Founding Chair and Professor - Biomedical Engineering - Tenured
The Cullen College of Engineering of the University of Houston expects to inaugurate a Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME). We invite nominations and applications for the position of Founding Chair of this Department.
As part of a major drive for excellence, the College is in the process of establishing a new BME Department. We seek innovative and enthusiastic leadership to build a leading BME Department. The successful candidate must possess academic credentials of the highest caliber, with an established international reputation in research, as well as in academic and professional leadership in biomedical engineering.
BME currently has two tenure-track faculty and plans to add 12 faculty positions within the next five years.

Existing biomedical research strengths in the College, at the University, and at the neighboring Texas Medical Center provide a unique environment to build a stellar department (http://www.egr.uh.edu/bioe).
The position is available beginning Fall 2008 with competitive salary and benefits. The Committee will accept and review applications until the position is filled.
