  • 3 Postdoc Fellowships at Universiti Malaya, Malaysia

    **Please reply to email addresses listed below, not to sender**

    Three postdoctoral fellowships are offered in the Department of
    Biomedical Engineering, Universiti Malaya. The areas of research are:
    Tissue Engineering and Bioreactor Development (1), Medical Imaging (1)
    and Bioelectromagnetics (1).


    Universiti Malaya, centrally located within Kuala Lumpur, is the longest
    established University in Malaysia. Nestled within the 750-acre campus,
    the Department of Biomedical Engineering undertakes extensive research
    activities and is the host of the bi-annual Kuala Lumpur Conference on
    Biomedical Engineering. Applications are encouraged from all countries
    and all nationalities. The successful applicant is assured a memorable
    experience both working at Universiti Malaya and living within Malaysia.


    POSITION:

    Post-doctoral fellowship in Tissue Engineering and Bioreactor
    Development


    JOB DESCRIPTION:

    As part of our expansion into Tissue Engineering at the Centre of
    Emerging Biomedical Engineering Technology (CoEBET) we are commencing a
    program of research and development into the production of a bioreactor
    for tissue engineering. The development will be a vehicle for extensive
    research into cartilage tissue engineering and offers the opportunity
    for the right candidate to take a key role in the development and
    direction of this exciting research programme.


    The right candidate will have some knowledge of cell culture and/or
    tissue engineering as well as having an understanding of mechanical
    systems. The aims of this two-year postdoctoral fellowship are to
    complete the development of a functional bioreactor system and to
    undertake a full range of testing upon different cell types. For this
    reason applications are encouraged from both biomedical engineering and
    traditional cell or tissue biologists.


    QUALIFICATIONS:

    * PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Tissue Engineering, Cell Biology
    or related field.

    * Experience of cell culture and/or tissue engineering.

    * Ability to work independently and take a full part in planning.

    * Dedication to research and a thirst for solving problems.

    POSITION:

    Post-doctoral fellowship in Medical Imaging


    JOB DESCRIPTION:

    One of our active research fields at the Centre of Emerging Biomedical
    Engineering Technology (CoEBET) is in the area of Microwave Imaging. We
    are developing a complete system to detect malignant tissues using this
    low cost (as opposed to ultrasound and MRI) and painless, non-ionizing
    (as opposed to X-ray mammography) imaging technique.To help us
    materialize this project, we are seeking for a highly motivated and
    driven individual to join our research team. The main responsibilities
    include the assembly of a complete microwave imaging system and the
    development ofa measurement protocol for characterizing the dielectric
    properties of malignant and benign human tissues at microwave
    frequencies.


    QUALIFICATIONS:

    * PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Microwave Engineering or related
    disciplines.
    * Knowledge in dielectric properties of human tissues.
    * Experienced user of Matlab.
    * Ability to work independently.
    * Excellent communication skills, both written and oral.

    POSITION:

    Post-doctoral fellowship in Bioelectromagnetics


    JOB DESCRIPTION:

    Laboratory studies have shown that electromagnetic fields (EMF) affect
    cells in various ways. However, whether these effects are important in
    terms of human health is still not clear. Much work needs to be
    conducted before any conclusions can be reached about the relative
    safety or harm of electromagnetic fields. It is one of our research
    interests at the Centre of Emerging Biomedical Engineering Technology
    (CoEBET) to study the effects of EMF on biological cells. We are seeking
    for a highly motivated and driven individual to conduct a research in
    this area. The main responsibilities are to develop a measurement
    protocol to study the effects of EMF on biological cells, to investigate
    the changes in cell morphology and dynamics when exposed to EMF and
    finally to perform a statistical analysis on the results.


    QUALIFICATIONS:

    * PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related
    disciplines.

    * Knowledge and interest in Bioelectromagnetics.

    * Ability to work independently.

    * Excellent communication skills, both written and oral.
