jobbeskrivelse:

DTU Health Tech is a multi-disciplinary department at DTU, Technical University of Denmark, based on both top-down and bottom-up micro- and nanotechnology.

DTU Health Tech wishes to strengthen its research, innovation and teaching activities in the field of silicon based Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and its applications within healthcare engineering including bringing such systems to clinical research. The aim for DTU Health Tech is to secure and further develop the department's excellent position in this area.

The professor will be affiliated with the MEMS Group in the Section for Biomedical Engineering (BME), which is one of ten research sections at DTU Health Tech.

Responsibilities and tasks

DTU Health Tech therefore seeks a professor with both research, innovation and teaching experience in the following areas:

• Cleanroom based fabrication of MEMS components with applications in the field of healthcare engineering such as biomedical imaging
• Characterization of MEMS devices (electrical, mechanical and acoustical)
• Development of theory, methodology, and computational tools for modelling of MEMS devices
• Development of fully functional MEMS based systems for healthcare engineering (i.e. devices that can be used in the clinic) with special focus on transducers for biomedical imaging.

The professor will contribute to teaching, innovation and research activities in the department, and is expected to participate actively in international as well as national collaborative projects. The professor is expected to establish relations with other research groups at DTU and at the department, working with related topics. The professor is also expected to establish relations with companies in the field to create collaborative innovation projects.
