General Summary of Position:
The Francis College of Engineering at the University of
Massachusetts Lowell is searching for outstanding candidates for
one full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor position in
Biomedical Engineering with expertise in medical devices,
prioritizing those working at the interface of engineering
innovations and clinical translation beginning September 2024. The
college includes 120 faculty members, 30% women, and has just under
3,000 undergraduate and over 1,000 graduate students. The
University serves the multicultural population of the Commonwealth
and has been nationally recognized by the American Society for
Engineering Education for its commitment to diversity. The
University is also a Minority Serving Institution (MSI). UMass
Lowell is a Carnegie Doctoral High Research (RU/H) university
ranked in the top tier of US News' National Universities. The
College has bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs in
all departments.
The campus is situated on the banks of the Merrimack River, a
beautiful and culturally diverse area and the birthplace of
America's industrial revolution. Cotton mills in Lowell, the only
city to be awarded national park status by the U.S. National Park
Service, opened in 1814, and the city has been a hub of invention
and innovation ever since. UML continues that legacy of innovation
throughout the campus. Its location 30 miles northwest of Boston
offers unsurpassed enrichment, including fine arts, dining,
historical sites, and sports! Just north of Lowell, the grandeur of
New Hampshire's White Mountains unfolds not far from the storied
ski lodges of Vermont.
This new faculty will have opportunities to collaborate in research
and teaching with faculty across our six departments. We value
excellence and innovation in curriculum design and courses that
promote experiential learning and professional skills for our
students. The department currently has strong collaborations with
the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School and the
Massachusetts Medical Device Development (M2D2) Center, which is
located on the UML campus.
The department offers undergraduate and doctoral degrees in
Biomedical Engineering, with concentrations in medical device
design and cell and tissue engineering. Educational strategies
include classes taught by highly qualified faculty, experiential
learning such as a formal co-op program, and hands-on laboratory
experiences. The department's research labs were completely
renovated in 2019, and the university recently acquired
state-of-the-art vivarium and animal imaging facilities with space
for additional research labs.
