**About us**:
**University College London (UCL)**

**UCL Mechanical Engineering**

UCL Mechanical Engineering has been pioneering the development of engineering education, having taught the core discipline for over 165 years. UCL was home to the UK’s first ever Professor of the Mechanical Principles of Engineering, Eaton Hodgkinson, in 1847. It was also where Sir Alexander Blackie William Kennedy introduced organized laboratory practicals in university education training; a world-leading educational innovation at the time.

**About the role**:
The physical-mechanical interactions that shape our skulls during infancy are poorly understood. This lack of fundamental knowledge limits our ability to advance treatment of a wide range of craniofacial conditions mostly affecting children. This is a significant engineering challenge due to the complexity of this system.

You will be working in Moazen Lab on an EPSRC funded project (CranioMech). Your main role would be to lead on various in/ex vivo animal experiments. This will include designing the required experimental set up, assembling the equipment, developing the control program to run the set up, analysing the results and presenting the finding in the format of journal articles and presentations to the wider community.

**About you**:
You are expected to have a strong background in control engineering and have previous experience in designing and developing costume experimental set up for in/ex vivo animal experiments.

You should have a PhD in a relevant discipline (e.g. Bio/Medical/Control Engineering) or be nearing completion. Appointment at Grade 7 is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD; if this is not the case, initial appointment will be at Grade 6B (salary £34,502 - £36,348 per annum including London Allowance), with payment at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD Thesis.

You must have experience in LabVIEW and control engineering.

As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer great benefits.
