Job Description:
Group 48—Bioengineering Systems and Technologies The Bioengineering Systems and Technologies Group seeks to improve the performance of human-centered missions through preventing injury and disease, improving sensing and identification of people and their environment, and speeding rehabilitation and recovery. This goal is accomplished through four broad technical areas: biomedical research, synthetic biology, bioinformatics and biometrics, and forensics. Biomedical research includes advanced sensing, algorithms, modeling, prototyping, and field testing of technologies to diagnose disease, predict outcomes, avoid injuries, and monitor and enhance human performance. The synthetic biology research area emphasizes the development of tools and techniques that will greatly speed the design, evaluation, and assessment of genome-wide engineering approaches through highly integrated microfluidic devices. Bioinformatics is applied across the group to uncover signatures in high-throughput genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data sets. Biometrics and forensics research is developing technologies and systems for human identification, including rapid DNA analysis, standoff biometric sensing, scientific validation of forensic techniques, and integrated architecture analyses. This highly interdisciplinary group draws on skills from biology, biochemistry, biosignal processing, engineering, computer science, physics, and medical research areas. Primary government sponsors are in the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Justice, as well as the National Institutes of Health.
Job Description:
A proven medical researcher is needed to lead a growing concentration of medical research and development in support of military and civilian operational medicine, trauma care, rehabilitation, and human performance. In particular, advanced sensing, algorithms, modeling, prototyping and field-testing methods are being developed to diagnose disease, predict outcomes, avoid injuries, and monitor and enhance human performance. Potential example applications include anticipatory medical monitoring, physiological status monitoring, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, musculoskeletal injury from excessive loads, bioinformatics, medical data mining, and tomography. Candidates should be familiar with the state of the art in these fields, have a track record of experience with clinical trials, and a solid understanding of relevant Government programs and strategies. Candidates must be able to interface well with MIT Lincoln Lab scientists from a variety of disciplines (e.g. Biology, Chemistry, Biomedical Science, Materials Science, Physics, Computer Science, Math, Engineering) and lead those scientists in the skilled execution of Government-funded projects.
Requirements:
An M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in a health care field is required. Clinical experience and excellent communication and presentation skills are required. Experience leading a multi-disciplinary team and 5-10 years of experience in medical research is highly desired. Demonstrated success in creating and communicating a vision for technical progress in a related field is desired. In addition, candidates must be skilled at interacting with external Government agencies and in developing and communicating strategies to increase MIT Lincoln Lab’s impact to the nation.
MIT Lincoln Laboratory is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment and will not be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran status, disability status, or genetic information; U.S. citizenship is required.
