The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (https://bme.umass.edu) is embarking on a strategic hiring program enabled by additional investments from the Riccio endowment and the UMass Institute for Applied Life Sciences (IALS). The BME Department is seeking candidates for the Riccio Endowed Chair Professorship at the rank of Associate or Full Professor with tenure. The position is open to candidates in any area of biomedical engineering. We are particularly interested in candidates with a compelling vision for enhancing the national and international visibility of the department and college, and a strong interest in building strategic collaborations with UMass Chan Medical School. We seek an established leader with a strong, sustained record of external research funding and high-impact scholarly publications. Benefiting from the university's strong history of both intra- and inter-departmental collaboration, as well as partnerships with UMass Chan, our department is on a rapid ascent. The projected start date for this position is September 1, 2027.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering or a closely related field, currently hold a tenured appointment at the rank of Associate or Full Professor or an equivalent senior position in industry, a national laboratory, or a research institute, and have a record of external research funding as a principal investigator. The successful candidate will have the ability to lead large, multi-investigator or center-level initiatives and will be expected to maintain a nationally and internationally recognized scholarly presence and to mentor junior faculty. Candidates will also be expected to teach existing undergraduate and graduate courses in our curriculum in biomedical engineering, in addition to developing courses in their area of expertise. The University expects to pay within an approximate range between $177,900 and $288,900 for this position.

Applications should be received by December 15, 2026, to ensure full consideration. Review of applications will begin immediately after this date and continue until the position is filled. Applicants should submit PDF files that include a Cover Letter, Research Statement, Teaching Statement, Collaboration and Outreach Statement, Vision Statement, Curriculum Vitae, and Contact Information for three professional references.
