About UMass Amherst
UMass Amherst, the Commonwealth's flagship campus, is a nationally ranked public research university offering a full range of undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees. The University sits on nearly 1,450-acres in the scenic Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, and offers a rich cultural environment in a bucolic setting close to major urban centers. In addition, the University is part of the Five Colleges (including Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, and Smith College), which adds to the intellectual energy of the region.
Job Description
The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions. While we are seeking talented applicants qualified for a tenure-track assistant professor position, under exceptional circumstances, highly qualified candidates at the associate professor rank may receive consideration. The appointment is expected to begin September 1, 2025.
The position is defined broadly across the entire scope of BME, including areas that overlap with and build on current research themes, as well as areas that do not currently exist in the department. Applicants working on areas with a strong clinical and translational focus, which will leverage collaborations with UMass Chan Medical School and Boston-area hospitals, are strongly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate is expected to teach existing graduate and undergraduate courses in BME and will be encouraged to develop new creative curricula in areas of their interest or across disciplines.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering currently has 14 full-time faculty members, approximately 60 graduate students, and 370 undergraduates. The department expects to significantly expand its BME faculty and student count over the next few years. Additional information about the Department can be obtained at bme.umass.edu.
Requirements
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering or a closely related field by August 31, 2025. Applicants must demonstrate potential for scholarly excellence and for developing an externally funded research program. The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an internationally recognized scholarly presence. Candidates will also be expected to teach existing undergraduate and graduate courses in our curriculum in biomedical engineering in addition to developing courses in their area of expertise. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Application Instructions
Candidates must provide the following in their application package addressed to "BME Faculty Search Committee." Applications must be received by November 15, 2024, for full consideration. All files must be provided in .pdf format.
The University is committed to active recruitment of a diverse faculty and student body. The University of Massachusetts Amherst is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer of women, minorities, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities and encourages applications from these and other protected group members. Because broad diversity is essential to an inclusive climate and critical to the University's goals of achieving excellence in all areas, we will holistically assess the many qualifications of each applicant and favorably consider an individual's record working with students and colleagues with broadly diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds in educational, research or other work activities. We will also favorably consider experience overcoming or helping others overcome barriers to an academic career and degree.
