£43,414 - £51,805 per annum

Indefinite Contract - 36.5 hours per week / 1.0 FTE

The Future Mobility: Energy education group within WMG continue to see rapid growth in our undergraduate, post-graduate, degree apprenticeship and industry short courses. We now have a vacancy for a new post, teaching across our automotive and vehicle electrification programmes.

This is a teaching focussed role, and your primary aim will be the successful design and delivery of our education programmes.

We have a significant opportunity for an Assistant Professor to join us and lead our teaching in energy storage systems. The scope of the role is broad, covering component design through to application integration, taking an informed academic perspective. Teaching is to learners at undergraduate and postgraduate level, many of whom join us on professional education programmes and apprenticeship degrees from our industry partners in addition to short courses and a global multicultural full-time student cohort. The successful candidate will reside within the Future Mobility Discipline Group and work closely with WMG’s Battery Systems Engineering research group.

We are looking for someone who has experience in Energy Storage Systems focusing on chemical energy storage, primarily Li-Ion (fuel cell also desirable), in an academic and/or industrial setting, along with experience of designing teaching materials, and the ability to use a range of techniques to adapt to the needs of learners. You will need to have a teaching qualification or accreditation or be willing to seek accreditation when in post.

You will work with key stakeholders within WMG, the wider Warwick community and partners in industry to update courses and teaching materials and deliver teaching, tutoring and project supervision across our full range of courses. We welcome applicants with teaching experience from a similar role elsewhere in academia, and also those with significant industry experience of automotive engineering and / or vehicle electrification programmes who are seeking a career change to an academic teaching role.

This is an exciting opportunity for you to develop your own professional profile and work as part of a successful team, contributing to the development of its teaching and learning activities. In return we will provide a great range of benefits which include an attractive pension scheme, 30 days holiday plus bank holidays and Christmas closure, some fantastic savings on a wide range of products and services, and excellent learning and development opportunities. Alongside our existing flexible working policy, the university is launching a new hybrid-working model from Sept 2021 with significant opportunities for flexible and remote working aligned with individual circumstances and the day-to-day needs of the role.

Interview Date: TBC.

Closing Date: 10 January 2023.
