Senior Lecturer in Digital Engineering (Robotics & Applied AI)

Based within the School of Engineering at the University of Greenwich, this role forms part of a transformation as we realign our academic portfolio to focus on Digital Engineering, with a particular emphasis on Applied AI in Engineering, Robotics and Automation and Digital Engineering. The School operates across two campuses—Greenwich in London and Medway in Kent—with this post primarily based at the Medway campus, contributing to the delivery and development of our Digital Engineering and Innovation Portfolio such as Applied AI for Engineering, Robotics and Automation, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering programmes.

The successful candidate will contribute across the School of Engineering but will play a key role within the Digital Engineering and Innovation Portfolio. This post will support the School’s broader strategic aims and help ensure that our programmes meet the requirements of PSRBs, with particular value placed on accreditation and alignment with institutions such as the IET.

We are seeking a committed and forward-thinking academic with a strong background in teaching, research, or professional practice in a relevant field. You will bring sector-informed insight and pedagogical innovation that enhance the student learning experience, contribute to the continuous development of our curriculum, and support the School’s enterprise and research activities.

The role also requires active contribution to the University’s performance in the Research Excellence Framework (REF), Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), and Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF), as well as a clear commitment to enhancing student satisfaction and experience. A PhD or equivalent professional experience in a related area is essential. Experience in higher education teaching or in industry-led training is highly desirable, as is a demonstrable understanding of professional standards and accreditation requirements. Possessing a relevant PSRB membership, would be a significant advantage.
