What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant or Associate Professor in Biomedical Robotics – Engineering (Indianapolis) position at Purdue University College of Engineering?
Purdue University College of Engineering invites applications for multiple tenured/tenure track positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in biomedical-related robotics to strengthen its growing leadership at the intersection of robotics, engineering, and human health in our Indianapolis location.
The candidate’s research focus should target areas where robotics, controls and autonomy impact the biomedical, medicine, and heath fields such as surgical robotics, active prostheses, self-driving labs for diagnostics, surgery and therapies, or rehabilitative systems.
Tenured or tenure-track positions are expected to collaborate with an interdisciplinary group spanning Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and/or Mechanical Engineering with active degree programs based in Indianapolis.
Successful candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science or a related discipline by the employment start date.
Early-career applicants should show evidence of initiating independent research, while mid-career applicants should demonstrate a sustained record of independent research within academic or industrial organizations, and contributions to education and/or mentoring.
The successful candidate will conduct original research, advise graduate students, teach undergraduate and graduate level courses, and perform service at the School, College, and University levels. The position would also enhance Purdue’s ability to attract major federal and industry-sponsored research, train students in a rapidly expanding field, and translate fundamental advances in robotics into technologies that address important biomedical and healthcare challenges. Applicants interested in a position in any of Purdue’s engineering schools are welcome to apply.
Purdue Engineering is renowned for top-notch faculty and students, unique research facilities and innovations, and a culture of collegiality and persistent pursuit of preeminence.
As one of the top ranked and largest engineering colleges in the nation, we are the first among U.S. engineering colleges in annual graduates and market demand, and have 8 degree programs ranked in the top 10 nationally. Purdue Engineering is a top-ranked college for patents and translation of our research activities to practice in the state, nation, and world. More than 70 Purdue Engineering faculty and alumni are National Academy of Engineering members, and we look to continue bringing outstanding faculty to campus, remaining the leader in affordable excellence at scale by guiding strategic growth through investment in people, exciting initiatives, and facilities.
