Tenure Track Faculty Position in Neural Engineering

The Duke University Department of Biomedical Engineering (Duke BME) in the Pratt School of Engineering is seeking applicants for an open tenure-track faculty position in neural engineering. Applications are welcome from investigators at all career stages, but early career researchers including those pursuing their first independent position are particularly encouraged to apply. We encourage applications in the broadly defined areas of neuroscience coupled to technological and biomedical innovation, computational modeling and analysis of the brain at all scales, non-invasive imaging or stimulation of the nervous system, and novel tools and applications for clinical translation.

We are open to other areas of neural engineering as well.

Duke BME is a driving force in creating engineering knowledge and novel biomedical technology that improve the human condition through the advancement of clinical care and biomedical science. The Department is within walking distance of Duke University School of Medicine and Duke University Hospital, and we work closely with medical professionals to identify important clinical problems that impact human health and solve them using our technical expertise.

Duke University and Duke BME are strongly committed to advancing inclusive excellence throughout our research, teaching, and service activities.

Applicants should have an earned doctorate in biomedical engineering, bioengineering, neuroscience, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, or a related field.
