ABOUT YOU

With a PhD and an established international reputation as a scholar, you will be able to demonstrate research and teaching achievement in your field of expertise. You will be able to evidence this through external grant capture, publications in peer reviewed journals and other relevant outputs, with a clear forward plan for your research that complements the existing specialisms within the school.
With a track record of training and mentoring research students and experience of building effective collaborative relationships, you will have a commitment to high quality teaching, ensuring our students get the best experience possible.

In joining the School of Engineering, the successful candidate will draw on extensive academic excellence to underpin and carry out research and teaching activities in the field of biomedical and mechanical engineering, while developing contributions to and achievements in impact, knowledge exchange, leadership and citizenship.
The School of Engineering is a welcoming and inclusive team undertaking interdisciplinary research with academic, clinical, industrial, and community stakeholders, which is driven by our significant strengths in aerospace engineering, biomedical engineering, digital manufacturing and management, and mechanics of materials. Thus we contribute knowledge and innovation that fosters well-being, sustainability and carbon net zero, via our engineering solutions.
The role-holder will join the Biomedical Engineering Group but will also be expected to collaborate with engineering colleagues in other relevant research groups such as Mechanics of Materials (MoM) Group. This post is intended to strengthen and add to research critical mass in areas relevant to biomedical engineering.
The role-holder will contribute to teaching across our engineering programmes as well as make fundamental contribution to our efforts in developing our thought portfolio in biomedical engineering.
