The School of Engineering & Applied Science at Washington University in St. Louis and the Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine has established an imaging sciences and engineering initiative involving the following departments:  Biomedical Engineering, Cell Biology & Physiology, Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical & Systems Engineering, Radiology and Radiation Oncology for the hiring of up to 12 faculty positions at all ranks to begin as early as July 1, 2017.   

Washington University in St. Louis is a vibrant community of scholars and offers unparalleled opportunities for collaborative research opportunities at its world-renowned medical center.  It is a private university with roughly 7,000 full-time undergraduates and 7,000 graduate students. It is nationally known for the exceptional quality of its student body and for its attractive campus, which borders residential neighborhoods and one of the nation’s largest urban parks.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. degree in quantitative science (e.g. engineering, physical sciences) or a related field, and will be expected to maintain a rigorous extramurally funded research program. Broad research areas of interest in imaging science include agents, genetics, computation, informatics, instruments, physics, and translation.  We invite applicants in all areas, but added attention will be given to those whose strength lies in using quantitative approaches to make fundamental or translational advancements in imaging sciences.  The successful candidate will be expected to actively engage in the research and training activities of their home department by advising doctoral students, and developing collaborations with other faculty members and programs at Washington University in St. Louis and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Applicants should send: (1) a cover letter with potential preference for home department(s); (2) a curriculum vitae; (3) a statement of research plans (approximately 2-3 pages); (4) a statement describing the applicant's important biological, medical, or engineering contributions; and (5) a list of at least three references with telephone numbers and email addresses (references provided by senior applicants will not be contacted until applicant has given permission).  For full consideration, submit applications by December 31, 2016 via http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/8390.   Professor Steven C. George and Professor Joseph Culver will co-chair the search committees, and can address academic or research related questions.  Administrative questions may be addressed to Ms. Karen Teasdale.    You may contact these individuals at imagingsearch@wustl.edu.

The selection process will begin January 2017 and will continue until the positions are filled.
