About the Role
We invite applications for an Assistant or Associate Professor position in the field of Biomedical Engineering. We particularly welcome candidates with expertise in Biomechanics, and/or Medical Device Design, Design of Prosthetics and Orthotics. The post is on the Research and Teaching Pathway.
Responsibilities
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 and with a broad range of funders including industry. 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. Candidates will be expected to teach to the highest quality on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by the School of Engineering.
Qualifications
You will have a PhD in a relevant discipline. For an Assistant Professor appointment, you must 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.
Diversity
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and communities, particularly those currently underrepresented in the Engineering sector. The University promotes work‑life balance for all employees and the School of Engineering will consider a range of flexible working arrangements in order to recruit the best candidate.
Department
The School of Engineering is a multidisciplinary department that aspires to conduct research to internationally leading standards. The School has recently established Research Clusters, launched in the Summer of 2025. This post aligns to the Biomedical & Biotechnology Cluster which includes activities that also align with the Biomedical Engineering Institute (https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/eng/bmei/). The Cluster comprises at least twelve 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. Warwick operates Research Technology Platforms (RTPs) which enable access to high‑end facilities at cross‑department level. Applicants may wish to consider how their research links to such facilities. The School of Engineering leads various undergraduate and taught Masters courses and has > 1,600 students on taught courses with an annual Year 1 undergraduate intake of c. 480 students. Applicants should specify how they can contribute to teaching in their application, giving consideration to both our undergraduate and taught postgraduate programmes.
