The University welcomes applications for permanent posts across the Grade 7 and Grade 8 Lecturer/Senior Lecturer scale, dependent on qualifications and experience, within the School of Engineering in areas relating to net zero energy transitions, low carbon and climate resilient infrastructure.

We expect world leading research and clear pathways to impact as well as substantial contribution to syllabus development at undergraduate and postgraduate level to train students who require new skills to deliver this grand societal transition globally. We expect successful candidates to bring understanding of relevant technical, policy, economic and social aspects of their research. We are interested to hear from early and mid-career academics with interests in any of the following areas:

  • Industrial decarbonisation
  • Energy networks (including heat)
  • Power systems, high voltage engineering and low carbon power generation
  • Energy infrastructure (including transport, water and electricity)
  • Smart grids
  • Power electronics, machines, drives and electrification of transport
  • Energy system transformation
  • Critical infrastructure (including flood defenses)
  • Electronic materials and photovoltaics
  • Retrofit and design in the context of a changing climate

Successful candidates will be considered across broad areas of expertise, including but not limited to electrical, mechanical and civil engineering, energy systems, techno-economics and related policy development.
