d Wearable Systems for Closed-Loop Precision Health 497060 Full-Time Electrical Engineering Department: Electrical and Computer Engineering Salary: Commensurate with Experience Description: The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Houston (UH) invites applications for a tenure-track/tenure-eligible faculty position in AI-Enabled Implantable and Wearable Systems for Closed-Loop Precision Health at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank. The successful candidate will be appointed at the Assistant Professor (tenure-track) or Associate Professor (tenure-eligible) rank, based on experience and qualifications. The tenure home will be in ECE, with opportunities for collaborative appointments and research partnerships with the Department of Health and Human Performance in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, the Department of Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences in the College of Pharmacy, and the Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine.

This position seeks an emerging research leader working at the intersection of implantable and wearable medical devices, bioelectronics, biomedical sensing, artificial intelligence, digital health, and precision therapeutics. Of particular interest are candidates developing systems that enable continuous acquisition of physiological, biochemical, biomechanical, or optical data and integrate these measurements with AI-guided analysis, therapeutic intervention, and assessment of biological response. A central research opportunity is the development of closed-loop precision health systems that integrate data acquisition, AI analysis, treatment decision, biological response assessment, and treatment optimization. The successful candidate is expected to develop innovative implantable and wearable bioelectronic platforms and collaborate with investigators in human health, pharmacology, and medicine to connect continuous sensing data with therapeutic interventions, molecular biomarkers, pharmacological response, and treatment-induced gene-expression changes.

The successful candidate will be expected to establish an internationally recognized, externally funded research program; develop interdisciplinary collaborations across UH; pursue large multi-investigator and center-scale research opportunities; teach undergraduate and graduate courses; mentor graduate and undergraduate students; and contribute to the educational and research missions of the department and university.
