Job Description - Research Assistant Professor - Electrical and Computer Engineering (FAC002001)
Research Assistant Professor - Electrical and Computer Engineering - (FAC002001)
Organization H0070 Electrical Engineering
Salary: Commensurate with experience
Description The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) invites applications for three Research Assistant Professor (non-tenure track) positions in the area of Electrical and Computer Engineering, with emphasis on the development of modeling electromagnetic behavior of active & passive implantable medical devices during magnetic resonance (MR) scanning, and assessing the related safety issues including, but not limited to, heating, rectification, and malfunction.
The primary responsibility is to research behavior modeling of active/passive implantable medical devices under MR, design related measuring methods/instruments, validate the modeling, and evaluate the MR safety for active/passive implantable medical devices. Candidates are expected to have a strong theoretical and experimental background in MRI safety analysis, electromagnetic theory, microwave engineering, computational electromagnetics, with a strong background in electromagnetic modeling using HFSS/SEMCAD, and electromagnetic compatibility analysis. A proven record of MR safety knowledge, electromagnetic modeling and analysis, waveguide modeling, bioheat transfer simulation, and simulations and measurements for MR safety issues is required for appointment.
These appointments are for 12 months and renewable dependent on funding. The positions' start date is 9/1/24. Continued employment and the possibility of reappointment are contingent upon availability of funding, annual review, and continued need for the position within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. For more information, please visit the department website at: http://www.ece.uh.edu/ Applicants must have earned a doctorate in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field at the time of application.
Qualifications This MR safety research is conducted by highly dynamic team members. Candidates are expected to assume a leadership position in several aspects of this research effort. Prior experience supervising masters, PhD, and/or Post-Doctoral level team members, and excellent oral and written communication skills, as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications and presentations are required.
Position 1 & 2: The candidates should have a solid background in electromagnetics. They will work in the area of MR safety for active implantable medical devices. Candidates should be able to perform electromagnetic simulations with software packages such as Sim4Life, HFSS, and carry out experimental studies. A Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering is preferred. Candidates should have at least 3 years of experience with medical safety under MRI.
Position 3: The candidate should have a solid background in electromagnetics. They will work in the area of MR safety for passive implantable medical devices. Candidates should be able to perform electromagnetic simulations with software packages such as Sim4Life, HFSS, and carry out experimental studies. A Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering is preferred. The candidate should have at least 3 years of experience with medical safety under MRI.
Notes to Applicant: Official transcripts are required for a faculty appointment and will be requested upon selection of final candidates. All positions at the University of Houston are security sensitive and will require a criminal history check.
Required Attachments by Candidate: Curriculum Vitae, Cover Letter/Letter of Application
