Nanyang
Technological University (Singapore)
Assistant/Associate Professor in Bioengineering
The biomedical- and life science-related industries in Singapore
have seen remarkable growth in
recent years. With the demand for trained engineers
and researchers with knowledge interfacing engineering and life sciences, a new
bioengineering program has been
initiated at the Nanyang
Technological University (NTU).
Together with its predecessor Nanyang University,
NTU has offered higher education for more than 50 years. NTU
boasts of a campus of 200 hectares, an academic staff strength of 1,300 and an
enrolment of 19,000
undergraduate and 8,000
graduate students. Its research and
infrastructure is very well-funded by the government and industries. As the main science and technology university
in Singapore,
NTU makes significant contributions to the nation's renewed drive for research.
The Division
of Bioengineering of the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering
at NTU invites applications for tenure-track faculty appointments at the
Assistant and Associate Professor level, in all general areas of bioengineering including
but not restricted to: bioimaging, biomedical devices, tissue engineering,
biomaterials, systems biology, computational biology, and bio-nanotechnology. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in relevant
disciplines, preferably with postdoctoral experience and strong record in
publication. The newly formed School attracts top undergraduate students
in Singapore
and regional countries. The well-funded School is equipped with
state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and research, and it is now housed in two new buildings totaling 30,000 square meters.
The number of undergraduate
students of the Bioengineering Division is
approximately 400. The Division is rapidly building up its graduate program with an aim to have 100
graduate students during steady state operation. It is envisaged to have a core faculty size
of about 25 and several joint faculty appointments with other divisions/schools
within NTU. Successful applicants can
look forward to a research-stimulating environment and interaction with some of
the best undergraduate and graduate students from the region.
