Lecturer in Electrical Engineering

Role Description

The School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at the University of York has an international reputation for excellence in research and teaching. In line with the School's long-term plans for expansion we seek to appoint an outstanding academic to build upon and expand existing strengths in electrical engineering, contributing to the research, teaching and administration of this discipline.

As a School, equality, diversity, and inclusion are central to our culture and we strive to provide a working environment which allows all staff and students to contribute fully, to flourish, and to excel. We aim to ensure that there is a supportive and egalitarian culture at all levels and across all staff groups and offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, staff engagement forums, campus facilities and services to support staff from different backgrounds. We are proud of our Athena SWAN and Juno awards.

Role

You will have evidence of developing an international research record and should possess a clear research vision across the area of electrical engineering. We particularly welcome applications from candidates with expertise in one [or more] of the following areas: renewable energy, sustainable materials, power electronics, smart electrical distribution (e.g. smart grid, HVDC, power system protection/stability/optimisation, electronic power systems, multi-vector energy system), energy storage technologies (e.g. battery, fuel cell, air compressed) or semiconductor devices (e.g. power, photovoltaics, thermoelectric).

You will contribute to the School's growing research reputation in this area, including supporting impact activities, in addition to designing, developing and delivering undergraduate and postgraduate teaching across a range of related subjects.

Specifically, you will:

• Individually and collaboratively develop research projects and proposals, contributing to the production of research outputs, outcomes and impact;
• Publish original research in appropriate journals or other relevant media as appropriate and attend international conferences for the purpose of disseminating research results or for personal development;
• Design, develop and deliver teaching across a wide range of modules and within a particular programme or subject area;
• Supervise PhD students;
• Undertake, effectively, a range of administrative and managerial responsibilities.

Skills, Experience & Qualification needed

Key requirements for the post are:

• PhD in Engineering or Physics, or equivalent experience;
• Expertise in electrical engineering. We particularly welcome applications from candidates with expertise in one [or more] of the following areas: renewable energy, sustainable materials, power electronics, smart electrical distribution (e.g. smart grid, HVDC, power system protection/stability/optimisation, electronic power systems, multi-vector energy system), energy storage technologies (e.g. battery, fuel cell, air compressed) or semiconductor devices (e.g. power, photovoltaics, thermoelectric);
• Proven ability to contribute to high quality research which is publicly evidenced;
• Experience of practical work in electrical engineering;
• Ability to supervise the work of others including PhD students.
