Position in Biomedical Engineering

[Ernest Stokely]

                         Tenure Track Faculty Position
                          --------------------------
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham has an opening for a tenure-track faculty member.  The opening
is being filled as part of a Whitaker Foundation Special Opportunities
Award for a training and research program in functional and structural
imaging of the brain.  Candidates are particularly invited in
cross-disciplinary areas of neurosystems, biological neural networks,
computational neurobiology, or other multidisciplinary areas that combine
neurobiology and imaging.  The person selected for this position will be
expected to form active research collaborations with other units in the
Medical Affairs part of the UAB campus.  Candidates should have a Ph.D.
degree in engineering or a related field, and must be a U.S. citizen or
have permanent residency in the U.S.  The search will be continued until
the position is filled.

UAB is an autonomous campus within the University of Alabama system.  UAB
faculty currently are involved in over $140 million of externally funded
grants and contracts.  A 4.1 Tesla clinical NMR facility for cardiovascular
research, several other small-bore MR systems, a Philips Gyroscan system,
and a team of research scientists and engineers working in various aspects
of MR imaging and spectroscopy are housed only 200 meters from the School
of Engineering.  In addition, the brain imaging project will involve
collaborations with members of the Neurobiology Center, as well as faculty
members from the Departments of Neurology, Psychiatry, and Radiology.

To apply send a letter of application, a current curriculum vitae, and
three letters of reference to Dr. Ernest Stokely, Department of Biomedical
Engineering, BEC 256, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham,
Alabama 35294-4461.  The University of Alabama at Birmingham is an equal
opportunity, affirmative action employer, and encourages applications from
qualified women and minorities.
