The Whitaker Biomedical Engineering Institute at Johns Hopkins University seeks highly qualified candidates for a faculty position in tissue engineering. In particular we are seeking candidates with research interests in both nanostructured materials and biotechnology. Specific areas of interest include biologically inspired materials and structures; nanoscale devices; biomimetic structures engineered at molecular or atomic length scales; and self-assembling, self-healing hybrid systems involving nanostructured materials and molecules, proteins, and cells. The successful candidate will join the Cell and Tissue Engineering Program in the Whitaker Biomedical Engineering Institute at Johns Hopkins, and will have his/her primary appointment in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The newly formed Institute provides a highly interactive environment for interdisciplinary research and builds on the internationally recognized research programs based in the School of Medicine and the Whiting School of Engineering, including the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Applicants must be able to establish independently funded research programs, and will participate in graduate and undergraduate education. It is anticipated that the appointment will be made at the assistant professor level, although an appointment at the associate or full professor level will be considered. More information on the Institute and Johns Hopkins University, can be found at www.bme.jhu.edu and www. jhu.edu/~matsci. Applicants should submit a detailed resume, statement of research plans, teaching interests, and the names of three references to: Biomaterials Search Committee Department of Materials Science and Engineering 102 Maryland Hall Johns Hopkins University, 3400 North Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21218.
Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. Johns Hopkins University is an EEO/AA employer.
