It has undergraduate degree programmes in Chemistry, Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering, with 1000 students in total. You will undertake teaching, research and administrative duties based at DLI. You will be responsible for the development and delivery of undergraduate teaching alongside colleagues based in the UK, who will make frequent trips to the DLI to teach. You will ensure the very best learning experience for the students, whilst supporting the DLI to enhance its international reputation.

About you

With a PhD in a relevant area, you should have a strong research track record in computational engineering. Previous experience in teaching would be an advantage. The teaching medium of the DLI is English so the ability to read and speak Chinese is not required but would be useful. We are looking for independent starters who have a passion for research and teaching, motivated by providing the very best experience to our students and becoming an internationally leading researcher in your field.
