What is oncology biomedical engineering?

Oncology biomedical engineering is a specialized field that combines principles of engineering, biology, and medicine to develop technologies and solutions for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer. Professionals in this area design medical devices, imaging systems, drug delivery methods, and diagnostic tools specifically tailored for oncology applications. Their work often involves collaborating with oncologists, researchers, and clinical staff to improve patient outcomes and advance cancer care. These engineers play a critical role in translating scientific discoveries into practical technologies that can be used in hospitals and research settings.

How does an oncology biomedical engineer typically collaborate with clinical teams to improve patient outcomes?

Oncology Biomedical Engineers frequently work alongside oncologists, nurses, and medical physicists to design, maintain, and optimize medical equipment used in cancer diagnosis and treatment. This collaboration often involves troubleshooting devices, training staff on new technologies, and adapting equipment to meet specific patient needs. Regular interdisciplinary meetings and hands-on support ensure that all equipment functions safely and effectively, directly contributing to improved patient care and outcomes. Building strong communication skills and a proactive approach to problem-solving are key to success in this collaborative environment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an oncology biomedical engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Oncology Biomedical Engineer, you need a solid background in biomedical engineering principles, oncology-specific knowledge, and typically at least a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with oncology medical devices, laboratory information systems, and relevant certifications such as Certified Biomedical Equipment Technician (CBET) are important. Strong problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and attention to detail help you collaborate effectively with clinicians and ensure patient safety. These skills and qualifications are vital for developing, maintaining, and optimizing technologies that directly impact cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Job description

Description
The Department of Ophthalmology and the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center are seeking a highly accomplished scientist with a strong background in cancer research to lead and expand our Ocular Oncology Translational Research Program. This faculty position includes a primary appointment in the Department of Ophthalmology and secondary appointment in the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, with a unique opportunity to expand a rapidly growing multidisciplinary Ocular Oncology Clinical Program directed by Dr. J. William Harbour, MD, an internationally recognized ocular oncologist, cancer researcher, and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology. Significant programmatic development funds are available for the qualified applicant.
Position Overview:
The successful candidate will:
  • Provide the overall leadership and academic vision for growth and development of a multi-disciplinary Ocular Oncology Translational Research Program of top national reputation
  • Lead an innovative team of investigators, with an emphasis on uveal melanoma, retinoblastoma, ocular surface neoplasia and other ocular tumors.
  • Support collaborative translational research initiatives that bridge laboratory discoveries with clinical applications and commercialization and expand peer-reviewed, extramural research funding in ocular oncology, including large multi-investigator P-type grants
  • Promote multidisciplinary research collaborations with oncology, genetics, immunology, bioinformatics, biomedical engineering and precision medicine across UT Southwestern.
  • Continue growth of individual research program as a principal investigator, maintaining extramural funding through the NIH, DOD, private foundations, and other grant mechanisms.
  • Develop research partnerships with other academic institutions, pharma and biotech to enhance programmatic translational goals
  • Promote robust opportunities for learners, including undergraduate, medical and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty.

Why UT Southwestern?
  • Renowned research institution with state-of-the-art facilities and strong institutional support.
  • NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center with over $120M in cancer focused funding and all the shared resources necessary to support cancer research
  • Access to large and diverse patient populations and unique biospecimens through the rapidly growing multidisciplinary ocular oncology program, the only such program in North Texas and one of only a handful nationally.
  • Highly collaborative and multidisciplinary research ecosystem with opportunities to work with experts in oncology, genetics, pathology, and biomedical engineering.
  • Access to funding by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT)
  • Located in Dallas, a thriving metropolitan area with a high quality of life, excellent schools, and a vibrant biomedical community.

Qualifications
Qualifications:
  • PhD, MD, MD/PhD or the equivalent, with a strong record of independent cancer research.
  • Full-time scientist or clinician-scientist at the Associate Professor or Professor level. Those intending to engage in patient care must be eligible to obtain a Texas Medical License.
  • Demonstrated success in high-impact publications and grant funding.
  • Ability to create an exceptional multidisciplinary research program through recruitment, programmatic development and collaboration.
  • Expertise in oncogenomics, tumor immunology, molecular oncology, or related fields.
  • A strong interest in eye cancer, but not necessarily an extensive background in the field.

Application Instructions
