Position Number: 4668247
Location: Tempe, AZ
Position Type: Engineering - Other Engineering

The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU) and the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, in collaboration with the Center for Biomaterials Innovation and Translation (CBIT) at The Biodesign Institute at ASU, seek applicants for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in the areas of Biomaterials Imaging, Biocompatibility and Tissue Responses. The School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, one of the eight Fulton Schools, houses a vibrant biomolecular, biological, and biomaterials engineering research community (Learn more at https://research.engineering.asu.edu/). We seek applicants who complement our abilities in these areas to solve grand challenges as part of a community of experts. Particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to, design, synthesis, manufacture, and characterization of biomolecules, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, cells, and/or tissues; fundamental and applied research in biomaterials innovation for immunoengineering, advanced imaging (e.g., optical, X-rayCT, photoacoustic imaging) of biomaterials and biomaterials-modulated processes, biomaterials transcriptomics (e.g., single-cell RNA sequencing), biomaterials innovation for biocompatibility, and for modulating tissue responses.

We seek applicants who will contribute to our academic programs, promote transdisciplinary teaching and research, and help the university to achieve its aspirations, including enabling student success, transforming society, valuing entrepreneurship and conducting use-inspired research. Faculty members in the Fulton Schools are expected to develop an internationally recognized and externally funded research program, adopt effective pedagogical practices in the development and delivery of graduate and undergraduate courses, advise both undergraduate and graduate student research and projects, and undertake service activities.

This search is part of ASU's engagement with the Arizona's New Economy Initiative (NEI), a bold effort to ensure that Arizona leads the new economy that will rely on engineering, computing and technology to drive sustainable growth, resilience and opportunities for all. NEI investments in the Fulton Schools of Engineering will grow our world class faculty to accelerate research outcomes and to broaden student access to our programs; support Science and Technology Centers to foster the growth of new economy Industries; and expand experiential learning and workforce training opportunities.

Appointment will be at the assistant, associate, or full professor rank commensurate with the candidate's experience and accomplishments, beginning August 2024. Although the tenure home may be in any of the Fulton Schools, the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy is currently the most involved in the interest of this research. It is intended that the recruited faculty member will also be core faculty of the new Center for Biomaterials Innovation and Translation in The Biodesign Institute at ASU.
