STAFF

There is currently a Makerspace Technician position available at the School of Biomedical Engineering. This position will support tasks for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year biomedical engineering design course and support academic labs and the design makerspace in Biomedical Engineering at UBC. To learn more about this position or apply, please view the job posting.

FACULTY

The School of Biomedical Engineering in partnership with the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health is currently hiring an Assistant or Associate Professor in Molecular and Cellular Neuro Bioengineering. Research areas of particular interest include: cellular and molecular engineering approaches to neurological disorders; bioengineering neural cell fate control, brain integration or function; engineering cellular or molecular systems that recapitulate neural function; strategies to manipulate neural cellular behaviour at the molecular level, or related areas. A focus on the development of novel bioengineering approaches and technologies to modulate the neural-immune axis and applications to diseases such as Multiple sclerosis (MS) and other diseases with a neural-immune axis would be an asset.

There are currently three positions open within the Faculty of Medicine. Two of these positions will be appointed in the School of Biomedical Engineering. Please view the pdf cluster ad for more information, to view individual available positions and how to apply.

Become an Associate Member

Associate Membership in the School of Biomedical Engineering is an unofficial position given to a faculty member outside of the school when there is a need to have a formal arrangement to participate in teaching, research and service. This is not a joint appointment. To request membership please see here for more instructions: Associate Membership Application. Each application will be reviewed by the School’s leadership team.

Notes on applying for Associate Membership

The term for Associate membership is a maximum of 3 years. For renewal, a new application package must be submitted. It is expected that each member participate in at least one teaching and/or service activity (i.e. serve on a SBME committee, other than graduate supervisory committees). This activity must be clearly outlined in the letter of intent.
