Tier II Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Biomechanics
The Faculty of Engineering at McMaster University recently selected
Bioengineering as an important growth area with respect to interdisciplinary
research and educational programs and has established the McMaster School of
Bioengineering. The school provides excellent opportunities to develop
multidisciplinary undergraduate, graduate and research programs involving
strong collaborations between the Faculties of Engineering and Health
Sciences.
In support to this initiative, the Department of Mechanical Engineering is
seeking an outstanding individual for a Tier II Canada Research Chair (CRC)
in biomechanics.
This tenure-track appointment will be at the level of Assistant or Associate
professor and will commence July 1, 2010. Applicants will hold a doctorate
in Biomechanics, Biomedical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering, and be
registered, or eligible for registration, as a Professional Engineer in
Ontario. Postdoctoral training and/or industrial experience are preferred.
Although all areas of biomechanics will be considered, primary consideration
will be given to applicants with research interest in orthopaedic
biomechanics and tissue engineering. Canada Research Chairs are subject to
review and approval by the CRC Secretariat.
Further details on the CRC Program can be viewed at:
http://www.chairs.gc.ca.
Applicants must demonstrate a successful record of research, reflected in
extramural grant acquisition and publication in high quality peer-reviewed
journals. The recruited individual will teach both undergraduate and
graduate level courses, develop graduate level biomechanics courses, and
support departmental growth in this area. He/she will also be expected to
establish a strong externally funded research program, supervise graduate
student research, and foster the already existing collaborations with other
departments including the Faculty of Health Sciences.
Send an application letter, resume, statements on research and teaching
interests, and the names and addresses of at least three references to:
Professor S. Habibi, Chair
Department of Mechanical Engineering, JHE Rm. 316
McMaster University
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
L8S 4L7
Applications will be accepted until the position has been filled.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens
and permanent residents will be given priority. McMaster is strongly
committed to employment equity within its community, and to recruiting a
diverse faculty and staff. The University encourages applications from all
qualified candidates, including women, members of visible minorities,
Aboriginal persons, members of sexual minorities, and persons with
disabilities.
