On-Line Faculty Application: Bioengineering

The California Institute of Technology invites applications for one tenure-track faculty position in the general area of biological engineering. The specific research area of the candidate is not as critical as is the ability to integrate engineering and biological principles into the synthesis process. Relevant research interests include, but are not limited to, multi-cellular and tissue level engineering, novel methods to synthesize biological material, and biological interfaces. Also relevant to our search is fundamental research aimed at developing greater understanding of key mechanisms that will underlie future bioengineering synthesis activities. Researchers whose techniques span the molecular, cellular, and tissue scales are particularly encouraged to apply.

We seek highly qualified candidates committed to a career in research and
teaching. The search is aimed at the assistant-professor level; however,
exceptionally qualified candidates may also be considered at the associate-
or full-professor level. Initial appointments at the assistant-professor
level are for four years, and are contingent on completion of the Ph.D.
degree.

The Bioengineering Option is a joint program of the Divisions of Engineering and Applied Science, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, and Biology. The successful candidate will have a primary appointment in Engineering and Applied Science. Joint appointments in other Divisions can be arranged as appropriate. Further information about our Bioengineering program can be found at http://www.be.caltech.edu.
