Would you love to make an impact with your research and inspire students? Work at a true campus university with a pleasant atmosphere? And immediately appoint your own PhD candidate? Then you will find this role an excellent fit.
The Department of Biomechanical Engineering at the University of Twente invites female candidates for an assistant professor position to complement, extend and strengthen the department's competence in medical robots.
About the Job
As an assistant professor you will work in the Biomechanical Engineering (BE) department of the Faculty of Engineering Technology. The Department of Biomechanical Engineering consists of over 80 members and is engaged in a broad range of biomedical research topics. We focus on the design and control of medical robotic systems for a variety of clinically-relevant applications. Our department has a strong focus on prostheses, wearable exoskeletons, artificial organs, surgical robots, and rehabilitation robots. For example, the research in our department ranges from design and image-guided control of macro-micro-scale surgical robots, to developing neuromusculoskeletal models for control of both bionic limbs, to design and real-time control of soft wearable exo-suits. Moreover, we also evaluate our medical robots in pre-clinical trials. In collaboration with industrial leaders we also conduct research with existing commercial medical robots to further improve the technology.
We are part of the [TechMed Centre](https://www.utwente.nl/en/techmed/), and have an extensive network of clinical institutions with whom we collaborate. We are also part of the [MESA+ NanoLab](https://www.utwente.nl/en/mesaplus/infrastructure/nanolab/), and have access to world-class cleanroom facilities.

We are looking for a promising female Assistant Professor who will be working on topics within the broad area of medical robots. The position is funded by a national program that strives for more female professors in engineering. We are looking for somebody who connects and strengthens our research and educational program on medical robotics, but who will be complementary to our department's expertise.
The candidate is expected to participate in the teaching of courses offered by the department at Bachelor and at Master level to the educational programs technical medicine, industrial design, mechanical engineering, biomedical technology and the new cross-faculty master program Robotics. You will supervise students in their graduation assignments, and you will contribute towards the supervision of the PhD candidate(s).
In this role you will have the opportunity to directly appoint your own PhD. And in time, there are opportunities to grow into the role of Associate Professor. All your work takes place on the beautiful, green campus in Twente. Want to know more about the UT?
