Our department 

Biomedical Engineering (BME) is one of the oldest homes of biomedical education and research in the World – rated 2nd in the UK for Medical Technology in the Complete University Guide Subject Tables 2020 – with a leading track record of industrial impact and clinical translation that benefits society.  We are committed to producing high quality research output, training and knowledge transfer and much of our work is clinically driven and conducted in collaboration with clinical or industrial partners.  We aim to deliver an outstanding student experience and provide skills to create technical solutions for real-world clinical challenges.   

Our research spans the areas of medical devices and diagnostics; rehabilitation engineering; and cell, tissue and organ engineering.  We are keen to hear from early career researchers with experience in the following area:  

• Tissue/organoid engineering 
• Rehabilitation engineering 

The opportunity 

We would love to hear from you if you have a PhD and postdoctoral research experience; an emerging publication history in high quality academic journals; and research interests which align with this area of strategic priority – particularly if you already hold an external fellowship that can be transferred to us.  

In keeping with our commitment to equality and diversity, we encourage applications from all sections of the community, particularly those who can support our Athena SWAN activity, which inspires the advancement and representation of women in higher education.  For more information on diversity and inclusion at Strathclyde, please see here.  

• Growth of your research portfolio  
• Reduced teaching load and limited administrative duties over the initial years of your Fellowship 
• Support through our academic career development framework to meet your training needs and enhance your effectiveness – allowing you to be ready for promotion within 5-years of your appointment 
• Mentoring, to help you establish a balance of research, teaching, knowledge exchange and citizenship responsibilities while enhancing your leadership qualities to support your long-term career. 

* Your Fellowship will normally be at lecturer level (exceptionally, at senior lecturer (Grade 9) (£52,560 - £59,135) where you have a strong track record in research leadership) for 5 years, with the expectation that you’ll meet our promotion criteria within that period and be transferred to senior lecturer (or, where you’ve been appointed as a senior lecturer, Reader) level.
