Assistant Teaching Professor -- Bioengineering Education -- Department of Bioengineering

The UC Berkeley Department of Bioengineering invites applicants for an open Assistant Teaching Professor position. Assistant Teaching Professors are members of the Academic Senate, enjoy full faculty privileges, and undergo a final assessment for promotion to Associate Teaching Professor (with equivalent to tenure). The department welcomes applicants with interests in a broad range of bioengineering curriculum, pedagogical development, and mentorship to undergraduate and graduate students. The responsibilities of this Assistant Teaching Professor will emphasize teaching core Bioengineering courses, assuming a leadership role in designing curricula for undergraduate Bioengineering courses, and supporting the general teaching mission of the department. Teaching Professors are educational professionals who combine institutional excellence with professional and/or scholarly achievement and activity, including creative activity, especially as they relate to instruction and pedagogy. Teaching Professors are also expected to maintain an active program of educational and/or disciplinary scholarship, and to contribute to department service as senate faculty.

The UC Berkeley Department of Bioengineering is at the forefront of integrating engineering, biological sciences, and translational medicine to discover fundamental principles in biological systems and develop clinical technologies that advance healthcare. In addition to strong ties with other departments in the College of Engineering, the Department enjoys close relationships with the faculty of biological sciences, physics and chemistry at UC Berkeley, as well as the School of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Faculty in Bioengineering are also active participants in the Center for Computational Biology and the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society, as well as active users of the extensive computational resources on campus and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. This exceptional environment for teaching and research in the rapidly growing field of biotechnology will provide the successful candidate with unique opportunities for intellectual, technological, and pedagogical leadership.

The Department of Bioengineering is building a vibrant and diverse community and stands in full support of the mission and principles of community of the University of California, Berkeley. These principles of community are rooted in our mission of teaching, research, and public service. They reflect our passion for critical inquiry, debate, discovery and innovation, and our deep commitment to contributing to a better world.
