The role as Lecturer in Thermofluids

(Computational Fluid Dynamics)

With a philosophy of ‘knowledge applied’, we place a strong emphasis on hands-on learning and all our engineering courses incorporate a significant portion of project-based learning at each level.

We are seeking an inspirational and driven Lecturer in Thermofluids (Computational Fluid Dynamics) who will deliver high-quality, inclusive and research-informed teaching in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer and, in particular, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), with responsibility for developing students’ simulation, modelling and engineering analysis skills using industry-standard CFD tools. The role includes curriculum development, assessment and project supervision, supporting student success and employability through applied and industry-relevant learning. The post holder will also undertake scholarship, research, innovation and knowledge exchange activities in CFD and thermofluid engineering, producing high-quality outputs, developing external partnerships and contributing to the advancement of digital engineering solutions for complex flow, thermal and energy systems.

Through our Research, Innovation and Knowledge Exchange (RIKE) planning process the university provides Teaching and Scholarship staff with the ability to apply for additional time to carry out RIKE activity, beyond time for academic development and research and scholarly activity. The additional allocation of hours is determined by quality thresholds and aligned to agreed objectives, and reflected in academic work planning, Personal Development Review and academic development processes. Staff whose work is included in the university's submission to the Research Evaluation Framework (REF) would normally be expected to follow this route.

The team

The School of Engineering and Built Environment is arranged into a number of subject areas: Electrical, Electronic and Future Technologies, Mechanical Engineering, Future Transportation, Built Environment, and Energy, Infrastructure and Environment.  We place equal emphasis on teaching and research, be it subject or pedagogic research into teaching Engineering, Physics and Built Environment to transform lives.

With excellent links to industry, we develop innovative technologies and solutions that improve quality of life, support the sustainable growth of businesses, and address fundamental scientific and engineering challenges. Through strong partnerships with industry, we provide rich applied learning opportunities for our students, ensuring they graduate with the knowledge, skills and experience needed to excel in the labour market.

Research, Innovation and Knowledge Exchange in the School has strong alignment with UKRI priority areas, such as Manufacturing the Future, Clean Technologies, AI and Robotics, as well as Digital Innovations for Health. We are a welcoming community where staff and students are encouraged to develop their careers and make a fulfilling impact.
