Internship Brain Computer Interface Jobs in Texas

Description
Position Description:
The Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin is seeking a distinguished investigator at the level of Full Professor to be the founding director of the Texas Institute for Therapeutic Neurotechnology (TITAN). The Dell Medical School, Cockrell School of Engineering, College of Natural Sciences, and College of Pharmacy at the University of Texas are committed to creating this new interdisciplinary institute for advancing translational and clinical neurosciences and neuroengineering. We are seeking a leader whose research program combines computational, engineering, and other quantitative and technological methods for solving problems that will have therapeutic impact in medicine. Examples include, but are not limited to, implantable bioelectronic systems and electroceuticals, nanomaterials for biosensing and stimulation, brain-computer interfaces, neuromodulation technologies with optical, ultrasound, electro-magnetic and precision drug delivery systems, and advanced medical imaging and theranostics. Expertise in fundamental and applied machine learning and artificial intelligence for advancing clinical medicine is of particular interest.
About TITAN:
The Texas Institute for Therapeutic Neurotechnology (TITAN) is a unique interdisciplinary research and educational initiative focused on transforming the clinical neurosciences through the development and application of therapeutic neuroengineering methods (both implanted and non-invasive), grounded on electroceuticals, that (i) decode pathophysiological states of neural networks via brain-computer interfaces, and (ii) deliver stimulation to drive those networks into healthy states. This basic form of neurotherapeutics may be amplified with precision drug delivery that is uniquely tailored to the individual patient. Current expertise in imaging and computational modeling (including artificial intelligence, AI, and machine learning, ML) will boost neurotherapeutics to rapidly identify, treat, and prevent nervous system disorders.
About Dell Medical School:
As part of The University of Texas at Austin, one of the nation's leading research universities, the Dell Medical School pursues innovation in the redesign of healthcare delivery, excellence in healthcare research, and programs in interdisciplinary and inter-professional education. It is the fifth medical school in the UT System and the first medical school established in nearly five decades by a member of the Association of American Universities, an organization of leading public and private research universities. The University of Texas Medical Center, anchored by Dell Medical School, is defining the future of health. Announced in August 2023 with planning and implementation underway, The University of Texas Medical Center will cement Austin as a premier destination for health care alongside other major Texas cities. With two new, state-of-the-art hospitals -a UT specialty hospital and a cancer center being built by MD Anderson - plus the academic and research expertise of UT, The University of Texas Medical Center will provide the integrated, world-class care that is a hallmark of academic medicine.
As part of its strategic roadmap, Dell Medical School is partnering closely with other colleges at the University of Texas, regional communities, and collaborating healthcare systems to provide new models for innovation in clinical research and education, and clinical care for the community's entire population. The Dell Medical School is especially interested in qualified candidates who are aligned with our mission and values and can contribute to excellence within the learning health system.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications:

• MD and/or PhD from a quantitative science or engineering discipline
• Outstanding record of research, teaching, and service accomplishments at the full professor rank, with tenure, and mentoring trainees in science, engineering and medicine
• Experience leading research teams across multiple disciplines. Track record of sustained extramural and federal research funding, i.e., NIH (P01, P30, P50, U01, R01, R54, SBIR/STTR), ARPA-H, NSF (STC)
• Experience attracting investment with local, regional and national biotech partners

The primary appointment will be at Dell Medical School in neurology, neurosurgery and/or psychiatry with joint appointment(s) in one or more departments across the university, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of the leadership position and the importance of attracting graduate and postdoctoral trainees from diverse disciples in the medical, natural, engineering, behavioral, and pharmaceutical sciences.
