The Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department at Bucknell University
invites applications for the inaugural Emmitt Memorial Professor of
Instruction to begin August 2023. The initial position is for three
years, with regular reappointments and opportunities for
advancement along this track. With this new position, Bucknell's
Biomedical Engineering Department is seeking a faculty colleague
passionate about innovation in undergraduate BME education. We
expect to hire at the assistant professor level but are open to
considering outstanding candidates at other ranks. This position is
ideal for candidates interested in a teaching-focused career in
academia with an emphasis on undergraduate instruction, curriculum
development and innovation, student engagement, and departmental
and college community.
This 9-month, teaching professor position includes a 6 course
teaching load split over two semesters, with additional
expectations of new course development, departmental contributions,
college and university service and undergraduate student advising.
A candidate interested in pursuing enhanced service,
administrative, or leadership opportunities at Bucknell could seek
a reduction in teaching load in consultation with the department
chair (contingent upon the needs of the department). Such pursuits
should be student-focused and could include, but are not limited
to, development of clinical and/or community-based learning
experiences for students, healthcare technology design,
cross-college connections to the liberal arts or management,
inclusive excellence efforts, accreditation activities, or other
supplemental educational activities for students. Optional
compensated summer student engagement opportunities are also
possible, including clinical collaborations, supporting College of
Engineering programs such as Engineering Camp and the engineering
EXCELerator, teaching summer courses, and participation in
cross-college initiatives.
This new colleague would join a top-ranked, highly selective
undergraduate biomedical engineering department with small class
sizes (Minimum Qualifications:
A successful candidate must be ABD or have a Ph.D. in biomedical
engineering or a closely related discipline at time of appointment.
Clear evidence of the potential for teaching excellence is
essential, and a strong interest in continued professional
development is expected. The candidate should demonstrate a
commitment to working successfully with a diverse student body,
utilizing inclusive pedagogies, and fostering highly collaborative
environments.
