<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Department of Bioengineering in the J. B. Speed School of Engineering at the University of Louisville (UofL) was founded in 2004 and has quickly become a leader in education and translational research. In
2010, our department became the first bioengineering program in the country to be dual-level accredited by the ABET EAC for the integrated Bachelor of Science and Master of Engineering degrees. In 2011, the UofL Department of Bioengineering received the Coulter
Translational Partnership Award from the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation to promote translational research between bioengineers and clinicians. UofL is currently ranked as a Carnegie Research Intensive institution that has gained international recognition in
recent years for its pioneering research in the areas of BioMEMS/NEMS (new top-10 cleanroom in the US), Cardiovascular Devices (1st Totally Implantable Artificial Heart Procedure), Cancer Therapy ($80M Brown Cancer Center), Orthopedics (1st hand transplant
in U.S.), Neurosurgery and Neuroscience (1</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt">st
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">to establish voluntary movement in a paraplegic patient), and Stem Cell Biology (Institute for Cellular Therapeutics). The bioengineering effort is a fast growing program with eight full-time faculty conducting bioengineering
research currently supported by over $13M in extramural funding. A primary mission of the Bioengineering Department is to develop a top research program for the discovery and commercialization of technologies that will translate into effective therapies, restore
patient quality of life, and stimulate economic development. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Bioengineering Department is recruiting two endowed chairs - one in the area of BioMEMS and the other in the area of Cardiac Implant Science to partner with researchers in the Brown Cancer Center, Kentucky
Spinal Cord Injury Research Center and Cardiovascular Innovation Institute. Applications and nominations will be accepted and reviewed on a continuous basis until all the positions are filled. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to leverage
the University's recent $30M investment in MEMS and nanotechnology through the use of the new AGI-designed 10,000 sq ft class 100/1000 MicroNanoTechnology Cleanroom.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
