Candidates should have an excellent track record in research, a strong commitment to teaching and the potential to form internationally leading independent research activities in any related areas of research, but particularly:
• Resource Efficiency: one of the appointments will have a research focus in this area, following the recent award of an EPSRC Programme Grant on this topic in the department.
• Whole Systems Analysis of Risk: across the Infrastructure sector, engineers have to operate within an increasingly complex set of constraints and uncertainties where adaptation planning is increasingly essential.
• International Development: the MPhil programme in Engineering for Sustainable Development has a strong international focus, which creates demand for related teaching and creates opportunity for innovative research. Many current opportunities have been created through the Global Challenges Research programmes supporting low income countries
Successful candidates are likely to have a strong interest in inter-disciplinary working, across the integrated department of Engineering, and with other departments in the University. Specifically, candidates with experience of using social science methodologies in an engineering context could be of particular value.
The successful candidates will take up their appointments on 1 January 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.
