In addition to the two tenure track faculty positions (see March below) we are also seeking visiting faculty members to help with our teaching responsibilities as we transition to the new School of Science and Engineering. These teaching positions will be available in August 2006. For details about the positions and how to apply, see the PDF file, available here.
4/23/2006: We held our Annual Undergraduate Research and Design Conference in the Boggs Center. This year, our Conference was supported by funds donated by the Whitaker Foundation, the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh, and the Asian-American Institute for Research and Education (see links in January and February, below). A PDF (9 MB) of the 2006 Proceedings is available here.
4/21/2006: We welcomed back the Department's founding Chair, William C. Van Buskirk, who gave a Suhren Lecture on the "History of Engineering at Tulane."

We seek candidates for two tenure track faculty positions in Biomedical Engineering. These positions, with start dates as early as August 2006, were to have been advertised in Fall 2005, but the search was delayed due to Hurricane Katrina. For details about the positions and how to apply, see the PDF file, available here.
We gratefully acknowledge the recent gift from the students and faculty in Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh. Funds donated by students and faculty were matched by the Asian-American Institute for Research and Education, directed by Savio L-Y. Woo, Ph.D., D.Sc. (Hon). The funds were donated to assist Biomedical Engineering as we recover in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
