The Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute at Princeton University invites applications for new faculty positions in the area of Bioengineering, at the Assistant Professor rank. We welcome applications from all areas of experimental and theoretical/computational bioengineering.

We particularly encourage candidates whose work includes aspects of

Device Bioengineering , including but not limited to the development and implementation of approaches that interface with living systems through:

Novel materials and algorithms

Electric and magnetic fields

Ultrasound

Optics and targeted radiation

Microfluidics

Controlled force sensing and actuation

Related tools for probing and controlling biomolecular systems, cells, and tissues

Another area of interest is

Computational Bioengineering , including but not limited to:

Synthetic and chemical biology approaches to cellular computation and biomolecular logic design

The development and implementation of novel algorithms

Machine learning for parsing biological data sets (genomics, proteomics, imaging, neuroscience)

Bioinformatics

Molecular dynamics simulations

Related areas at the interface of computer/data science and the life sciences

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Quantitative Biology or related disciplines, and have a demonstrated record of excellence and leadership in research, commensurate with career stage. We seek faculty members who will be instrumental in creating an ecosystem of excellence and diversity, with a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring. We welcome applications from members of all underrepresented groups.

Princeton recently announced the launch of the Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute, bringing together a strong group of faculty engaged in Bioengineering-related research, spanning engineering departments including:

Chemical & Biological Engineering

Civil and Environmental Engineering

Computer Science

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering

Electrical and Computer Engineering

as well as across Princeton's strong interdisciplinary biology units including:

Molecular Biology

Ecology & Evolutionary Biology

The Lewis Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics

The Princeton Neuroscience Institute

Faculty hired into the Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute will be jointly appointed with another home department or Institute, determined through the application review process. We seek creative and enthusiastic candidates with the background and skills to build upon and complement existing strengths and help expand Princeton's Bioengineering program into new and exciting research areas.

Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2024. Applicants should submit online at

https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/36261

a cover letter, curriculum vitae, including a list of publications and presentations, a 3 page summary of research accomplishments and future plans, a 1 page teaching statement, and contact information for three references. This position is subject to the University's background check policy.
