Tenure-Track Faculty Positions

September 16, 2025

The MIT Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES) 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, 2026 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.

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 should 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)
