The Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at
The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) invites applications
for a joint position in the Departments of Bioengineering and
Mechanical Engineering at the rank of Associate Professor. We
welcome applications from all areas of bioengineering that span
these departments, with a particular interest in the area of
biomechanics and mechanobiology. Candidates with research interests
in cell and tissue biomechanics, as well as prosthetics, robotics,
and the mechanics of human movement are especially encouraged to
apply. Candidates must hold a PhD or equivalent degree in
Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related
discipline, and have a demonstrated record of excellence in
research, teaching, and service. All candidates will be expected to
work effectively in a highly collaborative academic environment.
Applicants from related disciplines, such as Materials Science,
Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or Quantitative Biology, whose
research is relevant to bioengineering and mechanical engineering
may also be considered. The appointment has an expected start date
of Fall 2022.
The Departments of Bioengineering and Mechanical Engineering at UT
Dallas were founded in 2010 and 2008, respectively. According to US
News and World Report, both departments are ranked 3rd in their
respective fields among Texas public universities. Both departments
offer BS, MS, and PhD degrees. The Bioengineering Department is the
3rd largest in the U.S. according to ASEE with enrollments
approaching 600 undergraduate students and over 150 graduate
students. The Mechanical Engineering department is home to more
than 1100 undergraduate students and 200 graduate students. The
close proximity to the UT Southwestern Medical Center and our joint
graduate program offers outstanding opportunities for collaborative
research. UT Dallas is situated in Richardson, TX, one of the most
attractive suburbs in the Dallas metropolitan area. The University
sits in close proximity to the telecom corridor, home to several
hundred high‐technology companies that provide opportunities for
joint university‐industry collaborations.
Interested applicants should submit a cover letter; full curriculum
