About You
You will have a PhD in a relevant discipline. For an Assistant Professor appointment, you must be able to demonstrate the capability to establish an independent research activity, which has the ambition and potential to become internationally leading.
If appointed as an Assistant Professor, you will be appointed for a probationary period (usually five years) during which you will be given a reduced teaching and administration load to enable you to establish your research group. Successful completion of probation will coincide with promotion to a permanent Associate Professor position.
For an Associate Professor appointment, you will have already established a high-quality independent research activity and have been awarded substantial research funding from external sources, while having experience in successful delivery of teaching activities.
At either level, you will initiate, develop and deliver high quality research, publish top-tier journal papers and demonstrate the potential for impact from your research. You will also engage with higher education pedagogy and be willing to develop novel teaching methods, embracing changes in teaching technology and expectations.

About The Department
The School of Engineering is a multidisciplinary department that aspires to conduct research to internationally leading standards. The School has recently established Research Clusters, launched in the Summer of 2025. This post aligns to the Biomedical & Biotechnology Cluster which includes activities that also align with the Biomedical Engineering Institute (https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/eng/bmei/). The Cluster comprises of at least 12 academic staff. Existing staff pursue research related to Biomedical Engineering, Biomedical and Biological Systems Modelling and Control, Engineering Biology, and Data Analytics. Examples of current strengths include Biomedical Systems Modelling and Data Analysis, Bio-sensor applications, and Biomedical Imaging. We are open to broadening the activities of the Research Cluster and are open to making appointments that are across traditional discipline boundaries.
Warwick operates Research Technology Platforms (RTPs) which enable access to high-end facilities at cross-department level (https://warwick.ac.uk/research/rtp/). Academics in Engineering use these on a regular basis with the Scientific Computing and various characterisation-related RTPs (Electron Microscopy, Spectroscopy, X-Ray Computed Tomography, X-Ray Diffraction, X-Ray Photoemission Spectroscopy, Warwick Centre for Ultrafast Spectroscopy) frequently used. Applicants may wish to give consideration as to how their research links to such facilities.
The School of Engineering leads various undergraduate and taught Masters courses and has > 1,600 students on taught courses with an annual Year 1 undergraduate intake of c. 480 students. Students on our undergraduate programmes follow a common programme of study in Year 1. After this, most students choose to join specialised courses. Applicants should specify how they can contribute to teaching in their application, giving consideration to both our undergraduate and taught postgraduate programmes.
