Successful applicants will share in our vision to be a BME
department recognized for high impact research and delivering an
exceptional engineering education. We seek creative individuals
eager to work in a collaborative interdisciplinary environment,
have demonstrated research excellence, are outstanding educators
and mentors, and will contribute to a climate that attracts and

in vivo animal imaging, histology, and biomechanics), the Center
for Biomedical and Brain Imaging (3T human and 9.4T small
animal/specimen MRIs), the Delaware Biotechnology Institute
(world-class Bio-Imaging Center, DNA sequencing & genotyping,
bioinformatics, and proteomics cores), and core labs for
human-based studies. Access to active outpatient clinics is
fostered through long-standing partnerships with UD’s outstanding
Physical Therapy Department. UD BME also enjoys close relationships
and opportunities for innovative clinical and translational
collaborations with Nemours Children’s Health, Thomas Jefferson
University, the University of Pennsylvania, and others. UD is home
