As a member of Institut Mines-Télécom, Mines Saint-Étienne carries out missions of education, training, research, innovation, industrial transfer, and scientific culture. With 2,500 students, 500 staff members, and a budget of €50 million, it operates on three campuses dedicated to i) the industries of the future, ii) health and well-being, and iii) sovereignty in digital technology and microelectronics industries. It is ranked in the top 15 of French graduates schools of engineering and in the Top 500 of world universities. The 2023-2027 strategy of Mines Saint-Étienne contributes to that of Institut Mines-Telecom. Its ambitions are:

• To foster national and European sovereignty in microelectronics and digital technologies.
To support this strategy, Mines Saint-Étienne is recruiting a junior faculty member in biomedical engineering and pharmacology.
JOB DESCRIPTION:
The position available is for a Maitre assistant (permanent junior Faculty member) in biomedical engineering and pharmacology, assigned to the Training and Research Center Centre Ingénierie et Santé (CIS). The Centre Ingénierie et Santé brings together lecturers and researchers in industrial/computer engineering, biomechanics and process engineering, with a focus on healthcare applications: biotechnologies, tissue engineering, e-health, computer-assisted surgery, personalized medicine and patient pathways... Since its creation in 2004, the Centre Ingénierie et Santé is representative of Mines Saint-Etienne's ability to position itself as a leader in innovative fields such as Biological Tissue and Surface Engineering, Healthcare Systems and Services Engineering, and Biomaterials and Inhaled Particle Engineering.
The recruited person will align his/her research project with that of the Research Unit Sainbiose, U1059 Inserm, équipe Dysfonctions Vasculaires et Hémostase (DVH). SAINBIOSE brings together researchers from different disciplines (physicians, engineers, biologists) and different institutions (Université Jean Monnet, Mines Saint-Etienne, INSERM, CHU Saint-Etienne, EFS), whose aim is to work together to improve the care of patients suffering from chronic pathologies and aging in the vascular and osteo-articular systems. SAINBIOSE is developing a cross-disciplinary approach combining mathematical and numerical modelling, technological developments and clinical research to study the mechano-inflammatory effects of these pathologies and their pharmacological treatment.
Rationale for recruitment:
Training context and objectives In terms of teaching, the person recruited will be expected to contribute to life science courses, particularly in the post-bac course being set up at Mines Saint-Etienne, but may also be called upon to take part in the ICM (Ingénieur Civil des Mines) curriculum or master's courses. Pedagogical activities include face-to-face teaching, supervision of projects and internships...
Research context and objectives
In terms of research, the person recruited will be responsible for developing the nanomedicine theme for the inhaled route. This theme will be at the interface of existing themes: aerosol therapy and nanotoxicology. The person recruited will therefore be responsible for integrating and structuring these activities in conjunction with the department's 2 teacher-researchers and technical staff (2 engineers, 1 technician), and also with the SAINBIOSE research unit (DVH team). These activities require in-depth skills in biology, as well as knowledge of pharmacology and the physical chemistry of aerosols.
The position is based on the campus of Saint-Étienne. Participation to activities operated by the other campuses of Mines Saint-Etienne and international collaborations are encouraged.
