Professor/Reader/Senior Lecturer in Engineering Management (844906)

The Department of Design, Manufacturing and Engineering Management (DMEM) is an internationally leading department delivering Total Engineering for responsible and sustainable futures. We seek to appoint a Professor/Reader/Senior Lecturer (SL) in Engineering Management, with an envisaged start as soon as possible. In the UK, an SL is tenured and at Associate Professorship level, and a Reader position is tenured and at the next level following an Associate Professorship, equivalent to a promoted Professorship as termed, for example, in Sweden.

Are you passionate about working on global challenges and societal transitions, including sustainability, healthcare, food systems or manufacturing systems? Do you thrive on theory-driven and empirically validated research excellence, learning and teaching with and for engineering leaders of the future? We'd love to hear from you, particularly if your research interests include engineering project and programme management, large- or mega-project management, digitalisation of production and service systems, smart, circular and green supply chain management, technology and innovation management, and industrial and systems engineering management. Bring your expertise and you will be given the space to develop and grow.

DMEM brings together expertise in creative and engineering design, manufacturing, and engineering operations management. Our research centres and groups focus on through-life product and system development, with core themes of creativity and innovation, materials exploration, sustainability and technology. We are proud of our substantial collaborations with academic and industrial partners throughout the world. As part of the Faculty of Engineering, the University of Strathclyde's bold vision places us among the world's leading international technological universities. Located in the heart of Glasgow, the University has more than 28,000 students and approximately 3,000 staff from over 80 countries. Strathclyde is recognised internationally for its close working relationships with business, government and industry.

DMEM has a strong international reputation for research and teaching and is one of the premier departments in the UK. Our partnerships with industry, academic institutions, research agencies and governmental organisations ensure the industrial applicability of our courses and research outputs, while providing students with state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities. DMEM offers an attractive portfolio of courses in engineering design, manufacturing and engineering management. Engineering management is at the core of the Department's educational offerings across four undergraduate programmes, more than ten postgraduate taught programmes, and multiple CPD programmes. These include Engineering Project Management, Manufacturing Engineering with Management, Engineering Management for Process Excellence, Digital Manufacturing, Supply Chain & Sustainability Management, Systems Engineering Management, Mechatronics and Automation, Product Design Engineering, Product Design Innovation, Technology and Innovation Management. Programmes are accredited by professional institutions including IED, IET and IMechE, with selected programmes recognised by APM and CIPS. See “Study with Us” at DMEM website.

Initial interviews have been scheduled for late October or early November 2026, with the most likely dates being Thursday 22 October 2026 or Tuesday 27 October 2026.
