The University of British Columbia -
The School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME) at The University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver campus, invites applications for a full-time Lecturer position for a one-year term to lead the development of courses for a new program entitled: “MUlti-Scale multi-modal Image Computing for health (MUSIC)”.
The School of Biomedical Engineering is a partnership between the Faculties of Medicine and Applied Science, acting as a nucleus for education and training, research, and innovation in biomedical engineering, creating new knowledge, new academic and training programs, and fostering translation and innovation. Its vision is to transform health care outcomes through unconstrained exploration of the best possible integrative solutions across engineering, medicine, and biology. Through collaborative, innovative, and interdisciplinary approach and building on UBC academic and research excellence, the School of Biomedical Engineering is emerging as a global leader in biomedical engineering research, education and translation. For more information about the School of Biomedical Engineering, please visit https://www.bme.ubc.ca/.
The MUSIC program is funded by the Natural Sciences & Engineering Research Council of Canada’s (NSERC) CREATE program. Building on the established Biomedical Imaging and Artificial Intelligence (BMIAI) research cluster at UBC (https://bmiai.ubc.ca/) and its extensive connections with Canada’s burgeoning biotech industry, MUSIC responds to an acute need for a multi-faceted, data-driven approach to understanding the biological processes that lead to disease. With MUSIC training, over 100 highly qualified personnel (HQP) will be able to measure, manipulate, and analyze biomedical data at a wide range of physical scales, using advanced signal processing and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. Through this program, we intend to create two graduate-level courses as follows, the development of which would be led by the Lecturer.
