About us
Recently re-founded, the Department of Engineering is rapidly expanding into a world-class research and teaching department. Research currently focuses on robotics, telecommunications and biomedical engineering, but we are looking to establish new research themes.
We offer both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, with a distinctive approach, combining both traditional teaching methods with modern, project-based learning, catering for the needs of our students and the industries in which they will work.
As a new department we have invested in new laboratories and maker space at the centre of the Strand campus in the heart of central London.
The RA will work together with several academics in the Department of Engineering at King’s and across several divisions at the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA).
The RA will play a crucial role in building a strong, long-term relationship between King’s and UKAEA, leveraging King’s significant areas of expertise directly related to the challenges faced by UKAEA.
The RA’s tasks will include liaising with UKAEA contacts and facilitating communication between UKAEA and King’s personnel. They will arrange meetings/workshops at UKAEA and King’s, including a facilitated roadmapping exercise. They will prepare project documents, including roadmap and strategy documents. They will also identify relevant funding sources and calls, and work together with the project team to prepare funding applications related to these funding opportunities.
The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post.
This is a part-time post (20 Hours per week), and you will be offered a fixed term contract for nine months from the start date.
