Dear all,
There are two Chair (full
professor) positions open in the Department of Bioengineering at
Imperial College London. One of the Chairs might be appointed as Head of
Department. Highlighted areas include Neurotechnology, which I take to
include computational neuroscience.

Post 1: Head of the Department of Bioengineering and Director of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering
Post 2: Chair in Bioengineering
We
are seeking to appoint an outstanding leader to act as Head of our
rapidly growing Department of Bioengineering and as Director of the
associated cross-faculty Institute of Biomedical Engineering. The
appointee will hold a Chair in the Department and will provide the
academic leadership, management skills, vision and drive to develop

research programmes that will advance the reputation of the Department
and College in relevant areas. Currently these areas include:
Biomechanics; Biomedical devices, sensors and circuits; Biomedical
imaging and medical information systems; Cellular, molecular and
synthetic biology; Implants and regenerative medicine; and
Neurotechnology. The Department is also keen to enter the area of cancer
bioengineering. Applicants should demonstrate: an
internationally-recognised research portfolio that incorporates modern
developments in bioengineering and addresses problems of importance in
the understanding of biological phenomena and/or the treatment of
clinically significant pathologies; a commitment to excellence in
education, with experience in teaching at all levels;
and qualities and skills that will foster collaboration locally,
nationally and internationally. Candidates will also have a sustained
track record in attracting high levels of research funding. Candidates

2008 Research Assessment Exercise, 75% of its output was judged either
world leading or internationally excellent, confirming its pre-eminent
position. It currently teaches approximately 500 undergraduate, MSc and
PhD students. The Institute hosts the Centre for Synthetic Biology and
Innovation and the Centre for Bio-Inspired Technology; its 7 Technology
Networks draw together scientists, clinicians and engineers from across
the College to create progress in medical diagnosis and treatment
through multidisciplinary collaboration. The Department and Institute
can be explored at
Candidates
