What does a Biomedical Engineering Professor do?

A Biomedical Engineering Professor teaches courses and conducts research in the interdisciplinary field of biomedical engineering, which combines principles of engineering, biology, and medicine. They mentor students, design and oversee laboratory work, and often collaborate with clinicians or industry to develop new medical devices or technologies. Professors also publish research findings, secure funding through grants, and contribute to advancing knowledge and innovation in healthcare.

What is the difference between Biomedical Engineering Professor vs Biomedical Engineer?

AspectBiomedical Engineering Professor

Biomedical Engineering Professors typically hold advanced degrees (Ph.D.) and focus on teaching, research, and academic publishing within universities. They often supervise students and secure research funding. Biomedical Engineers usually hold a bachelor's or master's degree and work in industry or healthcare settings, applying engineering principles to develop medical devices, equipment, or solutions. They focus on product development, testing, and implementation in real-world environments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Biomedical Engineering Professor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Biomedical Engineering Professor, you need an advanced degree (typically a Ph.D.) in biomedical engineering or a related field, with a strong background in both engineering principles and life sciences. Familiarity with research methodologies, laboratory equipment, data analysis software, and often, experience with grant writing and academic publishing, is essential. Exceptional communication, mentorship abilities, and a passion for teaching and collaboration set outstanding professors apart. These skills are crucial for effectively educating students, advancing research, and contributing to the academic community.

What are the primary responsibilities of a Biomedical Engineering Professor outside of teaching classes?

In addition to delivering lectures and mentoring students, Biomedical Engineering Professors are deeply involved in research activities, securing grants, publishing scholarly articles, and developing innovative biomedical technologies. They often collaborate with colleagues from engineering, life sciences, and medical departments on interdisciplinary projects. Professors may also supervise graduate students, contribute to curriculum development, and participate in university committees, making the role both diverse and impactful within academia.

Job description

Pay Range
USD $85,000.00 - USD $120,000.00 /Yr.
Overview
The Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering at Clarkson University invites applicants to apply for a Professor of Practice teaching-track position focused on biomedical engineering and bioengineering. This individual will play a leadership role in launching Clarkson's new 4+1 Master's of Science in Biomedical Engineering program and Clarkson's long standing Biomedical Engineering minor at the undergraduate level. The applicant will lead the Master's capstone courses, which will include medical device design incorporating advanced manufacturing principles. This is part of a cluster hire of several positions focused on Advanced Manufacturing.
This position will support the advancement of the Solinsky Engineering Leadership Challenge. The Solinsky's $32M financial commitment to the Challenge represents the largest directed gift in the history of Clarkson University and will result in an $80M investment in engineering over its seven-year duration. The Challenge has a focus on advanced manufacturing and investment will include an anticipated significant expansion and renovation of the engineering building into the Solinsky Engineering Center. It also includes a portfolio of Solinsky Challenge advanced manufacturing initiatives such as: curricular and co-curricular innovation; expanding student engagement in manufacturing-related activities; advancing manufacturing research and technology transfer; significantly increasing Clarkson's engagement and partnership with industry; and advancing the reputation and visibility of Clarkson's engineering programs.
Solinsky Challenge success metrics include meeting program milestones; better preparing students for careers in advanced manufacturing; significantly increasing the number and effectiveness of the Solinsky Challenge industry- university and government-university partnerships; growing engineering enrollments; and enhancing the reputation of Clarkson Engineering as measured by US News and other rankings.
General Purpose:
The successful applicant will develop and teach assigned biomedical engineering-related undergraduate and
graduate courses, such as team-based capstone design courses, entrepreneurship, and regulatory compliance, mentor student-project teams, and grow industry-sponsored design projects. The successful applicant will also actively engage in service activities which include, but are not limited to, supporting ABET assessment; providing opportunities for students to visit advanced bio-manufacturing facilities; providing academic and career advising and mentoring to students; and contributing to the development of new courses and curricula.
Applications are sought from individuals whose expertise is at the interface of biomedical engineering and
manufacturing, potentially spanning the classical engineering disciplines, such as Mechanical, Chemical, Civil and Electrical engineering. Applicants should have relevant industry experience and be passionate about better preparing engineering graduates to enter the engineering workforce and advancing the economic vitality of the region, state, and nation by regaining US pre-eminence in manufacturing. Candidates must possess the communication and people skills necessary to work with students of all abilities, faculty and staff colleagues, and stakeholders from industry and government. Previous teaching experience and experience with government-industry-university partnerships and/or design projects is a plus.
