Job description

The School of Engineering Medicine (SEM) at Texas A&M University (TAMU) invites applications for a full-time faculty position at the Associate or Full Professor level, specializing in Robotics with applications to human health. Applicants will be considered for either tenure-track or tenured Associate Professor or tenured Professor, depending on qualifications. This is a full-time, 9-month position with a start date in the Fall of 2026.
We seek an outstanding researcher and educator whose work applies robotics to address critical challenges in medicine and human health. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, surgical robotics, rehabilitation robotics, assistive robotics, autonomous systems for healthcare, medical device robotics, AI-enabled robotic systems, human-robot interaction in clinical environments, and robotics for diagnosis, intervention, or patient care. The successful candidate will maintain a cutting-edge, externally funded research program, teach and mentor graduate and medical students, and engage in interdisciplinary collaborations at the intersection of engineering and medicine.
About the School of Engineering Medicine:
The School of Engineering Medicine is a pioneer in translational medicine and research. Currently, SEM houses the EnMed medical educational program ( enmed.tamu.edu ), an innovative program that represents a partnership among the Texas A&M College of Engineering (COE), Texas A&M Vashisht College of Medicine (VCOM), and Houston Methodist Hospital (HMH). Each of these partners has an outstanding national ranking and offers state-of-the-art facilities for education and research. In addition, TAMU, SEM, and HMH provide excellent support for innovation and entrepreneurship. Students applying to the EnMed program must have an undergraduate degree in an engineering or computer science discipline and meet the prerequisites required by VCOM and COE. EnMed is the nation's only program to award both a Doctor of Medicine (MD) and a Master of Engineering in Innovation in Medicine degree within four years.
About the Location:
This position is based in the Discovery Tower, adjacent to the Texas Medical Center (TMC) in Houston. The TMC, the largest medical center in the world, hosts 21 hospitals and 8 specialty institutions, including the largest pediatric and cancer hospitals. The TMC ecosystem is also a global hub for medical technology innovation, featuring numerous startups, incubators, accelerators, and research institutions.
Position Responsibilities:
  • Maintain a high-impact, externally funded research program in the field of robotics to solve challenges in human health.
  • Teach courses to medical and graduate students.
  • Mentor graduate students and medical students in research and innovation.
  • Collaborate with engineering EnMed faculty and successfully integrate engineering with medicine in their research and teaching.
  • Collaborate with clinicians, industry partners, and multidisciplinary teams to translate research into practice.
  • Contribute to the department and profession through service activities.

Preference will be given to candidates with a strong interest in collaborative research with engineers and clinicians and a demonstrated ability to bridge the gap between engineering and medicine.
Qualifications
Required:
  • Medical Degree (MD) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in robotics or a closely related field (to include, but not limited to, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science). Equivalent clinical candidates (MD) with a strong record of robotics innovation, translation, and deployment in clinical settings are also strongly encouraged to apply.
  • A strong record of impactful research with evidence of external funding.
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate with engineers, clinicians, industrial partners, and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Demonstrated interest in translational or clinically relevant robotics research
