Lecturer, Digital Engineering for Future Technologies x2

Role Description

Department

The School of Physics, Engineering and Technology brings physicists and engineers together to push the frontiers of knowledge, foster innovation and meet the grand challenges facing society. Our aim is to deliver world-leading research in both fundamental and applied areas whilst developing new technologies that work for the public good, in an environment where everyone can thrive.

As a School, equality, diversity, and inclusion are central to our culture and we strive to provide a working environment which allows all staff and students to contribute fully, to flourish, and to excel. We aim to ensure that there is a supportive and egalitarian culture at all levels and across all staff groups and offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, staff engagement forums, campus facilities and services to support staff from different backgrounds. We are proud to hold Juno Champion and Athena Swan bronze awards, which recognise our commitment to creating an equitable and fully inclusive environment in which staff and students can thrive. We aim to inspire young people to engage with science and engineering through our outreach work.

In line with the School’s plans for strategic expansion, we are growing our research and teaching activity in innovative approaches to Digital Engineering. To drive this new initiative, the University is offering a package of three positions at either Professor, or Lecturer role, depending on experience.

Role

The school is particularly interested in expertise in Data-Centric Engineering, AI, Digital Twins, High-Performance Computing, Complex Multi-Physics Model Development and Uncertainty Quantification, and how these could be integrated into future digital engineering to shorten the product development of engineering systems, especially for Fusion Energy Systems.

You will have evidence of developing an international research record and possess a clear vision across the area of digital engineering. You will enhance the School's research reputation, including supporting impact activities, in addition to designing, developing and delivering undergraduate and postgraduate teaching across a range of related subjects. Specifically, you will:

• Individually and collaboratively develop research projects and grant proposals, contributing to the School’s research outputs, outcomes and impact;
• Publish original research in appropriate journals or other relevant media, and attend international conferences to disseminate research results and for personal development;
• Design, develop and deliver teaching across a wide range of modules and within a particular programme or subject area;
• Supervise PhD and Masters students;
• Undertake a range of administrative and managerial responsibilities.

Skills, Experience & Qualification needed

You will have:

• PhD in relevant discipline, or equivalent experience;
• Expertise in digital engineering;
• Proven ability to contribute to high quality research which is publicly evidenced;
• Experience of practical applications of digital engineering;
• Ability to supervise the work of others including research students.

Interview date: TBC
