FACULTY POSITIONS
IN
The Harrington Department of Bioengineering
Arizona State University

Arizona State University, an emerging leader in biomedicine and
bioengineering research and education, continues to significantly expand
its Bioengineering faculty through the creation of the Harrington
Department of Bioengineering and the Arizona Biodesign Institute.
Tenure track, assistant/associate professor positions in Biomechanics,
BioMEMS, Neuroprostheses, and Motor Learning/Control are available
starting August 2004. Successful candidates are expected to lead the
efforts in developing state-of-the-art facilities for research and
working closely with faculty members in Bioengineering and other
departments/colleges to achieve national and international prominence.

Required qualifications for all positions are: earned doctorate in
bioengineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical
engineering, materials science and engineering, or a closely related
engineering or science field by date of appointment; research and
teaching experience appropriate to rank; demonstrated ability to teach
undergraduate and graduate courses in the Bioengineering curriculum; and
record of scholarly publications and external funding appropriate to
rank.

Desired qualifications are specific to the following positions:
Biomechanics - Broad range of experimental, computational and
theoretical expertise, appropriate to rank, in one of the following:
mechanical properties and dynamics of neuromuscular, skeletal,
cardiovascular, pulmonary, digestive, or metabolic systems in either
molecular/cellular or organ scale; soft tissue mechanics and injury;
rehabilitation robotics/devices; or modeling and simulation of movement
dynamics for rehabilitation applications.
BioMEMS - Expertise, appropriate to rank, in the design and
microfabrication of microelectromechanical and/or microfluidic systems
for applications to neural engineering (e.g. application of engineering
principles and methods in basic and applied neuroscience, development of
devices and technologies which interface with the nervous system, and
technologies related to neurosurgery or neurology or neuroimaging),
and/or for MEMS applications to molecular, cell or tissue engineering
(e.g. molecular, cell, and tissue-based biohybrid devices, cell, and
tissue engineered systems).
Motor Learning/Control - Experience, appropriate to rank, in:
neurophysiology/neurobiology and neuroanatomy of motor control systems;
experimental investigation of movement control with emphasis on
manipulation tasks and motor learning and adaptation; sensorimotor
integration and sensory feedback; neurological recording and neural
signal decoding algorithms; and/or neuroprosthetic research and
development.
Neuroprostheses - Expertise, appropriate to rank, in the development and
testing of neuroprosthetic systems; design and fabrication of
microdevices for neural interfaces and potential chronic implantation;
biosensors and actuators for neural systems, and/or neurophysiological
systems analysis /control. Background in the design and development of
neural interface devices or systems.

Applications must be received by January 15, 2004; if not filled, the
1st and 15th of the month thereafter until searches are closed. Send 1)
letter of interest indicating both rank and position(s) desired, e.g.
Biomechanics, BioMEMS, Motor Learning/Control, Neuroprostheses applying
for, 2) current curriculum vitae, 3) summary of past activity and future
plan for research and teaching, and 4) names, postal and email addresses
and telephone numbers of four references to: Chair of the Faculty Search
