Faculty Positions in the William States Lee College of Engineering

In response to the State of North Carolina’s initiative to “engineer a smart and secure future”, the William States Lee College of Engineering (LCoE) at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is seeking applications for multiple full-time tenure-track positions at the academic ranks of assistant/associate professor for candidates conducting research in the areas of bioengineering/biomedical engineering. The positions will be housed in either the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering or Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science. We are particularly interested in those with experience in leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, biomanufacturing, big data and digital twins to address today’s engineering challenges. Potential specific domain areas include, but are not limited to; biomaterials, bioelectronic interfaces, bio nano engineered systems, biomedical imaging/sensors, immunoengineering, molecular engineering, nanomedicine, and neuroengineering.

These positions are part of a large investment by the State of North Carolina and the University. Successful candidates are expected to benefit from collaborative opportunities arising from recent hires. This initiative also encompasses the potential growth of university undergraduate and graduate programs.

Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute, Atrium Health Levine Children’s, Atrium Health Neurosciences Institute, and Wake Forest School of Medicine (with a regional campus in Charlotte) would provide an excellent clinical environment for interactions and translation.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. degree in an appropriate engineering discipline or another closely related field and have a background aligning with one of the listed research foci. In addition, they must demonstrate significant accomplishments or outstanding potential in scholarship, teaching, and research, corresponding to the rank of appointment. Successful candidates are expected to: 1) develop and sustain nationally and internationally recognized, externally funded research programs as evidenced by high-quality publications and successful mentoring of students; 2) contribute to teaching and course development at both the graduate and undergraduate levels; and 3) demonstrate an ability to engage in a multicultural environment.

Positions will remain open until filled.

As an EOE/AA employer and an ADVANCE Institution that strives to create an academic climate in which the dignity of all individuals is respected and maintained, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte encourages applications from all underrepresented groups.

The candidate chosen for this position will be required to provide an official transcript of their highest earned degree.

All finalists are subject to criminal background checks.
