New York University: NYU - NY: Tandon School of Engineering: Biomedical Engineering
Brooklyn, NY
Aug 11, 2025
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering invites applications for part-time, non-tenured instructors of BE-GY 6473 Applied Math and Statistics for Biomedical Engineering course in Fall 2025 semester, with a start date of September 2, 2025, and an end date of December 21, 2025.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the NYU Tandon manages the graduate level course BE-GY 6473 Applied Math and Statistics for Biomedical Engineering, which provides a foundation for understanding and applying statistical methods to analyze biological and medical data. Topics covered include data visualization, descriptive statistics, random behavior modeling, normal distribution, statistical inference, analysis of variance, regression analysis, correlation analysis, non-parametric statistics, and survival analysis. The course includes hands-on computer lab sections for practical application of these techniques to real biological and medical datasets. By the end of this course, students should be able to understand and apply various statistical methods for data summarization and visualization in biological and medical contexts, choose appropriate statistical techniques for estimation, hypothesis testing, regression, and analysis of variance, select the correct statistical method based on data type and study design, and utilize statistical software tools to analyze, describe, and display data effectively. A typical teaching load is 37.5 hours for the whole semester, which includes 14 lectures + computer labs (2.5 hours for each week’s lecture and lab session. More exactly, the lecture and lab date / time is every Tuesday, 6 pm – 8:30 pm), and 1 final exam section (2.5 hours).
We presently seek an adjunct instructor who is eager to provide a solid foundation for our BME graduate students upon understanding and applying statistical methods to analyze biological and medical data in this BE-GY 6473 Applied Math and Statistics for Biomedical Engineering course. The adjunct instructor’s primary responsibility will be teaching. The responsibility is fulfilled by:
Delivering the lecture and supervising the lab session every week
Evaluating individual assignments and group-based lab reports, and send back feedbacks to students in time (typically within a week period)
Grading quizzes and exam(s) in time (typically within a week period)
Constructing a course project and arranging the key steps well for students to follow up and complete the project
Answering students’ questions relevant to course content, assignments, labs, and course project in time
We invite applicants with expertise in relevant engineering or science fields. Applicants should ideally fulfill the following qualified requirements:
Ph.D. in engineering, STEM, or related fields
A documented record of university teaching in graduate level engineering statistics courses.
Prior experience in course instruction, student supervision or tutoring on graduate level engineering statistics courses with excellent student evaluation ratings.
Proficiency in engineering statistical key concepts, principles, and methods, such as data visualization, descriptive statistics, random behavior modeling, normal distribution, statistical inference, analysis of variance, regression analysis, correlation analysis, non-parametric statistics, and survival analysis
Profound knowledge and experience in the application of engineering statistics towards biomedical engineering fields.

About Us
New York University (NYU) is one of the top private universities in the United States with an unparalleled network of global campuses and academic centers. NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering, located in the heart of Brooklyn, dates back to 1854, the founding year of both the New York University School of Civil Engineering and Architecture and the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute. Backed by an historic commitment of $1 billion and under the new leadership of Juan de Pablo as the University’s Executive Vice President for Global Science and Technology and Tandon’s Executive Dean, the Engineering School is entering an exciting new phase to recruit world-class faculty conducting groundbreaking basic and applied research in key areas. We are home to a community of renowned faculty and undergraduate and graduate students united in a mission to understand and create technology that powers cities, enables worldwide communication, fights climate change, and builds healthier, safer, and more equitable real and digital worlds. The school’s culture centers on encouraging rigorous, interdisciplinary collaboration and research; fostering inclusivity, entrepreneurial thinking, and diverse perspectives; and creating innovative and accessible pathways for lifelong learning in STEM.
NYU Tandon is committed to substantially increase the proportion of our faculty from historically underrepresented groups in STEM and we encourage candidates from such groups to apply. We aspire to create a climate where diversity and inclusion are not only appreciated but considered an asset for creativity and innovation, and we seek faculty who have a real passion for a culturally diverse environment. We take pride in our high numbers of female students and students who are the first in their family to go to college. NYU belongs to the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC), which assists with dual-career searches, and our faculty are supported by a range of work-life balance programs provided by the NYU Office of Work Life.
