The individual should have a Ph.D. in bioengineering or a closely related field and a strong interest in teaching and research. The Colorado School of Mines is expanding its curriculum and research focus into the areas of Bioengineering and Life Sciences as a result of a State of Colorado initiative. Areas of interest include implant engineering, biomedical devices, orthopedics, biosensors and bioinstrumentation, bio-imaging and signal processing, bionics, biomechanics, and sensory augmentation. The Division of Engineering offers a nontraditional, ABET accredited undergraduate degree in Engineering. It also offers graduate M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Engineering Systems.
All programs are interdisciplinary.
The undergraduate program offers specialties in Civil, Electrical, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering. At the graduate level, the program seeks depth at the interfaces between the more traditional engineering disciplines. Interdisciplinary collaboration across campus is also strongly encouraged. CSM is an equal-opportunity employer, which encourages applications from minorities and women.
