Posting Summary
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rutgers The State University of New Jersey invites applications for a tenuretrack faculty appointment as part of a diversity cluster hiring opportunity on Addressing Health Equity in Agerelated Disorders AHEAD . The AHEAD cluster envisions bringing together a cohort of scholars from the School of Engineering (SoE) School of Arts and Sciences SAS and Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences RBHS to (i) collectively advance knowledge of neurodegenerative disorders (ii) develop treatments and technology solutions that help people experience a higher quality of life as they age and (iii) develop a deeper understanding of the social racial and ethnic health disparities associated with the onset progression and treatment of agerelated neurodegeneration. Within this AHEAD cluster the Department of Biomedical Engineering seeks an individual with research interests and expertise in neurodegenerative disease and related areas of engineering including biomechanics rehabilitation imaging data analysis and others. It is envisioned that this faculty member will contribute to the cluster through the development implementation and validation of new engineering technologies that can drive new basic science or clinical studies. A specific area of focus is on approaches that can potentially lead to increased health equity in aging and neurodegenerative disease. Applications will be accepted through November 30 2024.
