Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering
Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering (Thermal Management / Electrical Machines)
Introducing a joint venture between The Grantham Institute for Climate Science and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, applications are invited for a new Lecturer or Senior Lecturer focussing on Thermal Management and Electrical Machines. A formal collaboration as part of the Vehicle Futures Hub (VFH), this position will spend three years establishing strong connections with The Grantham Institute and its collaborators, to enhance their actions on clean technology.
After the initial three years, the postholder will formally transfer to the Department of Mechanical Engineering to continue their Academic career.
The Vehicle Futures Hub (VFH) will respond to the global challenge of creating net zero transportation systems through the coordination of research activities across Imperial College from electrification to decarbonising fuel production, including road, rail, off-road, marine, and aviation, alongside creating sustainable supply chains and energy systems. Taking a systems engineering approach, the VFH will coordinate interdisciplinary teams and work with industry to solve problems together and deliver real world impact.
This post will be integral to the strategic goals of investing in research to transition to a sustainable zero-pollution economy. The VFH takes a systems engineering approach to the challenges facing transport, and this newly created post will stimulate the development of new programmes, generate new grant income and further the investment in research around climate change and environmental technologies, aligning with Imperial College’s four strategic themes in support of a Sustainable, Healthy, Smart, and Resilient society.
The postholder will be expected to have a clear interest in policy and societal engagement in relation to environmental science and will deliver teaching for Undergraduate and Masters-level courses, including as part of a college-wide elective undergraduate climate change module.
We are looking for someone passionate about making a difference in the world as part of a supportive collaborative team focussed on delivering results and contributing towards establishing a world leading research strategy in Thermal Management and Electrical Machines.
A strong desire to help train and inspire the next generation of engineering leaders, who will accelerate this transition from the front is essential.
