Job Description
Departments Department of Biomedical Engineering
Eindhoven University of Technology is an internationally top-ranking university in the Netherlands that combines scientific curiosity with a hands-on attitude. Our spirit of collaboration translates into an open culture and a top-five position in collaborating with advanced industries. Fundamental knowledge enables us to design solutions for the highly complex problems of today and tomorrow.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering offers top-level education and research in one of the most relevant and exciting scientific disciplines of the 21st century: engineering combining engineering and life sciences through challenge-based learning and a multidisciplinary approach in collaboration with hospitals industry and others the department addresses the great challenges of the future striving to improve healthcare and society as a whole.
Short introduction
- Are you inspired by understanding the processes of tissue and organ regeneration in the human body
- Are you intrigued by translating these into engineering strategies to help restore lost tissue functions using regenerative therapies or materials
- Are you fascinated by working at the cross-section of engineering and biology to progress the field of regenerative medicine as well as to empower the next generation of biomedical engineers
Description
The Cluster Regenerative Engineering & Materials (REM) within the Department of Biomedical Engineering would like to welcome two new Assistant Professors to complement and enhance its ongoing research and educational efforts. REMs mission is to impact science and society by investigating and developing innovative bioengineering solutions and enabling technologies for the field of Regenerative Medicine through collaborative research excellence and by educating the professionals of the future. As our future colleague you are passionate about contributing to ongoing and new research and training programs. You will conduct frontier research and education aligned with the engineering requirements of regenerative medicine and you are eager to shape the future of the field with us in a collaborative environment.
Profile
As an assistant professor you will establish a new research direction in the field of Regenerative Engineering & Medicine with a strong emphasis on either regenerative biology immuno-engineering or biomechanics and physics-informed data-driven modeling. Your research profile complements the existing areas of research within the REM cluster and the Department of Biomedical Engineering. This includes but is certainly not limited to new clinical applications of regenerative medicine engineered disease modeling complex tissue engineering and analysis matrix biology multi-omics and (epi)genetic engineering immune response mediated regeneration data-driven modeling and hybrid modeling approaches (e.g. physics-informed machine learning). In addition to your own research there are ample opportunities to collaborate on multidisciplinary research projects. You will take the lead in attracting funding for your research and will build connections and collaborations with researchers and research programs within the cluster the department TU/e the Dutch regenerative medicine ecosystem and internationally. You will develop teach and continuously improve courses for the BSc MSc and PhD educational programs in the Biomedical Engineering department. You will supervise and mentor BSc MSc EngD and PhD students empowering the next generation of engineers and you will conduct your research in our shared laboratories where we collectively support one another in accessing advanced infrastructure.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering
Cluster Regenerative Engineering & Materials (REM)
The REM cluster aims to investigate and deliver cutting-edge engineering solutions for the field of regenerative medicine. This includes basic and applied research as well as methodological innovations in the fields of tissue engineering organ regeneration engineered disease modelling biomaterials & biofabrication computational modelling and data sciences. Current research focuses on cardiovascular orthopaedic and soft connective tissues as well as the mechanobiological and immunological aspects of tissue and organ development adaptation degeneration and regeneration. Cluster members are nationally and internationally highly competitive. Research is often performed in close collaboration with clinical partners patient organizations or industry. The clusters educational curriculum includes all relevant basic and applied courses in (computational) tissue engineering regenerative medicine biomechanics and numerical methods at the Bachelors and Masters levels with a keen eye for frontier engineering approaches. Moreover the Department runs a joint master track in Regenerative Medicine and Technology with the University Medical Center Utrecht.
Collaborations and opportunities
The Dutch regenerative medicine field is extensive and internationally leading. The REM cluster at TU/e is positioned very well within the Dutch landscape with excellent visibility and connections to other groups and institutes. Cluster members are involved in the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems the Materials Technology Institute and EAISI TU/es cross-departmental institute for Artificial Intelligence. REM staff take leading positions in several national and international public-private consortia a gravitation program a Summit program and a National Growth Fund in regenerative medicine. Many BmE staff have obtained prestigious personal grants such as Veni/Vidi/Vici ERC Starting Consolidator and Advanced grants.
Regenerative medicine is a topic of common interest across research groups in the Department of Biomedical Engineering such as Chemical Biology Biomaterials Science and Photoacoustics & Ultrasound. Within TU/e collaborations exist with the Department of Mechanical Engineering for example on lab-on-chip developments and with the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science on methodological advancements of AI.
Job requirements
- An ambitious collaborative and passionate researcher and educator with a PhD in the field of regenerative engineering applied cell biology biomedical engineering mechanical engineering or similar with a keen interest in biomechanics immunology and regenerative medicine.
- A distinguished record of academic achievements in research and education reflected in high-quality impactful publications research-based product ideas patents or other outputs.
- Ability to secure external research funding.
