The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tufts University is conducting an ongoing search for highly qualified, enthusiastic part-time lecturers. We invite applications from individuals who are interested in teaching courses for undergraduate and graduate students based on the applicants’ professional expertise. Some areas of interest include technical writing, biomedical instrument design, computing in engineering, and fundamentals of biological systems.
Tufts’ School of Engineering (SOE) distinguishes itself by the interdisciplinary focus and integrative nature of its engineering education and research programs, within the intellectually rich environment of both a "Research I" university and a top-ranked undergraduate institution. The past ten years have been a period of extraordinary growth for SOE at Tufts, with recruitment of over half of its current tenured and tenure-track faculty members and a more than three-fold increase in research productivity. Tufts offers the best of a liberal arts college atmosphere, coupled with the intellectual and technological resources of a major research university. Home to seven graduate and professional schools across three campuses, Tufts University prides itself on its culture of cross-school partnerships. Located on Tufts’ Medford/Somerville campus, only six miles from historic downtown Boston, SOE faculty members have extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaboration, as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the region.
An ideal candidate will possess prior teaching experience, especially with undergraduate students, and have an engaging teaching style. The candidate must have a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring. Strong preference is given to applicants with a PhD in Biomedical Engineering or an appropriately related field.
Questions about the position should be directed to the Biomedical Engineering Department Manager, Lorin.Polidora@tufts.edu. Candidates should submit a Cover Letter and Curriculum Vitae (CV) including any prior university teaching experience, and are encouraged to demonstrate attention to diversity and inclusion. All materials should be submitted via Interfolio at https://apply.interfolio.com/105443. Review of applications will begin August 2022 and will continue until the positions are filled.
