Lecturer in Structural Engineering

The Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering is looking for a Lecturer in Structural Engineering to conduct world leading research and help facilitate the education of our students.

The Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering is internationally renowned and is consistently ranked near the top of UK league tables, enabling us to attract high quality staff and students. We have achieved excellent results in the National Student Survey over a number of years and the University currently has a triple Gold award in the Teaching Excellence Framework and more than 90% of Bath research submitted was ranked as 'world leading' or 'internationally excellent' in the Research Excellence Framework.

We are specifically looking for someone to conduct research and teach in one or more of the following fields:

Structural form finding

Digital tools for structural optimisation (not only for structural component or joint optimisation) Structural fire engineering We are not looking for someone with experience mainly in the fields of structural materials or Finite Element modelling, but Finite Element modelling may be a tool used in your research.

The teaching and learning environment within the Department includes a range of teaching methods with online or in-person delivery, including lecturing, tutorials with large and small groups, placement visits, studio teaching and preparation of online learning resources. The activities will range from lectures with around 250 students to 1:1 studio teaching.  This teaching role covers all aspects of the design, delivery and development of education on the University of Bath's taught programmes. You will not necessarily be expected to undertake the full range at any one time but may be required to do any of them, according to the changing needs in the Department.

Your research will be affiliated to one of our multidisciplinary Faculty research centres and you will work with colleagues across the Faculty of Engineering & Design and the University to develop research funding proposals, conduct your research, supervise and mentor others in their research, produce high quality research publications and engage with industry and the public in the promotion of your research findings. 

Underpinning these activities are an ongoing commitment to continuing professional development and scholarship, where scholarship involves engaging with a deep and broad study of Structural Engineering, familiarity with the current boundaries of knowledge and how they are advanced, and active participation in the development of education.

For an informal discussion, please contact Prof. Heath, Head of Department, absah@bath.ac.uk or Prof. Zang, Deputy Head of Department, jz235@bath.ac.uk.
