The College of Engineering and Information Technology at the University of
Maryland Baltimore
County (UMBC) is seeking to build on our strengths in research that
intersects human health by
making multiple hires at all levels. Examples of research areas include but
are not limited to:
ethical AI for healthcare data, community centered data science to
understand health inequities,
AI analysis of biomedical images for screening and diagnosis, user inspired
design for
rehabilitation engineering, work to understand the relationship between air
quality and health
inequities, and development of novel engineered therapeutics. There are
many exciting areas at
the intersection of health, engineering, and computing, and we are looking
forward to seeing
applications from candidates interested in these intersectional research
areas. As part of the
interview process, candidates will have the opportunity to meet with
departments and select the
department where they feel they will be most successful.

At UMBC, we advance knowledge, economic prosperity, and social justice by
welcoming and
inspiring inquisitive minds from all backgrounds. We are a dynamic public
research university
integrating teaching, research, and service to benefit the citizens of
Maryland. We offer
academically talented students a strong undergraduate foundation that
prepares them for
graduate and professional study, entry into the workforce, and community
service and
leadership. At the graduate level, we emphasize science, engineering,
information
technology, human services, and public policy. Additionally, we contribute
to the economic
development of the State and the region through entrepreneurial
initiatives, workforce training,
K-16 partnerships, and technology commercialization in collaboration with
public agencies and
the corporate community. UMBC is located near Johns Hopkins Medical School,
the University
of Maryland Medical School, NIH, NIST, and DoD medical research command at
Ft. Detrick.
There are phenomenal opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across
universities as well
as government research labs and foundations. The HHMI Janelia Research
Campus is less
than an hour from UMBC.

The College of Engineering and Information Technology has four departments:
Information
Systems, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering, and
Chemical, Biochemical, and Environmental Engineering. The College is a
collaborative
environment where faculty are encouraged and supported to collaborate
across disciplines both
at UMBC and with researchers in other institutions. Community engaged
research is also
strongly supported both by the College and by the Shriver Center that for
over 30 years has
been dedicated to community connections and engagement.

UMBC is located in Baltimore County, 10 minutes from downtown Baltimore.
Our faculty live and
work in the city as well as in the broader Maryland region. The area is
vibrant with fantastic

Candidates must have a PhD by June 2022 to be considered for a position. We
are particularly
interested in receiving applications from individuals who are members of

students.
