The Department of Biology and Biomedical Engineering (BBE) at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology seeks candidates for a tenure-track faculty position in Biomedical Engineering at the Assistant Professor level to begin August 2026.

By the time of appointment, candidates must hold a Ph.D. in an engineering discipline, preferably biomedical, and show evidence of or demonstrate potential for excellence in undergraduate teaching. The ideal candidate will use evidence-based approaches to teach introductory biomedical engineering courses and upper-level electives in their area of expertise. While we encourage candidates in all biomedical engineering related fields to apply, experience in teaching and research in statics, mechanics of materials, biomechanics, and biomaterials is preferred.

The biomedical engineering program at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is among the highest quality undergraduate-centered programs in the country. We are committed to employing innovative pedagogy and curriculum design to help undergraduate and Master’s-level students develop

Background:

Volcán Popocatépetl, whose name is the Aztec word for smoking mountain, towers to 5426 m 70 km SE of Mexico City to form North America’s 2nd-highest volcano.  The glacier-clad stratovolcano contains a steep-walled, 250-450 m deep crater.  The generally symmetrical volcano is modified by the sharp-peaked Ventorrillo on the NW, a remnant of an earlier volcano. 
At least three previous major cones were destroyed by gravitational failure during the Pleistocene, producing massive debris-avalanche deposits covering broad areas south of the volcano.  The modern volcano was constructed to the south of the late-Pleistocene to Holocene El Fraile cone.  Three major plinian eruptions, the most recent of which took place about 800 AD, have occurred from Popocatépetl since the mid Holocene, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and voluminous lahars that swept basins below the volcano.  Frequent historical eruptions, first recorded in Aztec codices, have occurred since precolumbian
