Description
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University invites applications
for two open faculty positions
, one at the level of tenure-track Assistant Professor and one at the level of tenured Professor eligible for an endowed chair.

Areas of particular interest include
gene therapy, drug delivery, protein engineering, genome engineering, synthetic biology, immunoengineering, mechanobiology, and application of machine learning or other computational methods toward biomaterial, drug, or biologic discovery and optimization
. Candidates with added research concentrations that complement the department's existing strengths in biophotonics, biomedical imaging, medical devices and interventional systems, constrained resource and microfluidic diagnostics, and neural engineering, are also of interest.

Qualifications
The target start date is August 2026. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to develop a vibrant, externally funded research program, along with an equal commitment to outstanding teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. VUBME exists at both the scientific and geographic boundary of Vanderbilt's engineering and clinical departments of its renowned medical center, making it an ideal location for engineering research at the interface of technology and medicine. Ideal candidates should possess: a doctorate degree in biomedical engineering or closely related fields of science and engineering, a record of scholarly and research achievement appropriate for their current level, strong record of high-impact research, a commitment to high-quality instruction in biomedical engineering and interest in advancing education programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels, an ability to lead a research program with a dedication to inclusive community building, and an interest in collaboration across engineering and with basic science and clinical disciplines.

Application Instructions

Application materials must include: 1) cover letter, 2) CV, 3) statement of research interests (of particular import is their goals and collaborative possibilities across Vanderbilt), 4) a statement of teaching philosophy highlighting potential synergies within the BME department, such as new courses, 5) a summary statement on service and mentorship, and 6) the names and contact information of at least three professional references.
Review will begin upon receipt, and applications received by December 1, 2025 will receive full consideration. Please address questions to the email: (
also note, this email will only be monitored by the chair of the department, and the chair of the search to maintain confidentiality)
