About The Role

For informal queries, please reach out to Professor Mike Chappell (Research Cluster Leader for Biomedical & Biotechnology) at m.j.chappell@warwick.ac.uk.

We invite applications for an Assistant or Associate Professor position in the field of Biomedical Engineering. We particularly welcome candidates with expertise in Healthcare Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, or Signal Processing. The post is on the Research and Teaching Pathway.

The successful applicant is expected to pursue research that makes fundamental contributions to their field, while also addressing real-world challenges with practical relevance – potentially working across disciplines. Applicants should demonstrate how their work complements existing strengths within the School, or brings new and strategically aligned research directions.

Consideration will also be given to alignment with the University’s Research Technology Platforms and established research infrastructure. We are especially interested in candidates whose work can leverage or contribute to the School’s collaborative, translational, and industrially engaged research environment.

Candidates will be expected to teach to the highest quality on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by the School of Engineering.

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.

About You

You will have a PhD in a relevant discipline.

For an Assistant Professor appointment, you must be able to demonstrate the capability to establish an independent research activity, which has the ambition and potential to become internationally leading. If appointed as an Assistant Professor, you will be appointed for a probationary period (usually five years) during which you will be given a reduced teaching and administration load to enable you to establish your research group. Successful completion of probation will coincide with promotion to a permanent Associate Professor position.

For an Associate Professor appointment, you will have already established a high-quality independent research activity and have been awarded substantial research funding from external sources, while having experience in successful delivery of teaching activities.

At either level, you will initiate, develop and deliver high quality research, publish top-tier journal papers and demonstrate the potential for impact from your research. You will also engage with higher education pedagogy and be willing to develop novel teaching methods, embracing changes in teaching technology and expectations.

The level of appointment - Assistant Professor or Associate Professor - will be determined by the panel based upon the successful candidate’s demonstrated skills and experience.

For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the attached job description.

About The Department

The School of Engineering is a multidisciplinary department that aspires to conduct research to internationally leading standards. The School is in the process of forming Research Clusters, which will be launched in Summer 2025. This post aligns to the Biomedical & Biotechnology Cluster which will include activities under the Biomedical Engineering Institute (https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/eng/bmei/). The Cluster will comprise at least 12 academic staff. Existing staff pursue research related to Biomedical Engineering, Biomedical and Biological Systems Modelling and Control, Engineering Biology, and Data Analytics. Examples of current strengths include Biomedical Systems Modelling and Data Analysis, Bio-sensor applications, and Biomedical Imaging. We are open to broadening the activities of the Research Cluster and are open to making appointments that are cross traditional discipline boundaries.

Warwick operates Research Technology Platforms (RTPs) which enable access to high-end facilities at cross-department level (https://warwick.ac.uk/research/rtp/). Academics in Engineering use these on a regular basis with the Scientific Computing and various characterisation-related RTPs (Electron Microscopy, Spectroscopy, X-Ray Computed Tomography, X-Ray Diffraction, X-Ray Photoemission Spectroscopy, Warwick Centre for Ultrafast Spectroscopy) frequently used. Applicants may wish to give consideration as to how their research links to such facilities.

The School of Engineering leads various undergraduate and taught Masters courses and has > 1,500 students on taught courses with an annual Year 1 undergraduate intake of c. 350 students. Students on our undergraduate programmes follow a common programme of study in Year 1. After this, most students choose to join specialised courses. Applicants should specify how they can contribute to teaching in their application, giving consideration to both our undergraduate and taught postgraduate programmes.
