Job description

Overview

We are particularly interested in candidates who are strong communicators and work well with both students and staff, in addition to displaying potential for research excellence. The department is seeking to improve internal collaboration and build up critical mass within research themes, which requires skills to work effectively within teams.

City St George's, University of London is the University of business, practice and the professions and brings together the expertise and excellence of City, University of London and St George's, University of London into one institution.

The combined university is one of the largest suppliers of the health workforce in the capital, as well as one of the largest higher education destinations for London students. Combining a breadth of disciplines across health, business, law, creativity, communications, science and technology, we are creating a 'health powerhouse' for students, researchers, the NHS and partners in uniting a world-leading specialist health university.

We are now one of the UK's largest health educators, where staff and students have access to an expanded team of brilliant academic and professional services colleagues, combined resources and facilities and more interdisciplinary opportunities.

The merger creates opportunities to generate significant change in the world of healthcare including changes to treatment, population health monitoring, workforce development and leadership, policy, and advocacy.

The Department of Engineering has a history of pioneering engineering at the heart of the city of London. The department is multidisciplinary with both research and teaching interests spanning the areas of aerospace, mechanical, electrical & electronic, civil and biomedical engineering. Currently the department has approximately 70 academic staff and over 1500 students. The department has extensive physical and digital facilities that support teaching and research across all our discipline areas.

The department is recruiting multiple academic positions across the range of our engineering interests. The positions require alignment to our key research themes around aerospace and other transport systems, healthcare, civil infrastructure and energy. We have also identified strengths in computational engineering and intelligent systems, with core competencies in autonomous systems, sensing and instrumentation, which bridge across multiple themes. Candidates should carefully justify how they will align to one or more of these themes.

Our teaching is recognized as nationally leading, particularly with the added value we provide to our students through extensive support and extra-curricular activities in addition to formal studies.

The roles are expected to support potential for world-leading research and candidates should also be passionate in delivering teaching to undergraduate and postgraduate students. The current team is small but significant opportunities exist in collaboration, particularly with legacy St. Georges, their medical school and other health areas within City St. Georges as an institutional priority.

The position advertised should align to either medical device development, including sensing and instrumentation, or biomechanics, which is broad and we welcome candidates from both solid mechanics, fluid mechanics and solid-fluid interactions.

City St George's offers a sector-leading salary, pension scheme and benefits including a comprehensive package of staff training and development.
