Job Description

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 Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics.​​​​​​​

We seek to appoint candidates with potential to become world leaders in the domain of Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics, with a passion to make substantial contribution to exciting delivery and syllabus development at undergraduate and postgraduate level. We expect successful candidates to bring experience across a range of domains and are particularly keen to hear from those with experimental expertise. We are interested to hear from early and mid-career academics with interests in any of the following areas:

  • Low carbon energy applications including renewable energy generation, nuclear thermal hydraulics and energy storage;
  • Impact of climate change on sustainable infrastructure and resilience of the natural and built environment; including sea level rise, changing effects of wind, waves, rainfall, flooding, etc.;
  • Air flows in and around buildings, forces, ventilation, heating and cooling, especially in relation to climate change and sustainability;
  • Exploration of complex flow physics relevant to engineering; including heat transfer, flow-structure interaction, particle/debris and non-Newtonian flows.

The research of the successful candidate may be at the fundamental stage or more translationally focused towards applications, with an expectation to deliver world-leading research and clear pathways to impact.
