engineeringhall/). The George Washington University is located in the nation's capital near many federal funding agencies and government research
laboratories.
Responsibilities: The successful candidate for this position will be expected
to develop externally-sponsored research programs, supervise graduate students, and contribute to the teaching and academic advising of students at
all levels. Teaching responsibilities include developing and delivering both
undergraduate and graduate courses and laboratories in areas that may include some combinations of digital design, embedded systems, biomedical
engineering, and computational biology and bioinformatics. The successful
candidate will undertake interdisciplinary research in computer engineering
and biomedical engineering aimed at using high-performance computing,
reconfigurable computing, and embedded systems to advance biomedical
engineering in areas such as computer and robotics assisted surgery, computational biology, imaging, and/or bioinformatics.
Basic Qualifications: Applicants for the Associate Professor Rank are expected to have a Ph.D. in Biomedical, Computer, or Electrical Engineering, or
a closely related field. They should have strong records of attracting research
funding, peer-reviewed publications, and teaching, as evidenced by teaching
evaluations and recognition of teaching excellence.
Applicants for the Assistant Professor Rank must complete all degree requirements for the Ph.D. in Biomedical, Electrical, or Computer Engineering, or a closely related field, before September 1, 2013, to be appointed as
