Lecturer/senior Lecturer in Spacecraft Engineering

The Department of Aeronautics wishes to appoint a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer (Assistant/Associate Professor) in the area of Spacecraft Engineering. We expect the successful candidate to be an enthusiastic teacher and outstanding researcher who will help maintain our high levels of scholarship and research.

The department is very active in a range of research aimed at developing and applying theoretical, computational and experimental techniques to address the most challenging, fundamental problems in Aeronautics science and technology with the aim of reducing emissions, noise and weight of the next generation of aircraft. Recently, the department has initiated the establishment of a research network within the College focused on the theme of Green Aviation. The department is now intending to further grow its expertise in space research.

However, exceptional applicants specialising in other areas of space research will also be considered. The potential to make milestone contributions is of the greatest importance.

Applicants should hold a PhD (or equivalent) in Engineering, Mathematics or Physics. They should also have an outstanding research record, as demonstrated by their publications, a good track record in securing research grants and contracts and experience of teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level in the Aeronautics field.
