NUAcT-McGregor Fellowship in Shipping

We are a world class research-intensive university. We deliver teaching and learning of the highest quality. We play a leading role in economic, social and cultural development of the North East of England. Attracting and retaining high-calibre people is fundamental to our continued success.

We are looking to grow our research in Shipping and closely related areas (especially transport and logistics) in distinctive and innovative ways and welcome candidates from across - and between - all disciplines related to these areas. Key to our ambition is a desire to actively help the shipping and related sectors in their quest to achieve net zero.

If your expertise and passion lie in areas such as: analysing shipping and logistics systems; helping transport operations to become both greener and smarter; investigating pathways to net zero intermodal transport; exploiting the potential of logistics data; maximising the potential of intelligent and smart systems; enhancing transport safety, cyber security and resilience; then we'd love to hear from you.

Our NUAcT Fellowship in Shipping will galvanise and build research momentum across the University around a number of different opportunity areas, embedding the Fellow into a supportive multidisciplinary environment, which includes our Newcastle University Centre of Research Excellence in Mobility and Transport and our Marine, Offshore and Subsea Technology Research Group at the School of Engineering.

There will be opportunities too to develop links with researchers across the University in areas beyond shipping and logistics such as for example computing science, civil engineering, geography, energy systems and business.
