Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Electrical Engineering (Teaching and Research)

About the Role

The School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) is extending its expertise in the area of electrification of transport and grid systems on top of an already established research track record. We have invested substantially in state-of-the-art laboratory equipment both for research and teaching in relevant areas. Additionally, Queen Mary University of London has been ranked 16th in the world, 1st in UK and 2nd in Europe for Electrical and Electronic Engineering in the latest U.S News Best Global Universities Rankings (2024): https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/electrical-electronic-engineering

We are now looking to appoint a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Electrical Engineering (Control and Energy Storage Systems) to support teaching and research in EECS. The successful candidate will ideally join us by August 2025.

About You

The post requires an effective communicator of new and complex ideas with an ability to engage the interest and enthusiasm of the target audience. You will have a PhD, or equivalent experience, in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. This is a research-active post and you should therefore have a track-record of high-quality research in at least one of the following areas at a national and ideally international level: energy storage systems including batteries, hydrogen cells and other types of grid storage systems, control system applications in electric transport and sustainable energy systems.  Teaching experience in control systems and battery management systems would be an advantage.

Your future research plans should also be clear and ambitious. Queen Mary is a signatory of DORA declaration, and as such the quality of your research will be judged on its own merits.
