Faculty Positions

regenerative-medicine-Career-OpportuniitiesTo realize the vast potential of tissue engineering and other techniques aimed at repairing damaged or diseased tissues and organs, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center have established the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. The McGowan Institute serves as single base of operations for the university’s leading scientists, engineers and clinical faculty working to develop tissue engineering, cellular therapies, biosurgery, and artificial & biohybrid organ devices. The Institute is devising innovative clinical protocols as well as pursuing rapid commercial transfer of its technologies related to regenerative medicine.

The Institute is actively recruiting faculty with broad expertise in the area of stem cells, cellular therapy, tissue engineering, or medical devices. Primary areas of interest for the candidates can be from any discipline but should focus on cellular therapy and/or tissue engineering. The Institute seeks individuals interested in translating this expertise as part of a larger effort to address a variety of issue and organ insufficiencies. Priority will be given to individuals who have worked with animal disease models and have a demonstrable capacity to lead a research effort that is simultaneously independent and integrative.

The McGowan Institute comprises a group of diverse faculty with expertise in clinical and biomedical science and bioengineering that share a focus on developing solutions to tissue and organ failure. The environment provides excellent research support facilities and the potential to work within one of the nation’s top ten NIH-funded clinical research centers. Applicants must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree, with relevant postdoctoral or other research experience.

Candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, statement of research interests and contact information for three references to:

Search Committee
McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine
Suite 300
450 Technology Drive,
Pittsburgh, PA 15219

Email submissions are welcomed at RMJobs@pitt.edu


Available Positions

The University of Pittsburgh is an affirmative action, equal opportunity institution.

Faculty Position - Department of Bioengineering

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering invites applications by accomplished individuals with a Ph.D. or equivalent in Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, or closely related discipline.  Applicants should have international stature in the biomechanics area. Specialties specific to general soft tissue, cardiovascular (including biofluid mechanics) or musculoskeletal biomechanics will be considered.  The successful candidate will have a track record of well-funded research, broadly cited publications, a collaborative/entrepreneurial spirit, and professional qualifications consistent with appointment as full Professor.

The candidate must have an active and successful research program that would complement or reinforce existing strengths of the University’s Department of Bioengineering (www.engineering.pitt.edu/bioengineering), and must be committed to high quality teaching for a diverse student body at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Located in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, the University of Pittsburgh is a top-5 institution in terms of NIH funding, provides a rich environment for interdisciplinary research, and, through its affiliation with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), a diverse group of clinical collaborators.

The Department of Bioengineering is consistently ranked among the top programs in the country, and has an outstanding multi-disciplinary faculty committed to translational research through extraordinarily close collaborations with the University’s Schools of the Health Sciences and UPMC. The department has strong research and educational programs, offering undergraduate (180 students, sophomore-to-senior years) and graduate (MS, PhD, and MD/PhD; 175 students) degrees.  The McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine (www.mirm-pitt.net), Center for Medical Innovation (www.cmi.engineering.pitt.edu) and Musculoskeletal Research Center (www.pitt.edu/~msrc) offer many research opportunities.  Additional information is available from Dr. David Vorp, chair of the search committee (VorpDA@upmc.edu). The position is to be filled as soon as possible.  Candidates are encouraged to apply early because applications will be reviewed as they are received.

Interested individuals should send the following as PDF attachments via email to bioeapp@pitt.edu: (1) cover letter, (2) complete CV, (3) research statement, (4) teaching statement, (5) three representative publications, (6) funding record (if not included as a distinct section in the CV), and (7) list of at least five references (with full contact information).   We highly encourage candidates from underrepresented US minority groups and/or females to apply for these positions.  The University of Pittsburgh is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, gender identity, marital status, national or ethnic origin, race, religion, sexual orientation or veteran status.
