The School of Engineering combines 3 academic disciplines: Mechanical and Marine Engineering; Civil and Coastal Engineering; and Navigation and Maritime Science. The School has an international research profile in marine robotics, offshore renewable energy, composites and metallic materials, and coastal engineering, with access to excellent research facilities. The University's GBP 19M marine building, which opened in 2012, houses exceptional marine testing facilities within the state of the art wave tanks and a new full mission ship bridge simulator. The University also operates a High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster to support numerical modelling and CFD applications. These facilities are further to others within the School and Faculty that include the Advanced Composites Manufacturing Centre, the Advanced Materials Characterisation and Electron Microscopy Centre, and a new Marine Station development. Engineering research within the School includes the following research groups: Autonomous Marine Systems, Materials and Structures, Composites Engineering, Engineering and Society, and Coastal, Ocean and Sediment Transport.Among the school's accredited undergraduate mechanical engineering programmes are BSc, BEng and MEng honours degrees in Marine Technology, Marine and Composites Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering with Composites, Mechanical Design and Manufacture. A new MSc in Advanced Engineering Design starts in 2017. Within the civil engineering programmes are BEng and MEng honours degrees in Civil Engineering and Civil and Coastal Engineering and MSc programmes in Civil Engineering and Coastal Engineering.Following the launch of the new School of Engineering at University of Plymouth, we are seeking to make three new appointments in Engineering. We invite applications for Professor, Associate Professor or lecturer across Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering disciplines. We are particularly interested in applications in the specific areas of research expertise listed below, but would also welcome applications more broadly across Engineering. You will be able to demonstrate an ability to identify and lead research into original areas of enquiry, and to enhance, complement and extend our present research expertise, where appropriate. Our current research ranges across civil engineering, structural engineering, coastal engineering, composite materials, mechanical engineering, marine engineering, marine renewable energy, advanced control systems engineering, industrial dynamics, autonomous marine robots and integrated navigation guidance systems. You will be joining a growing and enthusiastic team of researchers.Those applying at Professor level will join the Engineering team to invigorate our research profile across the core of Mechanical or Civil Engineering. You will have a proven track record of attracting significant research funding and be able to demonstrate strong potential to further develop effective research collaborations at national and international levels. Those applying at Associate Professor level will be applying join the Engineering team to teach across the core of Mechanical or Civil Engineering at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. You will have a proven track record of attracting research funding and you will also exhibit strong potential to further develop your research career through research collaborations at national and international levels. Those applying at Lecturer level will join the Engineering team to teach across the core of Mechanical or Civil Engineering at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. You will be joining a growing and enthusiastic team of researchers.Applications are invited from professional engineers and/or experienced lecturers, who can demonstrate a commitment and enthusiasm for innovation in higher education.You will be appointed to a job description within a range aligned with Plymouth's Academic Career Pathways, according to their knowledge, experience and skills in relation to the key accountabilities. Applicants will be asked to indicate a preference and to tailor their application to their preferred job description.We are also working with Berwick Partners currently, looking for a Head of School of Engineering who will be an exceptional academic leader to drive the School forward and be responsible for the delivery of local plans in response to Institutional strategy.
