The role
The School of Civil, Aerospace and Design Engineering (CADE) is seeking to appoint a permanent Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Engineering with Artificial Intelligence (AI). This reflects the School’s strategic commitment to AI in engineering, following Bristol’s recent recognition as “AI University of the Year.”

You will also support undergraduate teaching in machine learning (ML) and AI across our Aero, Civil, and Design programmes, all ranked in the UK’s top five.
If you’re passionate about advancing engineering science through AI and eager to collaborate with leading experts, we encourage you to apply. Appointment will be at Grade J, K (Lecturer), or L (Senior Lecturer), depending on experience and qualifications.
What will you be doing?
You will contribute to research, teaching, and academic administration at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Senior Lecturers will take on leadership roles in developing and overseeing research and teaching, with a significant contribution to strategic planning and management.
Lecturers (Grades J/K) will actively support the School’s teaching and research while building independent portfolios. Senior Lecturers (Grade L) should demonstrate a strong track record in independent research, securing funding, strategic development, and leadership within academic teams.
