Dear all,

Following the ad for Chair-level positions in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College which I distributed recently, we are also intending to make quite a few hires at a level equivalent to Assistant/Associate Professor over the coming year. I am particularly keen to attract outstanding candidates in the general area of Neurotechnology/Neural Engineering/Computational Neuroscience.

Lecturers/Senior Lecturers/Readers (open call)

Imperial College London - Department of Bioengineering

Lecturer salary range £43,350 to £48,400 per annum

Senior Lecturer/Reader minimum £53,450 per annum

Due to rapid growth and the strategic importance of the discipline of bioengineering at Imperial College, the Department of Bioengineering wishes to appoint a number of individuals at Lecturer, Senior Lecturer or Reader grade. This is an open call in which we are looking for outstanding candidates in any field of Bioengineering. As the department is making multiple appointments for strategic reasons, applications from individuals working in one of the areas listed below are particularly welcomed:

Bioengineering of cancer detection, diagnosis, pathogenesis and/or treatment
Mechanobiology/biomechanics
Molecular imaging
Neurotechnology

The appointees will be expected to interact effectively with one or more research teams in the Department of Bioengineering (see http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/bioengineering/research.) They will also be expected to interact with groups outside the department across Imperial College and advance the reputation of the department through their work and that of their research staff and students.

Applicants should have an advanced degree (PhD or equivalent) in an appropriate science or engineering discipline. They should also possess a demonstrable ability to generate and execute independent collaborative research programmes at an internationally-leading level and to attract high levels of research funding. Experience in teaching at all levels is also required.

For an informal discussion please contact the incoming Head of Department, Professor Anthony Bull: emaila.bull@imperial.ac.uk or telephone 020 7594 5186.
