The Department of Civil Engineering in the School of Infrastructure and Sustainable Engineering (SISE) at Aston University seeks applicants for a Lecturer position in Civil Engineering. We are looking for a self-motivated individual with a keen interest in student learning and teaching, and who has great potential to develop an internationally recognised research profile.
