Job Details
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University is pleased to invite applications for two non-tenure track Assistant Professor positions in biomedical engineering.
Non-Tenure-Track faculty teaching position in Senior Design and Core Lab Experiences: We are seeking applicants dedicated to curriculum development and teaching in several undergraduate foundational courses. Typical courses include (1) a SAGES course that introduces the concept of BioDesign to first semester engineering freshmen, (2) our first year “Introduction to Biomedical Engineering” course, (3) our two-course senior design sequence, and (4) teaching and supervising the laboratory components of BME undergraduate core courses (Biomedical Signals and Systems; Modeling of Biomedical Systems). Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering or related field and to have at least two years of experience in teaching in similar undergraduate engineering courses.
Non-Tenure-Track faculty teaching position in Medical Imaging and Signal Processing: We are seeking applicants dedicated to teaching in the areas of medical imaging and signal processing. Typical courses include (1) an undergraduate course on the fundamentals of medical imaging, (2) an undergraduate course and a graduate core course focused on signal processing, and (3) an undergraduate course focused on modeling and simulation. In addition, this individual will be expected to develop or participate in the development of a new course focused on optimization and machine learning, and to assist in the advising of BME undergraduate students. Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering or related field, and to have at least two years of teaching experience in relevant (e.g., engineering, mathematics, physics) undergraduate courses.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement on teaching experiences and philosophy, and the names and contact information of at least four professional referees.

Founded in 1826, Case Western Reserve University is a private research university located in Cleveland, Ohio. The site of the famous Michelson-Morley interferometer experiment, the university is associated with 16 Nobel laureates. The Case School of Engineering actively promotes interdisciplinary research collaboration through university-level institutes primarily focused on materials, health care, and energy.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering, which is jointly housed in the School of Medicine and in the Case School of Engineering, is one of the pioneering BME programs in the country (founded 1968), and is home to 56 Primary faculty members, over 180 graduate students and approximately 500 undergraduate students. Its faculty are international research leaders in biomaterials and nanomedicine, imaging, neural engineering, and computational imaging and personalized diagnostics. The BME department is also home to the endowed Case-Coulter Translational Research Partnership that promotes translational research and supports collaborative translational research projects to improve patient care and accelerate the delivery of healthcare technology from academia to the marketplace. The department strives to advance human health through education and research at the intersection of medicine and engineering and recently started the Robert and Brenda Aiken Strategic Initiative and established an alliance with the Biomedical Engineering department in the Lerner Research Institute at the Cleveland Clinic.
In employment, as in education, Case Western Reserve University is committed to Equal Opportunity and Diversity. Women, veterans, members of underrepresented minority groups, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
Case Western Reserve University provides reasonable accommodations to applicants with disabilities.

Organization
Working at Case Western Reserve University
Case Western Reserve University is among the nation's leading research institutions. Founded in 1826 and shaped by the unique merger of the Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University, Case Western Reserve is distinguished by its strengths in education, research, service and experiential learning. Located in Cleveland's University Circle, we offer nationally recognized programs in the arts and sciences, dental medicine, engineering, law, management, medicine, nursing and social sciences.
Student enrollment exceeds 9,800 students, forty percent of whom are undergraduates. Facultyand students hail from more than 90 countries, with academic interests that reach every region of the world. Case Western Reserve, with the support of individuals, corporations and foundations, aids nearly 100 designated research centers.
As a service-oriented institution dedicated to civic leadership, Case Western Reserve seeks individually and collectively to prepare our students to improve the human condition and to direct the benefits of discovery toward a better society. This effort is not limited to the university's classrooms, laboratories, libraries, residence halls and athletic fields, but includes partnerships with many other institutions. We build these partnerships believing that our ability to improve the human condition should begin in our own community.
Case Western Reserve University remains Ohio's top-ranked school among the nation's premier national universities, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report and is the only Ohio institution ranked in the top 50 nationally. We promote a culture of inquiry marked by rigor, creativity, curiosity, innovation, respect, sensitivity and open communication of ideas.
The university supports interdisciplinary partnerships in education and research with numerous faculty holding joint appointments in more than one Case Western Reserve school or department, as well as at neighboring institutions. These relationships launched many of the unique pairings of science, business and liberal arts into the centers and programs that enhance the undergraduate and graduate experience at the university. Our dual degree programs enrich the educational experience for those students who choose to balance the technical requirements of engineering or the sciences with a strong interest in the humanities.
With more than $375 million in research funding annually, the university attracts outstanding undergraduate and graduate students along with renowned faculty whose research has made significant contributions to the way we live and work. Case Western Reserve counts 15 Nobel laureates among our alumni and current and former faculty, including the first American scientist to ever receive the prize.
Our students' experiences in cultural institutions, clinics, social service agencies and industry are not viewed as “extra-curricular,” but create the learning experience that defines a Case Western Reserve education. The university's service programs in the Cleveland Municipal School District have impacted more than 145,000 students with more than 43 signature programs. The university has launched more than 580 community partnerships on the local, national and international levels.
