BME is located centrally within the Pigman College of Engineering and within walking distance of the Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Dentistry, Health Sciences, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, Design, Business, etc.

The University is in Lexington, a city of 300,000 residents in the heart of the rolling hills and horse farms of the Bluegrass region of central Kentucky, an area consistently rated among the best places to relocate and raise a family.

The cost of living is low compared with most major metropolitan regions in the U.S. Recreational opportunities (e.g., hiking, cycling, horseback-riding, fishing, hunting, and boating) are enjoyed by many residents. The local arts community focuses on Appalachian music, country dance, and crafts. Cincinnati and Louisville are each a 90-minute drive away.


Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research plan (upload under Specific Request 1), teaching statements (upload under Specific Request 2), and contact information of at least three references when prompted in the academic profile.
