Position Summary

The Department of Biomedical Engineering ( BME ) and the Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences at University at Buffalo (UB) invites candidates to apply for a position at the Associate Professor or Full Professor level to be known as Professor of Empire Innovation. Selected candidates will receive support through the SUNY Empire Innovation Program ( EIP ) which recognizes high caliber faculty with proven track records of externally funded research. We invite applications from prominent leaders in the area of cancer diagnostics.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering is a joint venture between the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences ( SEAS ) and the Jacob’s School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ( JSMBS ). The Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences in the Jacob’s School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences studies the application of computational pathology in clinical oncology as well as basic science themes in cell and molecular biology applied to neoplasia. Previous University investments in faculty and facilities have enabled these Departments to play a key role in the expanding biomedical and biotechnology corridor in the Buffalo-Niagara region.

The successful candidate should have a record of scholarly accomplishments, teaching experience and a sustained externally funded research program. The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels, mentor graduate students, advise students at all levels and maintain an active research program. We are particularly looking for candidates who can operate effectively in a team environment and in a diverse community of students and faculty and share our vision of helping all constituents reach their full potential.

Successful candidates will be expected to collaborate with scientists, engineers and clinicians in a multidisciplinary research environment spanning all Schools of the University as well as the Gates Vascular Institute, The Jacobs Institute, the New York State Center for Excellence in Bioinformatics & Life Sciences, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Great Lakes Cancer Care Collaborative. Additionally, the newly launched Innovation Hub provide opportunities and resources to commercialize technology and launch new companies.
