"Assistant Professors (TT) - Biomedical Engineering - Multiple Positions"

The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant professor level. Hires at the associate professor level may be considered based on qualifications. The appointment is expected to begin September 1, 2026. Applicants working in areas with a strong clinical and translational focus, which will leverage collaborations with UMass Chan Medical School, Boston-area and Springfield-area hospitals, are strongly encouraged to apply.

The positions are defined broadly to encompass the full scope of biomedical engineering. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: devices, hardware, and instrumentation for biomedical applications; artificial intelligence (AI) applications in BME and biomedical imaging; biomedical engineering applications in women’s health. Other research areas beyond that are also welcome. The candidates are expected to teach existing graduate and undergraduate courses in BME and will be encouraged to develop creative new curricula in areas of their interest or across disciplines.

As a campus, college, and department with an increasingly diverse student body, we are looking for candidates who can operate effectively in a diverse faculty and student community, and who value collegiality, collaboration, achievement, and integrity. We encourage applications from individuals with a commitment to mentor under-represented demographics within engineering. We welcome candidates who have had non-traditional career paths, those who have paused their careers for family or other reasons, or who have spent time outside of academia.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering currently has 14 full-time faculty members, approximately 60 graduate students, and 370 undergraduates. The department expects to significantly expand its BME faculty and student count over the next few years. Additional information about the Department can be obtained at bme.umass.edu.

Requirements: Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering or a closely related field or anticipate such a degree by August 31, 2026. Applicants must demonstrate potential for scholarly excellence and developing an externally-funded research program, and the successful candidate will be expected to maintain an internationally recognized scholarly presence. Candidates will be expected to teach existing undergraduate and graduate courses in our curriculum in biomedical engineering, in addition to developing courses in their area of expertise.

Salary Range: Salary (Academic year - 9 month) will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. It is expected that the salary range for this position is between $79,350 and $131,123.

Application Instructions: Candidates must provide the following in their application package addressed to “BME Faculty Search Committee.” Applications should be received by November 15, 2025, to ensure full consideration, and will be reviewed until the search is completed. All files must be provided in PDF format. 1. A cover letter... (full details as in the original text).
