Description :

The Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Bath is seeking to make an appointment at Lecturer level in Electrified Automotive Propulsion Systems. The candidate will be expected to lead high-impact research programmes, provide excellent postgraduate research supervision, and deliver high-quality teaching. The successful applicant will have the potential to pursue research in the electrified propulsion of passenger cars. A broader experience of the wider automotive propulsion landscape will be advantageous.

Ideally, we are looking for someone with expertise in Model Based Systems Engineering approaches leading to formal consideration of system level aspects of design, optimisation and validation. One of our key areas of activity has always been the development of new experimental and simulation techniques and these areas come together as the industry moves towards a more digital product development process. It is important for this appointment to help shape the development of new approaches, combining advanced simulation techniques with novel experimental approaches to design a faster, better product development toolchain. 

This new position will form part of the new £70m  Institute of Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (IAAPS) which is currently under construction and is intended to be one of the top three sites in the world for advanced propulsion systems research. It builds on 40 years of continuous propulsion research and education at the University including the new EPSRC Centre of Doctoral Training (CDT), which over the next five years will provide at least 86 fully funded studentships for a four year combined training and research programme leading to an MPhil and PhD. The current automotive propulsion research academic team has an excellent track record in delivering industry-relevant projects and has long-established collaborations with industrial partners. This new appointment is expected to benefit from, and contribute to, this strong industry partnership and will also have the freedom to explore fundamental research interests. This is an exciting opportunity to join an expanding research group which is receiving substantial investment from Government, the Automotive Industries and the University.

The applicant will be expected to contribute to the teaching of the current MSc in Automotive Engineering with Electric Propulsion as well as the design and delivery of a new suite of postgraduate courses which addresses the future technology directions of the automotive industries. 

Applicants must provide a CV and a two-page summary of their expertise and interests to deliver research and teaching in the areas outlined above.

The role is offered on a full-time basis (36.5 hours/week).
