The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Transport to strengthen its research and teaching capacity in this area. The successful candidate will be based in the Centre for Intelligent Infrastructure which undertakes cross-cutting research into sustainable and resilient civil infrastructure systems, and has established collaborations with key transport authorities, including Transport Scotland, National Highways and Network Rail, leading transport operators and consultancies. Candidates will be working in a recognised area of transport research which is consistent with the strategic direction of the Centre and CEE more generally, and includes, but is not limited to, the following areas: safety, reliability, resilience and adaptation of transport systems, measurement and evaluation of the impacts of novel transport and mobility interventions, transport decarbonisation, and the management, condition monitoring and maintenance of transport infrastructure networks.

To be considered for the role you will have a PhD in an appropriate discipline. You will have a strong track record of published research in high quality publications commensurate to your career stage. You will have research experience and interests consistent with the strategic direction of the Department and the Centre for Intelligent Infrastructure. You will have excellent communication skills and a commitment to excellence in teaching at all levels.

As a leading international technological university, the University of Strathclyde is recognised for its world class research, knowledge exchange and educational programmes. Over the last few years, the Department has seen considerable success in all aspects of academia and we are ambitious to continue this upward trajectory. We are a dynamic department, with a reputation for having a friendly and active research culture. We have a current population of around 70 PhD students and our research income has tripled in the past 5 years. Our overall student satisfaction score in the NSS was 94% in 2022 which was one of the top scores for Civil Engineering in the UK.

In 2022 we became the first Engineering Department in the UK to hold a Gold Athena Swan Award and one of only three Gold awards to be held in Engineering. This award recognises the work the department has done to address inequalities and barriers faced by women in Engineering, highlights how strongly the department has embedded inclusion and support for all its staff and students in everything we do, and acknowledges how much our leadership in this area is helping Strathclyde, the higher education sector and the Civil Engineering industry become more inclusive places to work and study.
