Teaching Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Biomedical Engineering

Shantou University – Department of Biomedical Engineering

The Department of Biomedical Engineering invites applications for multiple faculty positions with teaching focus. Applicants should have teaching expertise in neural engineering and rehabilitation, bio-MEMS, medical materials, tissue engineering, medical signal and image processing, and/or medical big data analytics. Founded in 2017, the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Shantou University is directly supported by a specially appointed grant from the Li Ka Shing Foundation (LKSF) and has greatly benefited from well-established engineering and medical disciplines which have produced outstanding results in both clinical education and scientific research. The Department of Biomedical Engineering aims to nurture talents who can combine knowledge and practice of engineering, computer technology, and life science. By leveraging international leading biomedical engineering curriculum from the University of Michigan and encouraging engagement in international and domestic collaborative projects,

A group of researchers from the University of Kentucky, The University of Tennessee and Indiana University, including those supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, have collaborated with scientists from the U.S. Forest Service and others to produce the first complete genome for the white oak (Quercus alba), a tree that provides large amounts of timber and is the primary species used in barrels for aging spirits.

The white oak at Makers Mark Star Hill Farm that provided the sample for recent NSF-funded work to develop a haploid genome for the species, which can be used in conserving this economically important tree.

Data to complete the genome came from a range of academic sources, the Forest Service, state forest services and industry. By combining those data into an unbiased annotation of the white oak’s genes, the researchers have created a resource to understand genetic diversity and population differentiation within the species, assess disease resistance and the evolution of genes that enhance it, and compare with other oak genomes to determine evolutionary relationships between species and how the genomes have evolved.

“Plants, including trees, help meet society’s needs for food, fuel, fiber and, in this case, other key economic services. Having genomic data like this helps us address
