Position description The University of California, Santa Barbara (UC Santa Barbara) seeks to appoint a new faculty member at the rank of Assistant Professor in
the Department of Bioengineering. The candidate will join a highly successful public research university committed to the principles of research and teaching excellence, interdisciplinary education, and collaborative science. This is an exciting and pivotal time in the Department of Bioengineering, which is the newest department in the highly ranked College of Engineering, with a forward-looking vision of Innovating
for Life. The College counts among its faculty 4 Nobel laureates, 17 members of the National Academy of Engineering, 5 members of the National Academy of Science, and 16 Fellows of the National Academy of Inventors. Engineering for and from biology provides new solutions to improve human, environmental, and global health. The questions of who designs these solutions, who we engineer for, and how these solutions
impact society are important to our faculty. UC Santa Barbara understands that this is too important to the future of our society to be left to a single discipline or limited population -- and the Department of Bioengineering and our faculty are ready to address these questions head-on in authentic partnership with thought leaders across our campus and the world. We especially encourage candidates who will benefit
from interaction with several established and growing initiatives on campus, including our strength in shared use facilities. UC Santa Barbara Engineering is home to the NSF Biofoundry for Extreme and Exceptional Fungi, Archaea, and Bacteria (ExFAB), the BioPACIFIC NSF Materials Innovation Platform for BioPolymers, the CIRM funded Stem Cell Institute, NSF Quantum Foundry, and the Materials Research Laboratory
