Summary
This full time post is available from 1 September 2025 on a permanent basis.
The post of Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering will contribute to extending the research profile of Engineering at Exeter, particularly in areas related or complementary to mechanobiology, and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The University welcomes applications which build on Exeter’s internationally recognised research strengths in this area and face our research and teaching needs within the department.
The position of Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering will be based in the Biomedical Engineering Group led by Prof Tim Holsgrove. The group is part of the Engineering department, led by Professor Ion Sucala (www.exeter.ac.uk/engineering). Engineering currently has over 100 academic staff across our Exeter (Streatham) and Cornwall (Penryn) campuses. Academics in the Biomedical Engineering Group have particular expertise in using multi-disciplinary approaches to investigate injury and degeneration of the musculoskeletal system, and the development of novel methods to evaluate new treatments and interventions.
The department of Engineering has recently embarked on an ambitious strategy – Exeter Engineering 2030. Our vision is to harness the power of engineering and innovation to create a sustainable and healthier future. The strategy is underpinned by significant investment in staff and facilities, and it aims to build on our existing strengths and continue to develop emerging areas, contributing to the University’s Strategy 2030.
