Professor in Avionics Engineering

Applications are invited for the post of Professor in Avionics Engineering within Aston University’s Department of Mechatronics and Biomedical Engineering. Successful candidates should demonstrate national leadership and an internationally recognised profile in Avionics Engineering. The postholder will lead and nurture research, education and external engagement in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, while contributing significantly to the School’s new provision in Aerospace Engineering, especially in areas aligned with avionics, electronic systems integration, model-based systems development and control. We are particularly keen to hear from applicants with research background in design, development and integration of electronic systems and components to aircrafts, familiarisation with testing, certification and regulatory standards, and applications to communication systems, navigation, control and instrumentation, and/or power electronics.

Applicants must have a first degree and PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Control Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related discipline. We would also expect applicants to have achieved professional recognition as Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) or above or be willing to achieve this once in post. It is desirable that applicants are familiar with a virtual learning environment (VLE) software such as Blackboard or Moodle.
