Lectureship (tenure-track Assistant Professor) at the Cambridge University - Engineering Department in Biomechanics and Mechanobiology

Applications are invited for a University Lectureship (equivalent to a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the US system) in Biomechanics and Mechanobiology. The successful candidate will join the Mechanics, Materials and Design Division to add to its expertise in Bioengineering. Applicants should have earned a Ph.D. in Engineering or a related discipline and ideally with post-doctoral experience. The candidate will perform multidisciplinary research that bridges life sciences and engineering with focus on the structure, function and mechanical aspects of biological systems and associated devices. 

The Lectureship will be within the Biomechanics Research group in the Materials, Mechanics and Design Division in the Engineering Department, but will include wider collaboration across the University including the School of Medicine and Biological Sciences. The successful applicant will be expected to develop a strong externally funded, globally recognized research program and to participate in the teaching mission of the Mechanics, Materials and Design Division as well as the wider Engineering Department.
