The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Mississippi (biomedical.olemiss.edu) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level in the areas of rehabilitation engineering, orthopedic biomechanics, biomechatronics, neuromechanics, or a related field. Outstanding candidates in other areas of biomedical engineering will also be considered.

The successful applicant will have the opportunity to contribute to the Biodevices emphasis area within the Biomedical Engineering undergraduate program. Established in July 2019, we are the state’s first and only Department of Biomedical Engineering. The Department recently completed a $1.3M renovation of approximately 10,000 square feet of teaching and lab space to accommodate our rapid growth. Another ~$2.5M renovation for ~3,500 sq.ft. of new laboratory space has recently commenced as well. The University of Mississippi is a R1 Carnegie Classification university of high research activity. As such, numerous collaborative research opportunities exist on campus with the School of Pharmacy, the Departments of Biology and Chemistry, and within the School of Engineering. The successful applicant will also have access to 3100 ft2 of space at the Center for Diagnostics, Design, Devices and Biomechanics (D3B) with multi-axis MTS frames with anatomic testing simulator, Motion Capture including instrumented treadmills, and a surgical/cadaveric suite. The University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in nearby Memphis also offer collaborative potential.

The qualified candidate must have a Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering or a closely related discipline. The candidate will have already established a competitive research program or will possess the potential to do so. The candidate will also be expected to contribute to undergraduate and graduate education.
