About the role
King’s College London is seeking to recruit a Professor of Engineering to contribute to our programme of internationally excellent research and to lead on ambitious plans to grow our undergraduate education portfolio. We are in the process of integrating elements of the first year of our existing programmes in electronic engineering, general engineering and biomedical engineering; in addition, we plan to develop new programmes in other branches of engineering to which elements of the newly integrated first year would also contribute.
The post-holder will act as the academic lead for this integration, which will underpin our ambitious plans for growth, playing a prominent role in helping to shape and deliver the strategic development of engineering programmes at King’s College London.
Engineering at King’s College London is delivered across two academic units: the Department of Engineering (Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences) and the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences (Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine).
The successful applicant will be appointed to the unit most closely aligned with their research interests, while exercising a cross-faculty remit.
They will play a central role in driving collaboration across both faculties, leading the educational integration and portfolio growth project, and will be jointly accountable to the Vice Dean Education in the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical and Engineering Sciences, and the Dean of Bioscience Education in the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine.
The post-holder will provide inspirational vision and leadership, demonstrating an ability to work across departmental and faculty boundaries to deliver complex education change projects, at large scale and at pace. Alongside this, they will be internationally recognised as an expert in their own field, continuing a full and active programme of research commensurate with an academic post at this level.
This is a full time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered an indefinite contract.
