Lecturer in Electromechanical Engineering – Grade 8

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering seeks to appoint a new member of staff as a Lecturer in Electromechanical Engineering on the Teaching and Research (T&R) career path. The University has invested significantly in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Disciplines in the School of Engineering. Our subsonic wind tunnels have been refurbished benefitting from an investment of £1.5 million in facilities and research equipment. Over £0.5M has been invested in the flight simulator facilities and dedicated spaces for robotic technologies, space research and a new low Reynolds number water tunnel are being developed. There has also been significant investment to broaden the inter-disciplinary research within the Department through the creation of the Clean Energy and Power, and Systems Engineering research clusters.

We are now seeking to broaden our research portfolio by appointing a Lecturer in Electromechanical Engineering with a focus on defence and security applications. You will contribute to the development of innovative electromechanical technologies that support the evolving needs of the defence and security sectors, including areas such as robotics, automation, uncrewed autonomous systems and the renewable energy sector. You will join a dynamic and collaborative research environment and will be expected to develop an internationally recognised research programme aligned with national priorities in defence capability and industrial resilience. You will also contribute to teaching and curriculum development across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering while supervising doctoral researchers and engaging with industrial and governmental partners.

The post is full-time on a permanent basis. Interviews and presentations will take place on Wednesday 20th May.
