The Department of Mechanical & Biomedical Engineering wishes to recruit an
outstanding individual for the above full-time permanent post. Since its
establishment at NUI, Galway, in 1998, the Biomedical Engineering programme
has experienced rapid expansion with respect to undergraduate student
numbers, postgraduate research students, research funding, and industry
interaction. The undergraduate programme in Biomedical Engineering is
interdisciplinary in scope with students taking courses in the Faculties of
Engineering, Science and Medical and Health Sciences .
The Department is also affiliated with the National Centre for Biomedical
Engineering Science (NCBES), which is located on the NUI, Galway campus.
This centre was established in 2000 and moved in September, 2003, to its new
€20 million purpose built building which houses state of the art equipment
and 35 research personnel from the Department of Mechanical and Biomedical
Engineering.
The appointee will be required to:
· Assume a role in both the teaching and research aspects of
Biomedical Engineering.
· Contribute to the teaching of existing courses , develop new
courses and supervise undergraduate student projects.
· Work with interdisciplinary research groups spanning science,
engineering, medicine and industry.
· Provide expertise in one or more areas of interest to the
Department such as experimental tissue or cellular biomechanics, medical
device design, quantitative analysis of biological systems and advanced
biomaterials.
The successful applicant will:
· Hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering or in a related discipline.
· Have significant publication record or equivalent industrial
experience in Biomedical Engineering.
· Have demonstrated an ability to attract substantial research
funding.
· Possess interpersonal skills commensurate with the need to
