Positions advertised for Fall 2008:

1. Tenured and tenure-track positions in Bioengineering

The Volgenau School of Information Technology and Engineering at George Mason University is building a program in Bioengineering. As part of this initiative, tenure track openings are available in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the rank of Assistant, Associate and Full Professor levels. Successful candidates are expected to shape Bioengineering at George Mason University by maintaining an active research program and teaching both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants for Assistant Professor must have earned a doctorate, or be very near to completing such a degree in bioengineering, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, or a closely related field. Applicants for a more senior, possibly tenured, position must have demonstrated substantial leadership in bioengineering.

  Candidates should show evidence of strong research and teaching ability in one or more emerging areas of bioengineering. These include taking measurements from molecules, cells or living organisms, developing appropriate models to understand such systems, and using nano- and micro-electronics and electromagnetics to manipulate and/or control living systems. Neuroengineering and proteomics are of special interest due to strong potential for interactions within the university. In-depth life-science understanding, ability to work with students and colleagues in electrical engineering, and willingness to collaborate with other departments and/or institutions are essential. Candidates for a senior position must have a strong record of external research support.  

Questions about the position should be directed to Dr. Peter Katona, Professor and Chair, Bioengineering Search Committee (pkatona@gmu.edu) or to Dr. Andre Manitius, Professor and Chair, Electrical and Computer Engineering (amanitiu@gmu.edu).  

Interested individuals should submit a CV and letter of intent (including statements of research and teaching interests and accomplishments), and names and contacts of three references for position F8877z at http://jobs.gmu.edu. The review of applications will begin immediately, and continue until the positions are filled.
