The Institute for Biological and Medical Engineering of the Schools of Engineering, Medicine and Biological Sciences of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile invite applications for two full-time faculty positions.
We will consider exceptional candidates with demonstrated academic experience in any of the research and teaching areas of the Institute (see iibm.uc.cl).
Duties: The duties associated with the position include creating a strong independent research program, teaching (at undergraduate and graduate levels), outreach and carrying out administrative tasks. The candidates applying to these positions should conduct high impact research in any of the areas of the Institute:
• Biomedical Imaging: Image Acquisition, Reconstruction, Processing and Modelling.
• Cellular and Molecular Engineering: Protein Engineering, Synthetic Biology, Systems Biology, Computational Biology, Computational Biophysics, Biofilms, Biocatalysis, Biotechnology
• Tissue Engineering: Regenerative Medicine, Tissue Regeneration, Biomaterials.
•Biomechanics and Quantitative Physiology: Mathematical Physiology, Physiological Monitoring, Computational Biomechanics, Cell Mechanics, Mechanobiology, Medical Devices, Medical Instrumentation, Computational Medicine.
Priority will be given to candidates who work in areas complementary to the ones already covered by our faculty members.
Requirements
Ph.D. in Engineering, Biological Sciences, Medicine or a related discipline. Applicants should be proactive on pursuing independent research lines, able to work collaboratively, and show evidence of interdisciplinary collaboration. Preference will be given to candidates with potential to synergistically collaborate with the existing faculty members in one of the research areas of the Institute mentioned above.
