Role Description
We welcome applications for this exciting permanent academic post from passionate Avionic specialists to join our highly successful Centre for Aeronautics Aircraft Design Group who want to make a significant impact in shaping, and the future direction, of our Centre’s portfolio of research, design and consultancy activities in the areas of avionic systems design and integration.
About the Role
You will be responsible for the development and delivery of high-quality teaching at postgraduate level in avionic systems design and integration and world leading research in areas of interest relevant to future aerospace industry requirements. Our academics are supported and encouraged to build their research teams and wider networks through successful research funding applications.

You will be educated to doctoral level in a relevant subject or have equivalent extensive industry experience. With a track record and solid experience of R&D related to Avionics design or systems together with evidence of collaborative working with other discipline specialists, you will also have the ability to develop business opportunities and attract income.
