• Demonstrated experience with creating control systems and data acquisition using Arduino or National Instrument DAQ controllers in software such as Visual Studio or LabView.
• Experience using motion capture technology and associated 3D kinematic analysis.
• Familiarity with software tools (e.g., MIMICS, MeshLab) for image processing and 3D reconstruction of medical image data from MRI and CT.
• Familiarity with reverse engineering software tools (e.g., Geomagic Design X, Studio, Wrap)
• Experience with software required to create and run finite element models (e.g., ABAQUS, Truegrid, FEBio).
• Coding experience using Python language (especially within ABAQUS) a positive, but not a requirement.
• Experience in technical writing including protocol development (e.g., for Institutional Review Board and laboratory studies), code documentation, and manuscript preparation.
• Ability to clearly communicate and present engineering topics in layman’s terms to non-engineers.
• Willingness to work in areas outside of expertise.
• Ability to work independently within timelines using critical thinking skills towards a long-term vision.
• Demonstrated expertise using scientific computing software, such as MATLAB, applied to techniques in data processing (e.g., logical indexing), linear algebra (e.g., matrix transformations), numerical analysis (e.g., Newton algorithms), systems and signals (e.g., digital filtering), and data visualization (e.g., box plots).

The University sponsors a range of developmental activities for its visiting faculty supported by a well-resourced Teaching and Learning Center. Candidates would have the potential to engage in both innovative teaching and collaborative scholarship within Bucknell’s excellent core facilities, notably our recently opened teaching and laboratory facilities (fall 2019) supporting modestly increased student enrollments. The appointment is for the 2021-2022 academic year; reappointment may be possible subject to institutional need and satisfactory performance. 

We seek individuals with enthusiasm for teaching and a desire to engage undergraduates in the classroom and laboratory across a broad range of biomedical engineering subjects. The ideal candidate would have teaching abilities in multiple areas to support a biomedical engineering curriculum containing courses in bioinstrumentation, signals and systems, biomechanics, materials, biostatistics, computing, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and medical device design. 

A successful candidate must be ABD or have a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering or a closely related engineering discipline at time of appointment. Clear evidence of the potential for teaching excellence is essential, and a strong interest in continued professional development is expected. The candidate should demonstrate a commitment to working successfully with a diverse student body, utilizing inclusive pedagogies, and fostering highly collaborative environments. 

Applications must include a cover letter, a current C.V., and three statements of no more than two pages each describing the applicant’s 1) teaching philosophy, experience relevant to the Bucknell biomedical engineering curriculum, and identification of current required and new elective courses they would be interested in teaching at Bucknell, 2) evidence of a commitment to diversity and engaging students in an inclusive environment, and 3) career goals and how this position aligns with those goals. Applicants should be prepared to provide references upon request.
