Internship Biomedical Tissue Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary

Job Summary:  The Center for Engineering and Precision Medicine (CEPM), a partnership between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), is hiring Constellation and Constellation-affiliated chaired and non-chaired tenured faculty in the area of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM).  https://careers.rpi.edu/en-us/job/493743

Successful candidates will enjoy tenured faculty status at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and will be based at the CEPM labs at 619 West 54th Street in New York City, with additional research  also available at the Rensselaer campus in Troy, New York. Constellations are led by up to four faculty members in a broad area of multidisciplinary research.

Candidates will have strengths in research areas that include stem cell biology and bioengineering, developmental biology, cellular engineering (such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and transcriptomics), compositional analysis and modification/engineering of the extracellular matrix, cell signaling and regulation as pertaining to intra- and extracellular-tissue interactions, wound healing, cellular regeneration and repair, immune system interactions, neuromodulation, and inflammation.  

About the Center: CEPM is one of the first centers in the nation to bridge engineering and engineering science with precision medicine and is built on a strong history of collaboration between Rensselaer and ISMMS that since 2013 has attracted over $80M in joint funding and provided shared educational and research experiences across two campuses. This undertaking will build on a wealth of shared basic research discoveries, explore unique therapeutic innovations in regenerative and reparative medicine, cancer, neurologic and myriad infectious diseases; educate a new generation of biomedical leaders; and develop new technologies and processes that enhance patient outcomes in unprecedented ways. The center will drive advances in point-of-care and point-of-use devices and diagnostics; microphysiological platforms for discovery and diagnosis; robotic surgery; biomedical imaging; therapeutics biomanufacturing; and artificial intelligence and machine learning applied to biomedical data. These engineering advances will improve patients' quality of life by synergizing state-of-the-art expertise in research and education at the nexus of engineering and medicine.

The center is home to a joint Mt. Sinai and RPI Ph.D. program in health sciences engineering

Requirements: We seek applications from outstanding candidates at the full professor level, although exceptional associate professor candidates will be considered, who will build upon our existing strengths in these and related areas across the university. Candidates will have a terminal doctoral degree in biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, biological sciences or chemistry, or a related field, and have developed an internationally recognized interdisciplinary research program, attracted external grant funding to support this research, and will contribute to graduate and undergraduate teaching, and engage in department, institute, and professional service activities.
