorities
in biomedical and translational research to lead transformative growth
of the department, and to further encourage and foster new and existing
collaborations with academic, clinical, and governmental institutions
in the greater Washington D.C. area. The Chair will oversee the growth
of high-quality academic programs, facilitate interdisciplinary research
initiatives, broaden the scope and focus areas of research in the
department, and manage the departmental operations.
Candidates must have an earned doctorate in bioengineering, biomedical
engineering, or a related field, and be eligible for a tenured appointment
at the rank of full professor. The successful candidate should have an
outstanding research and publication record, as well as a commitment
to excellence in both graduate and undergraduate education. The
incumbent should have significant leadership and administrative
experience, including fostering interdisciplinary research/education and
mentoring students, faculty and staff.
Mason is the largest public research university in Virginia, with an
enrollment of approximately 34,000 students and over 200 degree
programs. Mason was classified as an R1 research institution in 2016
by the Carnegie Classifications of Institutes of Higher Education, and
was ranked number one in the 2013 U.S. News and World Report "Upand-Coming" list of national universities. Mason is in close proximity
to a number of federal agencies, national laboratories, biotechnology
companies and biomedical research institutions. Recently, Mason
launched a $40 million, 75,000-square-foot Institute for Biomedical
Innovation and a strategic partnership focused on personalized health
with Inova, the largest health system in northern Virginia.
For full consideration, applicants must apply for position number F9261z
