Application deadline: 11/Dec/2016 

The School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at Heriot-Watt University, UK, invites applications for a faculty appointment in the field of biomedical engineering.  The Biomedical Engineering theme focuses on highly interdisciplinary and cutting-edge research at the interface between mechanical engineering, material science and bioengineering. We bring together our expertise in micromechanics, tissue engineering, laser tissue interaction, novel optical fibres, computational mechanics, micro/nano manufacturing, thermo-fluid mechanics, and digital design and manufacture to address the challenges in biomedical engineering including cancer diagnostics and therapy, minimally invasive procedures, tissue mechanics, patient-specific modelling, tissue engineering and characterisation.  Applications are welcome from individuals whose core disciplines are in the areas of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering or are in other relevant engineering domains or applied sciences and can complement our existing strengths.

Candidates will be expected to have a strong track record of research in one or more of the following areas:

• microfabrication or testing with relevance to biological systems;
• biological process engineering, including process control using mechanical, electrochemical or biochemical sensors and actuators;
• design/fabrication of hybrid biological/physical structures and devices.
