The School of Engineering is seeking to appoint a new Professor of Civil Engineering to take a leading role in carrying out research of internationally leading quality. We welcome applications from candidates whose research area is in resilient, reliable and sustainable infrastructure (buildings, transport, tunnelling and underground space, water, energy and waste utilities), or, material efficiency, or digital innovation (manufacturing for construction, artificial intelligence, IoT and machine learning) in civil engineering. We welcome appointees whose research is targeted at impact related to the Climate Emergency. You will lead major collaborative research activities with other institutions or bodies to bring significant benefit and impact to the University’s national and international standing. You will teach and lead on the development, management and delivery of courses within Civil and Environmental Engineering, including those at undergraduate (conventional and degree apprenticeship), postgraduate and continuing professional development levels. You will engage in professional development in relation to teaching, learning and assessment, related to academic, institutional and/or other professional practices, and will contribute leadership/management to other activities (including administration) that will influence and shape outputs and strategies within the School of Engineering, the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine and the University.
The School of Engineering is looking for candidates who hold a PhD level qualification or equivalent in a field associated with your research area, along with substantial experience and track record of research, teaching and administration at a major university or equivalent. A major academic and/or professional track record in an appropriate field, with evidence of extensive impact through peer-reviewed journals and/or other outcomes is essential.
