Open Positions

Within the Louvain School of Engineering (EPL) and the Institute of Mechanics, Materials and Civil Engineering (iMMC) or the Information and Communication Technologies, Electronics and Applied Mathematics Institute (ICTEAM), Science and Technology Sector, this position will include the following teaching, research and community service duties:

• Teaching 

You will teach mainly in the field of biomedical engineering, and more generally, you will participate in teaching activities in the various study cycles managed by the Louvain School of Engineering (EPL). (…)

You will also be expected to supervise master’s theses.

• Research

You will develop your research activities, including the lead of research programmes, in the field of Biomedical Engineering, and particularly in one of the following two thematics :

• Biomechanics, i.e., the development and/or use of mechanical tools to study the functioning of living beings. Particular attention will be paid to multi-scale applications involving solid mechanics: study of movement, characterization of the musculoskeletal system, sport sciences, prevention and care of orthopedic or muscular pathologies, preoperative modeling, biomechanics of tissues (hard and soft), etc.
• Bioelectronics, i.e., the development and/or use of electronic tools to study the functioning of living beings. Particular attention will be paid to sensors located on the surface or inside the human body. Among important issues are the miniaturization aspects of these sensors, their low power, their life cycle and the ability to transfer their information to a nearby communication system.

You will be responsible for the supervision of PhD theses in your field of research. The research carried out may concern both humans and animals. We are particularly interested in applications from candidates combining an experimental approach (in the laboratory and/or in the field) with a modeling approach (through the development of new tools or the use of existing tools).
