The School of Engineering invites applications for an Assistant or Associate Professor position in the field of Power Electronic Converters and Devices.

The post is on the Research and Teaching Pathway.

We seek applicants with demonstrated leadership and expertise in Wide Bandgap and/or Ultra-Wide Bandgap power semiconductor devices, converters and systems as the role will be expected to develop a leading independent research programme.

The postholder will contribute to research leadership in power electronic devices and converters, strengthen existing activities in power electronics and electronic materials, and develop collaborations with industrial and academic partners. The role provides opportunities to engage in interdisciplinary research and to contribute to the development of externally funded research programmes.
