Within this context, the Department of Engineering Physics is seeking an outstanding individual for a tenure-track or tenured position in Bio-innovation (Biomedical Devices and Systems). The appointment is intended to be at the Assistant Professor level, but exceptional candidates at the Associate Professor or Professor level may also be considered.
Applicants must have earned a Ph.D. in Engineering Physics or a closely related discipline, and have expertise in the field of biomedical devices and systems. Possible research topics may include, but are not limited to, optoelectronics, photonics, plasmonics, electronics, and microfluidics; miniaturized photonic components such as microring resonators, photonic crystals, integrated optical waveguides, and nanostructured materials; implantable photonic and optoelectronic devices; biosensors based on photonic or optoelectronic structures; biomedical instrumentation development (nanosensors or imagers); and biomimetic macro-, micro-, or nano-scale devices.
Consistent with McMaster’s vision of being a research-intensive university, the successful applicant will be expected to develop a dynamic research program. Relevant industrial experience, the ability to interact with other research groups (on- and off-campus), and interest in creating and maintaining ties with major industrial players within the broader biomedical community, will be essential. Successful candidates will ideally make use of the facilities in the Centre for Emerging Device Technologies, the Brockhouse Institute for Materials Research, the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy, and the McMaster Biophotonics Facility. The successful candidate is expected to explore potential research collaborations within the University, especially in the Faculty of Health Sciences. The candidate is expected to work effectively with individuals from diverse communities and cultures.
A demonstrated or strong potential for excellence in teaching and curriculum development at both the undergraduate and graduate levels is essential.
The successful candidate will be expected to obtain a full or limited licence from Professional Engineers Ontario.
The Faculty of Engineering promotes a nurturing and inclusive environment where opportunities are made available for personal growth and professional development

McMaster University’s beautiful campus is at the north-west end of Hamilton on the western end of Lake Ontario, between the Niagara Escarpment, conservation lands, and the Royal Botanical Gardens. Hamilton, with a population of over 500,000, is a vibrant community with easy access to Toronto and the Niagara region. It is located at the northern tip of an ecological zone commonly called the Carolinian Forest that encompasses the southernmost portion of Ontario and occurs nowhere else in Canada. As a result, Hamilton is home to many unique species of plants and animals that only occur here because the summer climate approaches that of the mid-Atlantic region in the eastern United States.
Review of applications will begin May 1, 2017, with a start date as early as Sept 1, 2017. Applications will continue to be accepted until the position is filled.
Interested applicants should send the following to the Faculty Search Committee:
- Letter of application
- Curriculum Vitae
- Statements on teaching and research interests
- Selection of research publications (no more than four examples)
- Names of at least three referees
All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply. However, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
