Job Description

Department

The Department of Chemical & Biomedical Engineering (CBE) at the Florida A&M University (FAMU)-Florida State University (FSU) College of Engineering invites applications from highly qualified individuals for a tenure track faculty position in biomedical engineering, in the city of Tallahassee, Florida.

Responsibilities

Successful candidates are expected to develop research programs that are internationally recognized with significant and sustained funding, incorporate interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers across campus, and demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence in education. Teaching undergraduate and graduate courses and supervising undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral researchers are expected.

Qualifications

Candidates must possess an earned Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, or a related discipline, and demonstrate documented potential for outstanding research. Although all applications will be reviewed, priority will be given to candidates that complement and build upon our research in polymeric biomaterials, regenerative medicine, and 3D bioprinting with a goal of aligning with the new FSU Health Initiative. Areas of particular interest include stem cell engineering, nanoparticle engineering, gene editing, immunomodulation, biomaterials, and biomedical imaging.

Helpful

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is the nexus of two major public universities, each with a distinct mission but focused on world-class engineering education and research. Created by the Florida Legislature in 1982, the joint organization is the college of engineering for both Florida A&M and Florida State universities. This unique combination of focus, resources and mission from our parent university has created on our campus a truly innovative atmosphere that leverages the benefits of the traditional HBCU model with the innovations of an R1 public research university. The College fosters interdisciplinary research and collaboration across engineering, science, medicine, and other fields, while providing faculty, researchers, and students access to the complementary expertise and resources of both universities. All seven of the college's eligible undergraduate degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET .
