Job Summary:

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison seeks to fill a tenure-track position at any level in the area of artificial intelligence/machine learning driven computational approaches in the design and application of tissue engineered "biomimetic twins", i.e. novel models of human organ function or dysfunction that would accurately predict the influence of external factors. Additionally, a candidate whose research in this field complements the department's existing strengths in Tissue Engineering, Cellular Engineering, Neuroengineering, Biomechanics, Biomedical Imaging and Optics, and Medical Micro technologies would be of particular interest. The candidate's research should have clear implications for improving human health. The ideal candidate will be interested in collaborative work with existing centers and faculty in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and throughout campus.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering advances the mission of the College of Engineering to foster a respectful, diverse, equitable and inclusive environment.

Responsibilities:

Developing an innovative research program in AI/ML driven tissue engineering approaches; teaching and developing undergraduate and graduate courses in Biomedical Engineering, to foster the learning of a diverse student population; mentoring graduate students, and supervising their research; participating in departmental and university faculty governance; participating in outreach and service in industry and government; and contributing to professional and public services. Participate in interdisciplinary and collaborative efforts with other departments, schools and colleges.
