Employment
Department Head and Professor
Bioengineering at Illinois stands at the forefront of interdisciplinary research and education, integrating engineering principles with the life sciences to solve grand challenges in human health and sustainability. In addition to degrees in bioengineering, the department also offers the very first undergraduate degrees in the nation in Neural Engineering and CS+Bioengineering, Professional Masters in Bioengineering, Masters in Biomedical Image Computing, a certificate in AI and Medicine, and Ph.D. degrees are also offered. The department fosters a vibrant collaborative research environment covering interdisciplinary areas including biomechanics, imaging, computational biology, synthetic biology, and regenerative medicine with over 35 tenure system and specialized faculty and over 20 staff, The department also has strong partnerships with the Carle Illinois College of Medicine (the world’s first engineering-based college of medicine), the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, the Carl R. Woese Institute of Genomic Biology, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, ,the Cancer Center at Illinois, and other campus units to provide an intellectually vibrant environment where world-class scholars can thrive, innovate, and shape the future of healthcare and technology.
Department of Bioengineering - Postdoctoral Research Associate in Rehabilitation
(Clinical Research Focused)
The Yang laboratories within the Department of Bioengineering and Carle Foundation Hospital are focused on investigating neural mechanisms underlying movement impairments post-stroke and developing targeted therapeutical interventions to facilitate motor recovery. This interdisciplinary research integrates neural engineering approaches and human subject experiments, based on multi-modal brain imaging, non-invasive brain stimulation, electrophysiology signals, robotic devices, and data sciences.
Postdoctoral Research Associate Position in Bioimage Informatics
We are excited to announce an opening for a postdoctoral research associate to work in large-scale bioimage informatics and computational imaging at the Department of Bioengineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Our laboratory is located at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, a leading institution for biomedical imaging. We are looking for a highly motivated individual to join our multidisciplinary team to advance precision medicine through cutting-edge multiscale optical microscopy, artificial intelligence (AI), and large-scale bioimage informatics.
Postdoctoral Research Associates in Large‑Scale Image Informatics for Cancer Imaging
The Biomedical Optical Imaging Laboratory at the University of Illinois Urbana‑Champaign invites applications for a postdoctoral associate to spearhead research at the interface of quantitative phase imaging (QPI), artificial intelligence, and cancer biology. Our group integrates high-throughput super‑resolution microscopy, highly multiplexed fluorescence imaging, and mesoscale QPI to reveal previously inaccessible cellular and molecular dynamics in tumors. We seek a motivated colleague who shares our vision of translating advanced optical imaging into transformative insights that improve cancer diagnosis and treatment.
