Who are we looking for?
We are seeking a Professor / Associate Professor, Mechanical Circulatory Support, Faculty of Engineering to join School of Mechanical, Medical and Process Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Academic Division.
The Artificial Heart Frontiers Program has been developing artificial hearts and related technologies over the last decade or more. We have teamed with leading academic, healthcare and industry partners to launch a new program to develop the world’s most advanced artificial heart, and the next generation of cardiovascular technology to support all patients with heart failure. The AHFP (Associate) Professor of Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) is a key position for the MRFF funded AHFP operations. This role will oversee all aspects of the development of the MiniPump device; a miniature blood pump which is targeted to support patients with severe heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This includes oversight and contribution to the mechanical and electrical engineering development work that is required to design, prototype, test and manufacture the MiniPump. It also includes oversight of activities as part of a collaboration with other AHFP Chief Investigators including implementation of physiological control systems, remote monitoring, wearables and digital apps, and pre-clinical evaluation including simulations, benchtop experiments (mock loops, haemocompatibility), and animal studies. The position will oversee and contribute to the development of optimised hydraulic systems for the blood pump to meet a range of physiological conditions. Importantly, the position will have a leadership role in the AHFP team which will involve mentoring and supporting other members of the team and assisting them with their professional development. The role will also have oversight of the budget for some AHFP projects and be involved in future fundraising activities.
