"Open-Rank, Tenured/Tenure Track Bioengineering Faculty"

About the Department:

Mason’s Department of Bioengineering, https://bioengineering.gmu.edu, has 14 faculty members whose research are divided into four pillars: biomedical imaging and devices, computational biomedicine, neurotechnology and computational neuroscience, and biomaterials and nanomedicine. Bioengineering faculty research is funded by several federal and non-federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, and the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium. These agencies and other sources bring the department’s current active research funding total to more than $32 million. Undergraduate enrollment in the thriving ABET-accredited undergraduate program totals more than 220 students; and we have over 50 graduate students enrolled in PhD and MS programs. In addition to the many collaborations across the college and the university, the department has several growing partnerships with regional centers and universities. The department is also home to two centers, the Center for Advancing Systems Science and Bioengineering Innovation and the Center for Neural Informatics Neural Structures and Neural Plasticity.
