Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering (CAE18-04)

The Department of Design and Engineering at Staffordshire University is pleased to announce the recruitment of a full-time Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering with specialism in fluid mechanics and FEA/CFD to join our recently established department within the School of Creative Arts and Engineering. This recruitment is central to our ambitious expansion plans and hence helping us deliver against the University’s vision and beyond. 

Engineering at Staffordshire University has a well-established reputation for providing an innovative portfolio which includes Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Higher and Degree Apprenticeships and commercial courses. We wish to complement our existing, experienced and very successful academic team with a suitably experienced, enthusiastic and motivated candidate seeking to further their career in Higher Education.

As an established Lecturer/Senior Lecturer and subject expert in mechanical engineering with specialism in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics and general-purpose simulation software package such as ANSYS, you will be expected to contribute to the University’s research outputs in one or more of the following subject areas such as: aerospace, automotive, the lived environment, renewable energy, and/or mechanical design and manufacture. Your expertise will be essential for the delivery and the development of our MSc in Mechanical Engineering award for which you will be the Course Leader (criteria for the Senior Lecturer post). You will teach and assess students across a range of levels and courses. We will also look for you to help shape our teaching and learning strategies to explicitly enhance the student experience through the use of digital technology.

You must be an enthusiastic, reliable and resourceful academic with ambition to undertake research, consultancy and income generating activities. You must be educated to doctoral or equivalent level professional qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, or allied subjects.
