Job Description

Department Overview:

BU is ranked one of the top 50 public universities and is a premier R1 research university. The University's direct impact on the regional economy has reached $1.2 billion. The recent $113 million research award from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) further catalyzes and fosters knowledge transfer and partnerships across industries and academia to advance technology development and innovation in science and engineering, and a $160 million NSF ENGINE grant helps the university to build ecosystems for science discovery and technology advancement. The university attracts outstanding students and award-winning faculty, including 2019 Nobel Laureate Dr. Stanley Whittingham, who are partners in active discovery. The Department has recently launched a workforce training program partnered with the School of Management to develop a Biomanufacturing Project Management Certificate Program funded by BioMADE. The Department also runs a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) PREP postdoc and graduate training program.

The Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department is particularly strong in advanced biomanufacturing, biomaterials, biomechanics, cardiovascular engineering, nanomedicine, neuroengineering, organ-on-a-chip, stem cells, tissue engineering/regenerative medicine, and wearable biosensors. The BME Department is the home of the Center of Biomanufacturing for Regenerative Medicine (CBRM), and the Department has recently formed a joint Institute for Regenerative Medicine with Upstate Medical University. For more information, please visit our website. Funding from private operational support and public capital investment has allowed Binghamton University to establish the New York Center for AI Responsibility and Research, one of the nation's first centers aimed at ethical AI research. The Center will serve as a premier AI research hub for the entire State University of New York system and focus on developing novel technical innovations related to the safety and security of artificial intelligence models and systems.
