Applications are invited for a permanent, full time Senior Lecturer in Nuclear Reactor Physics and Engineering (Teaching & Research) working
in the Nuclear Futures Institute (NFI), located in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Bangor University. Duties will include: Conducting research of an international standard in reactor physics, radiation transport and computational nuclear engineering, complementing the NFI's existing programmes in nuclear fuel, fusion, materials and radioactive waste. Building a research group within the NFI, including securing external research funding from research councils and industry. Supervising PhD students and postgraduate research projects, including within the Institute's doctoral training activities. Teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including a contribution to the General Engineering (MEng) undergraduate programme and the development of nuclear content within it. Developing and delivering modules in reactor physics, nuclear power engineering and computational reactor modelling. Candidates should be educated to PhD standard (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline e.g. nuclear engineering, physics, engineering or a related computational discipline, and have a record of lead authorship of research published in high quality peer reviewed journals, together with experience of teaching at higher education level. Expertise in computational reactor physics and experience of securing external research funding are essential. The successful candidate will be expected to commence no later than 1 May 2027, and earlier availability would be welcomed. This role will be located on campus at Bangor.
