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 develop 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. We strive to provide an environment which allows all staff and students to contribute fully, to flourish, and to excel. We aim to ensure that there’s 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’re proud of our Juno Champion and Athena Swan awards which recognise our commitment to creating a fully inclusive and supportive environment. We aim to inspire the wider community to engage with science and engineering through our outreach work.
In line with the School’s plans for strategic expansion, we are growing our academic activity in innovative approaches to Digital Engineering. To drive this new initiative, the University is seeking to appoint a number of positions including this role at either a Professor or Reader level, depending on experience.
The Role
You will lead a group of academics in the broad area of development and deployment of digital engineering for future technologies. Research relevant to Fusion Energy would be useful, but not essential. We’re particularly interested in expertise in Data-Centric Engineering, AI, Digital Twins, High-Performance Computing, Complex Multi-Physics Model Development & Validation 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.
