Centre for Biomedical Engineering, School of Engineering, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, UK
The School of Engineering invites applications for a Chair in Biomedical Engineering. This challenging professorial appointment is central to the ambition of the University and the School to build on its existing strong reputation for biomedical engineering. Currently, the major elements of this discipline within the School are based in the Centre for Biomedical Engineering. This Centre has its roots in the 1960s, when it was one of the first to offer higher education in this area in the UK.
The present research of the Centre is divided into six main areas:
Human Movement
Functional Electrical Stimulation
Neural Interfaces
Laboratories on a Chip
Osseointegration
Blood Flow and Vascular Grafts
The research areas are complemented by a very well established postgraduate
(MSc) taught programme in Biomedical Engineering and a more recent undergraduate (MEng/BEng) programme in Medical Engineering. The MSc programme is fully accredited by the UK Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) for its National Health Service (NHS) professional training scheme. The undergraduate programme is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Short courses in aspects of biomedical engineering are also currently being reviewed.
Further information on the Centre for Biomedical Engineering can be found at www.bmesurrey.org.
The appointee will be expected to continue the successful development of the work in the Centre for Biomedical Engineering, while at the same time fostering and leading new developments to ensure that the biomedical engineering activity throughout the School is at the forefront in its field.
The appointee will have a strong track record in research, with supporting clinical and industrial links, in line with the University’s strategy for advanced research and teaching in healthcare.
