Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Aerospace Engineering (Teaching & Research)

About the Role

The School of Engineering & Materials Science is home to the Centre for Intelligent Transport (CIT), which combines strengths in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, Power Systems, Robotics and AI, Digital Design and Manufacturing, and Advanced Materials to drive future transport and mobility technologies that better our world. Research focuses on various scientific and engineering problems relevant to future transport systems and spans from Green Propulsion, Robotics, and Autonomous vehicles to Future Mobility with Environmental and Climate technologies, such as those which help reduce aircraft noise and emissions.  

Staff within the Centre for Intelligent Transport are active in delivering research-informed education for our students in these broad areas. The Centre collaborates extensively with leading research groups across the world and around the UK, contributing to high-impact communities such as the Vertical Lift Network and the UK Hypersonics Capability Development Framework. In REF2021, SEMS was ranked 7th overall and 2nd for the quality of our research outputs. 

We are looking for world-leading researchers in aerospace engineering to complement and expand our aerospace engineering research and teaching. We are particularly interested in staff whose research aligns with aerospace structures and design. 

About You

Applicants should have a proven track record of research achievement demonstrated through refereed journal publications, and at a minimum outstanding potential for research income generation, with a proven track record expected for a role at senior lecturer level. 

A commitment to high-quality student education is also essential, to develop, support and deliver on campus our taught programmes, particularly in the aerospace engineering area.

We particularly welcome applications from people who identify as women, Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic groups as these groups are underrepresented at this level at Queen Mary. 

About the School/Department/Institute/Project

This post is within the School of Engineering and Materials Science, a large School with over 100 academics. There are around 1700 undergraduate and taught postgraduate students and over 150 PhD students within our London operation, supported by an administrative and technical staff of around 45.
