[ETH Diversity] Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Musculoskeletal Bioengineering

[Holzach Alexander (PRS)]

Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Musculoskeletal Bioengineering

 

The Department of Health Sciences and Technology ( <http://www.hest.ethz.ch>
www.hest.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned
position. 

 

The proposed professorship aims to apply engineering principles to the study
of the musculoskeletal system and the development of novel bioengineering
approaches to the treatment of its pathologies and illnesses. The new
professor is expected to provide leadership in the design, characterization
and application of novel biomaterials for use in tissue engineering and
regenerative medicine, with a focus on engineering solutions to control the
host response and target functional restoration. A holistic approach to
bioengineering-based therapies is envisioned, with applications in tissue
engineering and regenerative medicine.   

 

The successful candidate is expected to excel in musculoskeletal
bioengineering, with a deep knowledge of biomaterials development and
application, as well as structure/function requirements for musculoskeletal
tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Possible areas of expertise
include mechanobiology of target tissue families, biomimetic aspects of
multiscale biomaterials fabrication, selection and/or modification of
biomaterials for guided tissue regeneration, use of novel model systems
including human organoids, microphysiological bioreactor systems, in vivo
models with live imaging, multiscale computational biology for the study of
systemic interactions, smart and biosensing materials, and cell and drug
encapsulation.

 

An additional prerequisite is a strong commitment to bioengineering
education and teaching. The professorship will be embedded in the
Department’s program in Health Sciences and Technology. She/he will be
expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German or English) as well as
graduate level courses (English).

 

Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of
younger scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent
to that of other top international universities. At the assistant professor
level, commitment to teaching and the ability to lead a research group are
expected.

 

ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values
diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a
statement of future research and teaching interests, a description of the
leadership philosophy, a description of the three most important
achievements, and a certificate of the highest degree. The letter of
application should be addressed to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr.
Joël Mesot. The closing date for applications is 31 December 2023.
