5 Fulltime Tenure-Track positions: BME, TU/e : Five fulltime Tenure-Track positions at the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) of the TU/e is expanding with a focus on translational BME research.

Position: Assistant Professor, Associate Professor

Departments: Department of Biomedical Engineering

Deadline: 30/09/2017

Reference number: V50.2984

Overview

The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) of the TU/e is expanding with a focus on translational BME research and is therefore looking for multiple, ambitious scientists. In this position you will focus on developing and applying computational techniques to analyze and interpreted this data in the (bio) medical context. The preferred research background should be in the combination of computational methods and biomedical engineering.

1. Fields: “Health & Data”

More Information: prof.dr. P.A.J. Hilbers, phone: +31 40 2475537 and/or email: P.A.J.Hilbers@tue.nl 

1. “Organoid Mechanobiology”

Research in cardiovascular regenerative medicine is becoming more inspired by mechanically driven tissue and organ morphogenesis. In this position, you will focus on the mechanical factors that drive tissue and organ development, with special emphasis on in-vitro organogenesis. The ideal candidate should have a background in biomedical or mechanical engineering with a strong track record in cardiovascular regeneration.

1. “Chemical Biology”

In this position we are looking for a chemical biologist who addresses contemporary biomedical challenges via innovative molecular approaches. The existing chemical biology faculty has a broad background including organic chemistry and drug discovery, protein engineering and molecular sensors, polymer chemistry and drug delivery, bionanotechnology and structural biology. Similarly we are considering excellent candidates from diverse background both in terms of scientific approach and questions.

1. “Molecular Biosensing”

In this position you are expected to push the frontiers of biosensing with a bottom-up biophysical approach. The preferred research background should be in (a) the design of molecules and molecular structures and (b) studies of their functional properties with single-molecule resolution. The focus of this position is to develop novel concepts for recognition and transduction for real-time monitoring of molecules and molecular processes in complex macromolecular environments.

1. “Computational Cardiovascular Biomechanics”

Clinical decision support for cardiovascular diseases increasingly relies on patient specific computational models that predict outcome of clinical intervention. To advance our current research, this position will focus on the development, verification, clinical implementation, and final validation of these models in cooperation with our clinical partners. Candidates with experience in hemodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, fluid structure interaction, patient specific modelling, image based modelling, uncertainty quantification, are kindly invited to apply.
