Description

The Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering are dedicated to developing solutions for human health by educating the next generation of biomedical engineers, cultivating leaders, and nurturing the integration of engineering, science, and medicine in a discovery-centered environment. To help advance this mission, we are seeking applications for two open rank faculty positions: tenure-track Assistant, Associate with Tenure or Full Professor with Tenure, in any area of biomedical imaging science, from hardware development to image acquisition to data analysis and visualization. Successful candidates will be expected to develop and maintain an active research program within a collegial, collaborative, and vibrant academic environment.

The successful candidates for these positions will be joining the UT Austin faculty as part of the Cluster and Interdisciplinary Hiring Initiative [details below]. This initiative is designed to supplement departmental hiring practices and norms and extend collaborative research and scholarship. This new initiative is authorizing up to 40 new faculty hires whose interdisciplinary areas of knowledge cross the boundaries of existing academic departments. The selected candidates will be expected to actively participate as core members of the Basic and Translational Biomedical Imaging Cluster. Contributions to the cluster will be an important facet of the faculty members' annual performance evaluations and consideration for promotion.

Cluster Initiative Details

The goal of the Basic and Translational Biomedical Imaging Cluster is to recruit a team of engineers, physicists, and data scientists to enhance biomedical imaging science and its applications at UT Austin. UT Austin has strong and interactive biomedical imaging research programs across multiple schools and colleges, including the Cockrell School of Engineering, the College of Liberal Arts, and the College of Natural Sciences, which are aimed at using computationally-based imaging methods to address some of the most pressing questions in basic and translational science today. The Dell Medical School, which welcomed its first class in 2016, substantially expands the opportunities for biomedical imaging at UT Austin, with major translational research opportunities in cancer, the clinical neurosciences, and cardiology. UT Austin is also the home of the Texas Advanced Computing Center, which operates some of the world's most powerful advanced computing resources enabling discovery across all fields of science and engineering. This cluster hiring initiative represents a major investment in biomedical imaging science at UT Austin and seeks to capitalize on a once-in-a generation opportunity to integrate world class basic science and computing programs, a new medical school, and the expanding Biomedical Imaging Center to become a national leader in biomedical imaging.
