The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tufts University is conducting an ongoing search for highly qualified, enthusiastic part-time lecturers. We invite applications from individuals who are interested in teaching courses for undergraduate and graduate students based on the applicants' professional expertise and the BME Department's area(s) of need. Some areas of interest include technical writing, biomedical instrument design, computing in engineering, and fundamentals of biological systems, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Tufts' School of Engineering (SOE) distinguishes itself by the interdisciplinary focus and integrative nature of its engineering education and research programs, within the intellectually rich environment of both a "Research I" university and a top-ranked undergraduate institution. The past ten years have been a period of extraordinary growth for SOE at Tufts, with recruitment of over half of its current tenured and tenure-track faculty members and a more than three-fold increase in research productivity. Tufts offers the best of a liberal arts college atmosphere, coupled with the intellectual and technological resources of a major research university. Home to seven graduate and professional schools across three campuses, Tufts University prides itself on its culture of cross-school partnerships. Located on Tufts' Medford/Somerville campus, only six miles from historic downtown Boston, SOE faculty members have extensive opportunities for academic and industrial collaboration, as well as participation in the rich intellectual life of the region.
