Examples of interdisciplinary research fields include cellular engineering, gene editing and  therapies, synthetic biology, antibody and protein design and production, biocatalysis and enzyme engineering, bioreactor design, metabolic engineering and fermentation, and other biochemical routes to  synthesize platform chemicals, sustainable materials, proteins, biopolymers, and other industrial products  from biological resources.

The successful candidate is expected to: (1) establish an outstanding, internationally recognized research program (2) foster and establish collaborations and partnerships within and outside the College of Engineering, as well as industry, (3) exhibit a strong commitment to teaching excellence at both the  undergraduate and graduate levels, and (4) compete successfully for extramural funding to support research  and a companion graduate and postdoctoral training program. 
 
Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, bioengineering,  or a closely related discipline, and an excellent research record in an area broadly associated with bio-based engineering and manufacturing of therapeutic cells, animal cells, plant cells, and/or sustainable chemicals,  biomaterials, and industrial products.

The School of Chemical, Materials, and Biomedical Engineering is building a vibrant academic  environment that fosters engineering education in a liberal arts environment and research that addresses  critical societal needs. The School offers undergraduate and graduate engineering degree programs in  biochemical engineering and biological engineering and has grown rapidly to over 450 undergraduate and  graduate students and 23 faculty members.
