Purdue University College of Engineering and College of Science
Faculty Opening in Integrated Imaging
Purdue University’s College of Engineering
and College of Science have identified imaging as a major thrust for
cross-disciplinary research and education and are accepting applications
for tenured and tenure track faculty (Assistant and Associate
Professor) in this area. Imaging research has become the key to progress
in fields such as medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, earth and
atmospheric science; and the resulting technologies are addressing major
human needs in healthcare, medicine, security, manufacturing, and
communication. Purdue University has
embarked on a new “integrated-imaging” initiative to exploit the
synergy between science and engineering, algorithms and devices, sensors
and applications. This initiative will build on strengths and leverage
the imaging capabilities of both Purdue Colleges and Purdue’s Discovery
and Research Parks.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in Engineering, Science or a related field. They
should have a distinguished academic record, exceptional potential for
world-class research, and a commitment to teach in both undergraduate
and graduate programs. Specific research fields of interest in the
integrated-imaging cluster include, but are not limited to electron and light microscopy,
whole body imaging, image processing, inverse methods, multimodal
imaging, hyperspectral imaging, and sensor systems. The successful
candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate courses in topics
related to integrated imaging, conduct research in their field of
expertise, publish and present research findings, participate in
professional activities, and advise graduate student research. The
primary faculty appointment will be in a school of the College of
Engineering or a department of the College of Science, and will depend
on the candidate’s qualifications.
Submit your application online at: https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/AboutUs/Employment/Applications.
The application should include a cover letter, a complete and detailed
vitae, and statements of research and teaching interests. Also, please
include names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses for
three or more references. For questions regarding the application
process, please contact Marion Ragland (ragland@purdue.edu).
Screening of applications will begin May 3, 2012 and will continue
until the position is filled. A background check will be required for
employment in this position.
