The Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES) http://imes.mit.edu/ at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in Cambridge, Massachusetts, invites applicants to apply for tenure-track faculty positions in all areas of science and engineering with application to health sciences to begin July 1, 2027 or on a mutually agreed date thereafter. Established in 2012, IMES is an inclusive community of students, administrative staff, research staff, and faculty who research, work, educate, and learn, at the convergence of engineering, science, and medicine to transform human health for all. Appointment will be at the assistant professor level. In special cases, however, an untenured associate or senior faculty appointment may be possible, commensurate with experience. The appointment will be made in partnership with a relevant science or engineering department. The position will have equal academic responsibilities in IMES and the partner department. Applicants must hold an MD or a PhD in a science or engineering field related to health sciences by the beginning of employment. While all research areas are of interest, IMES encourages applications from candidates whose research and teaching interests would be enhanced and accelerated through deep engagement with both basic and clinical partners, and whose research program intimately involves the development and/or application of advanced computational methods. Examples include, but are not limited to: Clinical data generation, analysis, and sharing to improve health care delivery; The development, testing, and analysis of devices, sensors, & interfaces (mechanical, optical, electrical, chemical), and their products, to advance health care and its delivery; Methods and modeling to understand the impact of environmental shifts on human health; Deriving insights into human diseases through epidemiological research and mechanistic modeling; Improving our ability to understand, predict, and manipulate human immune responses (e.g., in the context of infectious diseases, neuro-immune interactions, or women's health) The successful candidate will be expected to fulfill all teaching, research, and service obligations of a tenure-track faculty member at MIT. Faculty duties include teaching courses in both the candidate's home science/engineering department and in Health Science & Technology at the undergraduate and graduate levels, advising students, conducting original scholarly research, developing course materials at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and service to MIT and the profession. Interested candidates should submit application materials electronically at https://faculty searches.mit.edu/imes-search/.

Each application must include:

a curriculum vitae; the names and addresses of three or more references; a strategic statement of research interests; a statement of teaching interests; and three representative recent publications. It is the responsibility of the candidate to arrange for reference letters to be uploaded at https://faculty-searches.mit.edu/imes-search/letters/. Please address questions to imes-search@mit.edu . Complete application materials received by December 1, 2026 will be given priority. MIT is an equal employment opportunity employer.
