Faculty of Science and Engineering

The School of Engineering seeks to appoint a new outward looking, member of Teaching and Research (T&R) staff in Space Engineering. The post is part of substantial new investment in staff and facilities being directed to the Space Engineering Discipline within the School. You are expected to contribute to our current leading research in astrodynamics, Guidance Navigation & Control (GNC), and planetary science. We are leading work in planetary defence asteroid missions and we are seeking to enhance our critical mass and external profile in these areas.  

This appointment is a potential opportunity for either ‘early career’ or more experienced candidates. You will already have an established track record of academic endeavour. This will include papers in internationally leading journals in your field, the potential for, or demonstration of, the ability to attract significant funding from a range of sources. To strengthen our existing portfolio of activities, we are particularly interested in candidates who have an expertise in Orbit Determination and Space Systems. You will be expected to engage with existing – and develop new – networks of academic, industrial, and government collaborators in Aerospace/Space networks within and beyond the University.  

The University has the right to close the vacancy early if it is deemed that there have been enough applications received
