We have facilities based both on and off campus. We have our own building, named after Henry Dyer, a famous graduate of Strathclyde. It houses many of our teaching facilities, as well as our researchers and staff. Most of our experimental research is carried out at Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory, situated near the West of Scotland Science Park, a few miles from the main Strathclyde campus. Our yacht Catalina is based on the River Clyde at Rhu. It's available for both staff and students to use. We also have the Marine Engineering Laboratory which houses a diesel engine testbed in a soundproof cell.

The Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean, and Marine Engineering is seeking to appoint a Lecturer with a focus on Net-zero Maritime Systems Engineering to support our research commitments, knowledge exchange activities, and expanding teaching commitments both in Glasgow and overseas. To be considered for the role, you will have a PhD (or equivalent)in Maritime Systems Engineering or Maritime Technology discipline. You will have a strong track record of published research in high-quality publications commensurate to your career stage, as well as teaching experience. You will have research experience and interests consistent with the strategic direction of the Department. You will have excellent communication skills and a commitment to excellence in teaching at all levels.

The role will include periodic travel to China to deliver face-to-face teaching and related academic activities through a flying faculty model. Overseas delivery will normally be undertaken in short teaching blocks. At the time of appointment, this is expected to involve approximately 6 weeks of overseas activity per academic year, although the pattern and duration of travel may vary in line with programme, partnership, and operational requirements.
