In a challenging time for the sector, this is a significant investment in our staff, who are absolutely crucial to the continued success of the University. We want to complement and enhance the excellent work our academic community is already doing and strengthen our organisation still further to ensure its long-term success.   

Transparency is important to us, and the recruitment process will focus on six research areas that are critical to our future objectives: 

• Artificial Intelligence  

• Digital Engineering and Transformation  

• Health and Wellbeing  

• Renewable Energy, Hydrogen Research, and Infrastructure  

• Sport and Society  

• Sustainability and Circular Economy 

We believe that bringing in new talent will complement the incredible work you are already doing and help us to reach new heights.  

If you know someone who leads or is part of a world-class team, or in a position to form one specialising in one of our key strategic areas, please share this exciting opportunity with them. We will be accepting expressions of interest on a constant basis, with specific application windows open throughout the recruitment cycle. Currently, we are looking to appoint Readers and Professors to join us.  

We encourage colleagues from across the University to make use of our advocacy toolkit – a suite of key messages and visual imagery to support our campaign and help us to reach your peers and wider networks via your professional/ social channels.
