Tenure-Track Assistant or Tenured Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering - Medical Imaging

The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at The University of Oklahoma (OU) invites applications for a faculty position in medical imaging at either the tenure-track Assistant Professor or the tenured Associate Professor rank. All areas of medical imaging will be considered, although particular emphasis will be placed on translational cancer research that synergistically engages engineers at OU and clinicians/researchers in the Peggy and Charles Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC) at The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC). Research topics of interest include but are not limited to: development of novel investigative medical imaging modalities such as optical, X-ray, ultrasound, and radionuclide imaging technologies to enable more sensitive cancer detection and monitoring of tumor response to treatment; identification and/or development of new quantitative imaging biomarkers using advanced image processing and artificial intelligence (AI) based technologies; assessment of the efficacy of investigative cancer therapy drugs or procedures using medical imaging methods; development of new AI-based prediction models that fuse both imaging and omics biomarkers. The position is expected to start in 2024.

Candidate Qualifications: A Ph.D. in Engineering, Physics, Medical Physics, or other related fields is required. Successful candidates must have the interest and ability to contribute significantly to the advancement of medical imaging science and engineering and develop a nationally recognized program of sponsored research. To be considered at the tenured Associate Professor rank, successful candidates should have an established vibrant research program with a track record of external funding, preferably from NIH. Successful candidates will be also expected to have a commitment to graduate and undergraduate education.

Application Process: Confidential review of nominations, indications of interest, and applications will begin on February 19, 2024. Candidates are invited to submit a cover letter, detailed curriculum vita, and names of at least three references who will be contacted only upon approval from the applicant at interfolio.com. The cover letter may contain vision statements of research and teaching.  Electronic submission in PDF format is preferred, and all application information and inquiries should be directed to the search committee chair: Javier A.
