Building on our strong interdisciplinary research in sustainable aviation, energy, and climate resilience, we’re seeking experts in the following focus areas:
Sustainable aviation
Advance net zero aviation research and support activity in the National Centre for Combustion Aerothermal Technology, involving both modelling and experimental approaches.
Cleaner propulsion technology
Help us strengthen our collaborations with industry partners to advance net zero propulsion, renewable and alternative fuels and sustainable powertrain systems.
Structural composites
Applications of structural composites in wind turbine technology, hydrogen storage, space exploration and defence, with a focus on sustainability through composite recycling.
Resilient built environments
Augment our expertise in low energy architecture and building services, including digital design, optimization and decision-making tools.
Sustainable manufacturing
Develop sustainable manufacturing technologies to support UK manufacturing industries in key areas such as hydrogen, defence, and nuclear engineering.
Sustainable fashion
Leverage our Design School’s expertise in circular fashion and sustainable textiles and innovative recycling of manufactured materials.
Who we’re looking for
Superstar researchers
Established and emerging research leaders with strong research outputs and funding success.
Exceptional research teams and interdisciplinary groups
Collaborative groups who can come together in a new institutional home.
Top postdoctoral researchers and early-career academics
Talented researchers seeking long-term career investment and stability.
Current opportunities
We are currently recruiting for Senior Lecturers and Lecturers across three focus areas.
If you missed our previous campaign for Professors and Readers, we’d still like to hear from if you have expertise in one of our three focus areas.
