  • Lecturer/Senior Lecturer Medical Devices and Technologies

    Applications are invited for the position of Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in
    Medical Devices, Robotics or Technologies in the Department of Mechanical
    Engineering. You will be research-focussed and be required to undertake high
    quality research, researcher supervision and teaching, especially in the general
    area of medical devices, robotics or related technologies, clinical research or
    healthcare engineering. You will contribute to our taught programmes, including
    the Master of Engineering Studies in Medical Devices and Technologies.

    The University of Auckland is New Zealand's pre-eminent research-led
    University. The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the largest
    departments in the Faculty of Engineering, with approximately 30 academic staff,
    600 undergraduates and 120 postgraduate students. We provide BE (Hons) degree
    programmes in Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering, together with
    a range of postgraduate taught courses.

    We offer a diverse and active community for research at and above
    postgraduate level, and we are proud of our strong international reputation for
    the quality of our research outputs. Our research activities broadly concern
    mechatronics, dynamics, control, mechanics of materials and composites,
    thermofluids and manufacturing systems. We have collaborative links with
    research groups and industry within New Zealand and across the world.

    The successful applicant will work as part of the Mechatronics Group of the
    Department and will be required to develop inter-disciplinary research
    collaborations with academics, healthcare providers, hospitals and/or medical
    device companies and attract research funding, nationally and/or
    internationally. Current research interests of the Group include:
    biomechatronics, medical devices, rehabilitation robots, robotics, smart sensors
    and actuators, MEMS, digital and intelligent control, and industrial
    automation.

    You will be committed to the development and delivery of curricula and
    courses in the general area of Mechatronics. In particular, you will contribute
    to our programme “Master of Engineering Studies in Medical Devices and
    Technologies”, which has been offered since 2010. You must have excellent
    communication skills. You will also contribute to the wider activities of the
    Mechatronics Group and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and perform
    service roles for the Department.

    You will have a strong background in engineering, and experience of its
    application in the general area of medical technologies. Research experience in
    a clinical setting will be a distinct advantage. You must have a PhD or
