Research Focus: Small Animal and Molecular Imaging

The Department of Biomedical Engineering, Case Western Reserve University invites applications for multiple tenure-track positions at the assistant through full professor level. Candidates should have a research emphasis in MRI, image processing and analysis, molecular imaging, or targeted contrast agent development. We are interested in candidates who will expand in vivo, molecular imaging research. An existing, strong research and educational program in biomedical imaging is being bolstered by new molecular imaging research projects that include imaging biomarkers of cancer, assessment of therapy, and assessment of novel drug and gene therapy delivery systems. The candidate will join a group that includes many from Radiology and others from the School of Medicine and that has many achievements including a Whitaker Development grant to hire faculty members and develop an educational program in this area, an NIH planning grant for an In Vivo Cellular and Molecular Imaging Center, and approximately $5.5M in grants from Ohio and federal institutions to develop micro-MRI, micro-PET, OCT, and bioluminescent imaging facilities.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. and postdoctoral research experience. Qualified women and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply. Send a statement of research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae, and the names, addresses, and phone numbers of at least three references to: Professor Patrick E. Crago, Ph.D., Department of Biomedical Engineering, Wickenden Building, Case Western Reserve University Cleveland, OH 44106-7207.

Research Focus: Tissue Engineering

The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) of Case Western Reserve University invites applications for a faculty position in Tissue Engineering. The position is open rank with preference for a senior level person of national distinction, although junior level candidates with exceptional promise are encouraged to apply. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in engineering or a related field. Rank and salary will be commensurate with the candidate's experience and qualifications.

We seek to recruit outstanding faculty with the aim of enhancing our existing strong departmental and interdisciplinary collaborative programs in biomaterials, neural, orthopaedic and vascular engineering. Candidates should offer rigorous approaches to solving medical problems and/or the development of tissue-engineered enabling technologies from consideration of the molecular, cell and tissue level systems. The successful candidate should demonstrate evidence for leadership in research combined with demonstrated expertise in tissue engineering. Excellence in teaching tissue engineering and biomaterials subjects at the undergraduate and graduate biomedical engineering levels is essential. Extensive opportunities for research collaborations across a wide spectrum of inter-disciplinary centers and laboratories are available, with major medical centers within walking distance from the Department. Additional information can be obtained from http://bme.cwru.edu.

Applicants should send a statement of research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae, and the names of three references to:

Research Focus: Neural Engineering

The Department of Biomedical Engineering of Case Western Reserve University invites applications for two positions in Neural Engineering at any level of seniority. Neural Engineering is a university area of excellence in education and research ranging from the molecular level to the systems level with a large program in the design, implementation, and clinical deployment of neuroprostheses. We seek candidates to either enhance existing areas or develop new areas such as neural interfacing, neural prostheses, neural tissue regeneration, or cellular and molecular neural engineering. Candidates should have a strong quantitative background and approach to solving medical problems. The successful candidate should demonstrate evidence for leadership in research and education combined with demonstrated expertise in neural engineering. Extensive opportunities for research collaborations are available across a wide spectrum of inter-disciplinary centers, laboratories and major medical centers located within walking distance from the Department.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. and research experience. The university is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, and applicants with experience in a diverse environment are particularly sought. Send a statement of research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae and the names, and contact information of at least three references. Additional information can be obtained from http://bme.cwru.edu.
