Job Description The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChBE) in the Russ College of Engineering and Technology (Russ College) at Ohio University seeks an established faculty member with a strong research record and national reputation in Biomedical Engineering (BME) for a tenured position as Associate or Full Professor.
The successful candidate will lead our effort to establish new BS and PhD degree programs to complement our current MS degree and hire and mentor additional faculty in BME. BME development within the college will be synergistic with current growth of the Heritage College of Medicine (HCOM) at Ohio University, which is the largest medical school in the state of Ohio.
While all areas of BME will be considered, candidates who work at the molecular/cellular level are encouraged and those whose research is synergistic with Ohio University's Diabetes Institute, Ohio Musculoskeletal and Neurological Institute, or the soon to be formed institute focused on ageng are of particular interest.
ChBE has ~55 students in the ChE and BME thesis/dissertation-based graduate programs (including ~35 ChE PhD students), and ~140 students in the undergraduate ChE program the majority of whom participate in research and co-curricular activities. Annual ChBE departmental research expenditures are $300K-$500K per faculty member, from a balance of federal and industry sources. Research facilities are state-of-the art including the newly opened 80,000 sq. ft. Russ Research Opportunity Center. Our college benefits from the $120 million Russ endowment to the college, which supports engineering research and education, including BME. The growth of BME will leverage, and significantly augment, the current national attention the university receives from the biennial Russ Prize, akin to a Nobel Prize in bioengineering, that is awarded by the National Academy of Engineering using funds from the Russ College.
Outside of the Russ College, Ohio University has a rich environment for teaching and research in BME. HCOM, a key Russ College partner, is building a new Heritage Translational Research Center, leads the nation in National Institutes of Health funding for osteopathic colleges and has multiple clinical partners. Ohio University has a fertile environment for translational efforts including the 36,000 sq. ft. Innovation Center, and a proven track-record of success in this arena (e.g. the development of Somavert for the treatment of acromegaly; and the establishment of a successful diagnostics company.)
Ohio University is the oldest university in Ohio and recently gained status as a Carnegie R1 research university, one of 142 schools nationwide. Athens is a quintessential college town in the foothills of southeastern Ohio, offering university opportunities and small-town living in a single package.
Ohio University is proud of its rich history, diverse campuses, international communities, and beautiful Appalachian settings. As part of our ongoing efforts to provide and support a transformative learning experience, we affirm our commitment to fostering a welcoming, respectful, diverse, and inclusive workforce and community. All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply.
The position is open until filled. For full consideration, please apply at
https://www.ohiouniversityjobs.com/postings/51429 by the posting closing date. Rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications. To learn more about the position and the department, contact Dr. Doug Goetz, Search Committee Chair (goetzd@ohio.edu).
Minimum Qualifications Requirements for the position include a (1) doctoral degree in biomedical, chemical, or mechanical engineering, or closely allied field; (2) record of maintaining a robust externally-funded research program; (3) demonstrated success in teaching and mentoring students at all levels; and (4) demonstrated commitment to professional leadership and service.
Preferred Qualifications While all areas of BME will be considered, candidates that work at the molecular/cellular level are encouraged and those whose research is synergistic with Ohio University's Diabetes Institute, Ohio Musculoskeletal and Neurological Institute, or the soon to be formed institute focused on ageing are of particular interest.
