Assistant​/Associate Professor in One Health - Medicines - College of Engineering

Job Summary

Strategic Faculty Recruitment Initiative in One Health – Intelligent Medicines – College of Engineering

Purdue University Main Campus | Indianapolis and West Lafayette, IN

Tenure-Track/Tenured Faculty Positions at Assistant and Associate Ranks

As part of Purdue University’s strategic investment in One Health – Intelligent Medicines, the College of Engineering invites applications for up to two tenure-track or tenured faculty positions at the Assistant or Associate Professor levels.

While all areas within the Intelligent Medicine theme are of interest, we are particularly focused on attracting candidates who specialize in:

• Advanced Manufacturing, Therapeutics Development, and Non-animal Models of Disease.
• Intelligent Production and Supply Chain Systems and Human Factors in Healthcare, Medicine and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing.

Candidates whose research integrates emerging technologies and methodologies, including, but not limited to, artificial intelligence (AI), digital twins, reconfigurable systems, and novel experimental platforms are particularly encouraged to apply. Applicants should indicate in their application materials whether a primary appointment in Industrial Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or Chemical Engineering would be most appropriate. Joint appointments across the College and University are possible for all candidates.

This strategic recruitment will help advance Purdue’s One Health initiative ( https://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).) which seeks to tackle complex challenges with real-world impact at the intersection of human, animal, and plant health. This recruitment initiative builds on previous strategic faculty recruitment initiatives in: (1) Integrated Health; (2) AI-Driven Biomolecular Design, and (3) Advanced Chemistry. In addition, a parallel strategic faculty recruitment initiative in Healthy and Resilient Living Systems is ongoing.

Through academic programs, research, facility infrastructure and industry partnerships, Purdue is making giant leaps in improving health outcomes for all living things and driving economic growth regionally and globally. This strategic faculty recruitment initiative focused on Intelligent Medicines is expected to build on prior recruitment initiatives and existing Purdue research and academic strengths, to transform research and impact human, animal, and environmental health by bridging silos and fostering collaboration across disciplines.

The Intelligent Medicines theme seeks to create a framework that improves human, animal, and environmental health through the integration of technology, data, and systems thinking. This faculty recruitment initiative is disease agnostic and aims to establish new capabilities in AI-enabled therapeutic development, non-animal models of disease, advanced manufacturing, intelligent health systems, digital twins, robotics, human factors, supply chain resilience, and health technology innovation.

By combining strengths in device innovation, computational intelligence, manufacturing systems, and healthcare operations, Purdue intends to create a highly visible flagship that strengthens industry engagement, expands workforce development opportunities, and attracts significant external funding.
