College of Engineering
Cluster Hire in Health Engineering
Fall 2024
The College of Engineering (CoE, https://www.coe.miami.edu/) at the University of Miami has proudly celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2022. In strategic partnership with several units at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, it is launching an ambitious growth area in Health Engineering. Multiple hires are expected to support several new initiatives in engineering.
Synthetic Biology: Drawing from the expertise and synergistic areas at the Frost Institute for Chemistry and Molecular Science, Miller School of Medicine, and Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Sciences Miami Engineering is establishing a core group in synthetic biology with applications to energy, biomaterials synthesis, genetic engineering, systems biology, and bioprocessing.
Public Health Engineering: Supported by the Center for Aerosol Science and Technology (CAST), the Department of Public Health Sciences, the Climate Resilience Institute, and the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Sciences, Miami Engineering is establishing a core group applying engineering principles to protect community and environmental health by documenting disease transmission through environmental sensing, assessing the impact of the built and natural environments, predicting disease outbreaks, and controlling disease transmission.
Engineering Cancer CuresTM: South Florida's only NCI-Designated Cancer Center, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC) recently broke ground on a 12-story 244,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art premier cancer research facility to accommodate its rapid expansion. Importantly, SCCC and CoE recently launched a joint research initiative, Engineering Cancer CuresTM, to identify and nurture collaborative research opportunities in artificial intelligence, cell & tissue engineering, and smart materials.
Engineering and Applied Physics in Urology: Backed by significant recent philanthropic and institutional commitments, the Desai Sethi Urology Institute (DSUI) is invested in a robust research program that fosters a culture of innovation and collaboration. In a recent collaboration with CoE, biomedical engineers embedded within DSUI have started working closely with physicians to translate engineering solutions into future urologic health.
Institute for Neural Engineering: Miami Project to Cure Paralysis is a center of excellence focused on therapeutic strategies for spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury. In collaboration with The Project, the Institute for Neural Engineering at the University of Miami brings together teams of scientists, engineers, clinicians and industry partners focused on robust research programs in assistive neurotechnologies, sensorimotor integration in healthy and pathological states, clinical applications of movement and neurocognitive disorders, sensory disorders, neurotherapeutics, neurostimulation, tissue engineering, high resolution neurophysiology, imaging and neuroplasticity.
Engineering the Eye: Bascom Palmer Eye Institute (BPEI) is a global leader in eye care, vision research and education that has been consistently ranked #1 in Ophthalmology for two decades. The BPEI has a long history of leading clinical and technological innovation including the development of surgical instrumentation, implants, and imaging technology. Areas of interest include advanced ophthalmic imaging, ophthalmic applications of AI, ocular tissue engineering and regeneration.
In line with these opportunities, the College of Engineering at the University of Miami will be recruiting several tenure-track/tenured faculties at all ranks to lead research programs in Healthcare Engineering with an emphasis in Synthetic Biology, Public Health, Cancer Engineering, Urologic Engineering, Neural Engineering, and Ophthalmic Engineering. Applications will be considered at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor ranks. Appointments are expected to be made in Department of Biomedical Engineering, and Department of Chemical, Environmental, and Materials Engineering, but applications will be considered for all departments. Joint appointments will also be considered, particularly with the Miller School of Medicine. Each appointment is expected to start on August 15, 2025.
Candidates must hold a PhD or MD/PhD in engineering or related disciplines. Applicants must be dedicated to establishing an inclusive environment for learning and research, have an outstanding record of research accomplishments, a strong interest in undergraduate and graduate education, and a commitment to professional service.
For full consideration, please upload one single file of maximum size 5MB with the following; 1) Letter of interest that describes your anticipated contributions to scholarship, teaching, and service, 2) Current CV, 3) Research program vision statement (include hiring emphasis area, and synergy with existing UM investigators, centers, and institutes), 4) Teaching statement, 5) A statement that describes your vision for making contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion, 6) Names and contact information of three or more references. Applications will be accepted till the positions are filled. For additional questions, please contact Ashutosh Agarwal (A.agarwal2@miami.edu).
If the file size is larger or you need any technical help with uploading the file(s), please contact Samara Alfonso at coesearch@miami.edu.
