Thus, the successful applicant will be expected to design and deliver engaging, innovative and responsive teaching, achieving outstanding student learning outcomes. The successful applicant will also actively engage in high-quality research, scholarly and/or practice activity that informs, extends and transforms their subject area and informs teaching.

It is desirable that your research portfolio relates to emerging and sustainable technologies that contribute to the UK's net zero emissions target. 

The successful applicant will have a postgraduate qualification in Mechanical/Automotive Engineering or a related discipline. If from a professional practice/industry background, the successful applicant will have a qualification equivalent to degree level (or above) together with relevant professional experience within the Engineering Sector. A teaching qualification and experience of teaching in higher education are desirable. Experience of working in or collaborating with relevant industries is desirable, and there will be opportunities to work with the industry on knowledge exchange projects. We require particular expertise in sustainable technologies such as Hybrid and Electric vehicles.
