About this role
We are seeking to appoint a permanent post as a Lecturer in Civil and Environmental Engineering, to contribute and support the development of Teaching & Learning, Research, and Knowledge Exchange within the School of Engineering at UWE Bristol.
This role is offered as a full-time appointment (100%) and presents a fantastic opportunity for a candidate with a background in Civil and Environmental engineering and associated areas. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and delivering both fundamental knowledge and innovative engineering content in Civil and Environmental engineering, and Computational Fluid Dynamics, providing mentorship to students, and contributing to research initiatives.
We are particularly interested in candidates who engage in research to influence cutting edge practice and contribute to the Research Excellence Framework (REF), in the areas of Civil and Environmental Engineering; Infrastructures for the Climate Emergency; Hydrology; Water Sustainability; Waste Management; Sustainable Cities; Net Zero Carbon Design; Computational Modelling and Simulation; and/or Smart and Sustainable Infrastructures.
We also value candidates who not only possess a strong academic background but also have practical experience in relevant industries in the net-zero transition technologies and digital transformation that can help develop students across our engineering programmes such as Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Automotive, Robotics, and Mechatronics Engineering.
Furthermore, teaching responsibilities span undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral levels, and include supervision of UG, PG projects and group projects, within the School of Engineering, with potential contributions to Continued Professional Development (CPD) courses.
