Assistant Professors (TT) - Biomedical Engineering - Multiple Positions
UMass Boston, Amherst, Massachusetts, us, 01002
Job Description
The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant professor level. Hires at the associate professor level may be considered based on qualifications. The appointment is expected to begin September 1, 2026. Applicants working in areas with a strong clinical and translational focus, which will leverage collaborations with UMass Chan Medical School, Boston-area and Springfield-area hospitals, are strongly encouraged to apply. The positions are defined broadly to encompass the full scope of biomedical engineering. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: devices, hardware, and instrumentation for biomedical applications; artificial intelligence (AI) applications in BME and biomedical imaging; biomedical engineering applications in women’s health. Other research areas beyond that are also welcome. The candidates are expected to teach existing graduate and undergraduate courses in BME and will be encouraged to develop creative new curricula in areas of their interest or across disciplines. As a campus, college, and department with an increasingly diverse student body, we are looking for candidates who can operate effectively in a diverse faculty and student community, and who value collegiality, collaboration, achievement, and integrity. We encourage applications from individuals with a commitment to mentor under-represented demographics within engineering. We welcome candidates who have had non-traditional career paths, those who have paused their careers for family or other reasons, or who have spent time outside of academia. The Department of Biomedical Engineering currently has 14 full-time faculty members, approximately 60 graduate students, and 370 undergraduates. The department expects to significantly expand its BME faculty and student count over the next few years. Additional information about the Department can be obtained at bme.umass.edu. Requirements
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering or a closely related field or anticipate such a degree by August 31, 2026. Applicants must demonstrate potential for scholarly excellence and developing an externally-funded research program, and the successful candidate will be expected to maintain an internationally recognized scholarly presence. Candidates will be expected to teach existing undergraduate and graduate courses in our curriculum in biomedical engineering, in addition to developing courses in their area of expertise. Salary Range
Salary (Academic year - 9 month) will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. It is expected that the salary range for this position is between $79,350 and $131,123. Please note: The low-end of the pay range in all faculty searches at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the minimum salary for the rank included in the collective bargaining agreement between the University and the Massachusetts Society of Professors, UMass Amherst/MTA/NEA. Engineering TT starting salaries are typically well above this minimum. The high-end of the pay range encompasses all faculty in this discipline at this rank which includes faculty with multiple years of faculty experience. The specific pay for this position will be determined by the University based on consideration of all relevant factors when and if it decides to extend an offer of employment. Application Instructions
Candidates must provide the following in their application package addressed to “BME Faculty Search Committee.” Applications should be received by November 15, 2025, to ensure full consideration, and will be reviewed until the search is completed. All files must be provided in PDF format. A cover letter, addressed to “BME Faculty Search Committee”. The cover letter should a) introduce yourself, b) briefly describe your research interests, and c) describe your vision for this position. Page limit: 1 page A research statement. Candidates should situate their past research in a broader scholarly context and give their research vision for this position. Candidates are specifically asked to mention the types of scholarship they will perform, how that scholarship will be disseminated, expectations for how that scholarship will be funded, and, if possible, any connections to community engagement, broadening participation in STEM, or grand challenges in engineering. Statements will be evaluated based on an assessment of demonstrated excellence or demonstrated promise of future excellence. Page limit: 3 pages A teaching statement. Candidates should describe their past teaching experience and express their teaching vision for this position. Candidates are specifically asked to mention existing courses in BME they are qualified to offer and also mention courses they are interested in developing. Please discuss any plans for including project-based learning, community engagement, and/or making engineering engaging to all students. Candidates should address both undergraduate and graduate classes. Statements will be evaluated based on an assessment of demonstrated excellence or demonstrated promise of future excellence. Page limit: 1 page Please provide a brief statement that describes how your research, teaching, or lived experiences align with the university’s values and goals as outlined in the Strategic Plan - For the Common Good. Page Limit: 1 page A current curriculum vitae. The CV is typically ordered as follows: 1) education, 2) employment, 3) awards and honors, 4) sponsored research (if any), 5) peer-reviewed publications, 6) service, and 7) other sections as considered appropriate by the candidate. Contact information (name, title, email address, institution) for 3 professional references. References will not be contacted until the second phase of the search. Recruitment Process
The steps of the process are as follows: A minimally qualified pool is identified from the applicants, ideally by the end of 2025. All remaining candidates are evaluated, and a “long list” is identified, which will be interviewed via video conference. Candidates invited to these interviews will be emailed at least one week before the scheduled date. For candidates advancing to the long list: references will be contacted, and candidates will have an opportunity to submit 1 or 2 representative scholarly works. A “shortlist” is developed from the long list, and these candidates will be invited to interview on campus. We anticipate interviews on campus starting in February. The University of Massachusetts Amherst welcomes all qualified applicants and complies with all state and federal anti-discrimination laws.
