Assistant or Associate Professor (Measurement or Precision Engineering) (107710-1224)

The School of Engineering is seeking to recruit a talented and enthusiastic Assistant Professor or Associate Professor on the traditional research and teaching pathway. We are looking for someone who can help us strengthen and broaden our research activities, while also contributing to our core teaching aims.

The research area for this appointment is Measurement or Precision Engineering. We hope to appoint someone with an experimental primary focus, although it is recognised that the appointee may also use simulation to support their own experimental work. Those with backgrounds in precision engineering, metrology, solid mechanics (including micro/nanomechanics), quantum techniques, measurement, instrumentation, and non-destructive testing are particularly encouraged to apply.

An applicant's research is expected to make contributions of a fundamental nature whilst also addressing a practical focus to an industrial or application sector which may be interdisciplinary. We are not seeking applicants whose main focus is fluids, thermal energy, energy storage (including batteries) or process engineering on this occasion. The appointee will complement existing activity in the School or establish new activity.

Consideration will be given to alignment with existing research facilities in the School and University, including those in the University's Research Technology Platforms.

Candidates will be expected to teach to the highest quality in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by the School of Engineering.
