Senior Teaching Fellow/Teaching Fellow Engineering Design (802545)

The Department of Design, Manufacturing and Engineering Management (DMEM), Faculty of Engineering, University of Strathclyde, wishes to appoint someone who can promote engineering innovation with and for engineering leaders of the future.  The Senior Teaching Fellow in Engineering Design is an open-ended position with opportunity to progress your career to Professor of Learning and Teaching.  Working with Undergraduate (UG), Postgraduate Taught (PGT), Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and also across Graduate Apprenticeship and Degree Apprenticeship (DA) programmes, where apprentices are employed by an organisation and also study towards their degree with the University of Strathclyde. 

DMEM also co-founded the UK’s Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), located off-campus at a dedicated site just outside Glasgow and part of the UK’s High Value Manufacturing Catapult and the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS). We operate substantial and well-established collaborations with academic and industrial partners throughout the world.  With more than 80 Postgraduate Research (PGR) students both PhD and PhD@Work and over 450 students from over 30 nations, we are a vibrant, international community.

The 2026 Guardian University Ranking places Strathclyde 2nd in the UK for Product Design (BEng/MEng Product Design Engineering, MEng/MEng Sports Design Engineering, and BSc/MSci Product Design Innovation). DMEM’s study programmes are accredited by three professional institutions: the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). For details, see ‘Study with Us’ at http://www.dmem.strath.ac.uk.

Fluent in engineering design and cognisant of the interfaces to manufacturing and engineering management. Candidates in all areas related to Engineering Design will be considered, with specialisation in at least one of the routes, including, but not limited to: (1) design process methodology, design methods and tools, (2) creative design and technologies, (3) design psychology and behavioural science, (4) design for manufacturing, or (5) mechanics, analysis, modelling and simulation, experimentation and computation, computer-based design systems (CAD/CAM/AI/Digital product design engineering/innovation), or (5) AI and data science for design and engineering science.

DMEM students have access to a variety of design and (additive) manufacturing equipment in our multiple workshops and labs, e.g. the DMEM’s Digital Design and Manufacturing Studio (DDMS). Across the street and green space from the James Weir building where our Department’s facilities are housed, the University has most recently opened a £60 million state of the art Learning & Teaching hub, aimed at furthering our research and technology programmes. We emphasise through-life learning and offer multiple programmes, including Graduate Apprenticeships, Undergraduate, Postgraduate Taught, Distance Learning, Continuous Professional Development, and Executive programmes comprised of modules across the disciplines of Design, Manufacturing and Engineering Management.

Given the global challenge of climate change and the significant impact of products and their manufacturing process on the environment there is an increasing focus on research, KE and degree and skills training within engineering design.  This is evidenced by increasing funding calls in designing digital transformations, designing sustainable societies, e.g. H2020/HorizonEurope, EPSRC, AHRC, InnovateUK, and others.  Furthermore, you have the opportunity to work with the design team within NMIS and AFRC to provide sustainable design and manufacturing expertise for collaborative research and industrial projects and related High Value Manufacturing Catapult activity.  There will also be additional opportunities through Glasgow City Innovation District (GCID) and regional initiatives to develop educational mission-driven offerings.
