The Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering (ChEBE) at Washington State University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in bioengineering at the Assistant Professor level. The position will be based at the Pullman campus. Successful candidates must hold a doctorate in bioengineering, chemical engineering, or a closely related discipline. Applications are especially encouraged from individuals with a strong record of publication in high impact, peer-referred and archival journals and evidence for potential to establish an externally funded research program. Applicants with research in an area closely related to our current strengths in cellular and protein engineering, cellular/tissue biomechanics, biofilm engineering, biochemical engineering and engineering education are encouraged.

The Voiland School currently has 300 undergraduate students, 60 graduate students, of whom 56 are PhD students, and 18 faculty. During fiscal year 2011, faculty in the school were awarded extramural funds totaling $4.14 million from industry, NSF, DOE, DOD, NIH, and ONR and created two new companies from technologies developed as a part of their research. During the next year, we plan to add two additional faculty, including the individual who will be hired into this position. Faculty in the Voiland School are conducting interdisciplinary research and have strong interactions with College of Veterinary Medicine, WSU's newly established School for Global Animal Health, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, as well as other departments in the university. A successful candidate for this position is expected to establish and maintain a funded, innovative and nationally recognized research program, collaborate with others within the School, the University, or other organizations, and develop and teach graduate and undergraduate core and elective courses.

Interested candidates should submit a letter of application, a detailed curriculum vitae, names and contact information of four references, a statement of research plans and a statement of teaching interests to: www.wsujobs.com/applicants/Central?quickFind=56748. The letter should be addressed to Dr. Wen-Ji Dong, Chair Search Committee, Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering, Washington State University.

Screening of application materials will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Preferred starting date of this new position is August 15,2012.
