Faculty Position in Biomolecular and Cellular Engineering
Lehigh University Bioengineering Program

The P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science at Lehigh 
University seeks to fill a tenure track position at the level of Assistant 
or Associate Professor in Bioengineering. Applicants applying at the 
associate professor level need to demonstrate an exceptional track record 
in research and scholarship. The college is searching for an outstanding 
individual who utilizes a combination of techniques from biology,
engineering, and mathematics to understand the pathogenesis of human disease 
or to solve problems in the health sciences. Although all areas of 
bioengineering will be considered, the college is particularly interested in 
applicants who will complement an ongoing initiative in biomolecular and 
cellular engineering. Individuals with expertise in cell/tissue engineering, 
biomechanics, genomics, proteomics, microfluidics, multi-scale analysis, or 
imaging/analysis of sub-cellular events are especially encouraged to apply.

Applicants are required to have a doctorate in a relevant field of 
engineering or science. A doctorate in biomedical engineering or 
bioengineering and research/teaching experience in this area is preferred. 
Applicants are expected to have a strong commitment to high quality 
undergraduate and graduate engineering education, maintain an active and 
funded research program, and develop strong partnerships with medical 
research centers and/or the biotechnology industry. Bioengineering at Lehigh 
is a multi-disciplinary program that includes Chemical, Mechanical, and 
Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Biology.

The resources at Lehigh University are excellent and include several 
research centers and facilities such as the Genomic and Proteomic Core 
Analysis Facility, the Center for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology and 
the Center for Optical Technologies. Current areas of interest/expertise on 
the Lehigh campus include: cellular and tissue mechanics, biofluid dynamics, 
computational biology, biomaterials, drug delivery, biopharmaceutical 
engineering, nanotechnology, bioMEMS and medical device design. Further 
details can be found at http://www.lehigh.edu/bioengineering.

Please submit a CV, along with a Teaching Proposal describing instructional 
philosophy for both undergraduate and graduate education and a 3-6 page 
sample Research Proposal describing an externally fundable research effort. 
Submissions should be sent to Chair, Bioengineering Search Committee, Lehigh 
University, Bioengineering Program, c/o Elaine Correll, Iacocca Hall, 
Bethlehem, PA 18015-3195, or to [log in to unmask] Review of 
applications will begin January 1, 2007, but the search will remain open
