The Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Vermont (UVM) seeks applicants for a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer position in Biomedical Engineering, with an expected start date of August 24, 2026 for Fall Semester. We seek highly motivated individuals who are excited to lead the instructional components of a biomedical innovation and design curriculum that spans all four undergraduate years. Applicants should be able to teach courses in engineering design in addition to developing and instructing courses in their technical areas of expertise. Applicants with backgrounds from across the biomedical engineering field, and particularly those with industry, research, or development experience in biomedical innovation are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be expected to teach, advise, and mentor undergraduate and graduate students. Candidates with significant related experience may be considered for a Senior Lecturer appointment.

This hire would serve as an instructional leader in UVM’s Center for Biomedical Innovation (CBI; https://www.uvm.edu/ cems/center-biomedical-innovation) and interface with the newly opened BioLabs Innovation Center at UVM (https://www.uvm.edu/ovpr/biolabs), which supports entrepreneurs to scale up research and development. In addition to broadly supporting academic research commercialization, the CBI aims to address pressing challenges in rural medicine, environmental sustainability in healthcare, as well as the training of future MedTech inventors and business leaders. In collaboration with UVM Innovations, Colleges across the campus, and the regional industry, the CBI serves as an experiential learning hub for students seeking access to real-world innovation projects. From engaging with local healthcare providers to collaborating with Vermont’s growing technology and innovation ecosystem, the CBI provides a platform for students to make a tangible impact beyond the classroom. This role will help strengthen those connections, ensuring that our graduates are prepared to lead in the evolving landscape of biomedical technology and healthcare innovation.

The Biomedical Engineering Program at UVM leverages strong curricular and research ties with the University’s Larner College of Medicine and the University of Vermont Health (a regional referral center providing advanced care for more than 1 million patients), which are all located within a short walk on campus to the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences. The BME Program values interdisciplinary research and innovative approaches to engineering education, as illustrated by a new undergraduate curriculum focused on design thinking and active learning. The BME major enjoys high student enrollment and a strong culture of undergraduate design and research. With this hire, the BME program seeks to deepen or expand our current expertise in rural healthcare, biomechanics, bioimaging, biomaterials, regenerative medicine, protein engineering, computational modeling, and drug delivery.

The University of Vermont is a welcoming, educationally purposeful community committed to creating an inclusive environment that embraces intellectual diversity and global perspectives. We seek to prepare students to be accountable leaders who will bring to their work a grasp of complexity, effective problem-solving and communication skills, and an enduring commitment to learning and ethical conduct. Members of the University of Vermont community embrace and advance the values of Our Common Ground: Respect, Integrity, Innovation, Openness, Justice, and Responsibility. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to UVM’s mission and advancing Our Common Ground values through their teaching, service, and scholarship. To that end, candidates must provide a statement as part of the application detailing how they, as a faculty member, would enhance the impact of Our Common Ground values at UVM.

The University of Vermont, established in 1791, is a comprehensive research university with a current enrollment of 12,000+ undergraduate, graduate, and medical students. The scientific and academic environments in the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering, the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, and throughout the UVM community are dynamic, highly collaborative, and multi-disciplinary. Reflecting our innovative and collaborative spirit, our faculty actively collaborate in their teaching and research with faculty in other UVM Colleges and Schools, plus UVM Health shares our campus. The successful candidate will be joining UVM following a period of unprecedented growth that has led to the successful completion of world-class STEM facilities, and the development of ABET­ accredited BS degree, and MS and PhD degrees in Biomedical Engineering. In February 2025, UVM achieved R1 status, recognizing the University as a high-level research institution for our commitment to academic excellence and innovation.

The University is located in Burlington, Vermont, and enjoys a panoramic setting on the shores of Lake Champlain, between the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Adirondack Mountains of New York. Burlington, a city of 43,000 in a metropolitan area of 214,000, is often rated as one of the best small cities in America. Widely known for its music and food scene as well as its outdoor and adventure lifestyle (Outside Magazine and National Geographic), Burlington has also been hailed as a top technology hub (Forbes) and a city of the future (Business Insider). Furthermore, Burlington’s vibrant entrepreneurial and high-technology ecosystem has been recognized by the National Science Foundation’s US Ignite program, the national TechHire City network, and the Kauffman Foundation. While located in the idyllic rural state of Vermont, our frontier paradise is only a two-hour drive to Montreal and a four-hour drive to Boston. In addition, Burlington International Airport offers direct flights to numerous North American destinations.
