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.
