Senior Lecturer in Aerospace Engineering

The School of Architecture, Computing & Engineering, manages a well-established portfolio of Engineering courses covering Mechanical Engineering, Motorsport & Automotive Engineering, Chemical Engineering Aerospace Engineering, Additive Layer Manufacturing, CNC Machining and Composite Compression Moulding. The department of engineering has an excellent academic record as a high value manufacturing hub, and we have collaboration partners across the country and worldwide.

Research in Engineering is carried out under four pillars – namely Additive Layer manufacturing, Composite Engineering, Energy and Green technologies and Process Engineering with emphases on cross pillar research. The department is seeking to appoint a motivated individual to contribute to the development of Aerospace Engineering, specifically:

• Expertise in aircraft design & systems
• Avionics
• Wind tunnel aerodynamics

Including research and teaching across the Engineering’s undergraduate and postgraduate courses. You must have a PhD degree in Engineering or a very closely related subject. You will be expected Membership of a professional body will be an advantage. You must have a good experience in all aspects of Aerospace Engineering. You will work with staff and students in the pursuit of research both as an individual and as part of the wider School and Faculty activities, encompassing complementary research areas by contributing to the work of established research groups. Hence, you should have a track record of dissemination of research outputs / achievements in high quality scientific/technical journals and have the potential to attract research funding and/or generate external income.

You will be delivering all aspects of aerospace engineering and will need to demonstrate the breadth of knowledge of the subject matter. You will be appointed either as a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer dependent on experience.
