We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
We invite applications for an Assistant or Associate Professor position in the field of Power Electronics. The post is on the Research and Teaching Pathway.
The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong research portfolio in power converter design, modelling, hardware realisation, and control, with relevance to electrification challenges such as renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and/or sustainable transport. Experience with wide bandgap semiconductors and their deployment in advanced converter architectures is particularly desirable.
The successful applicant is expected to pursue research that makes fundamental contributions to their field, while also addressing real-world, industrial challenges with practical relevance – potentially working across disciplines. Applicants should demonstrate how their work complements existing power electronics activities within the School, or brings new and strategically aligned research directions.
Consideration will also be given to alignment with the University’s Research Technology Platforms and established research infrastructure. We are especially interested in candidates whose work can leverage or contribute to the School’s collaborative, translational, and industrially engaged research environment.
Candidates will be expected to teach to the highest quality on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by the School of Engineering.
You will have a PhD in a relevant discipline. For an Assistant Professor appointment, you must be able to demonstrate the capability to establish an independent research activity, which has the ambition and potential to become internationally leading.
If appointed as an Assistant Professor, you will be appointed for a probationary period (usually five years) during which you will be given a reduced teaching and administration load to enable you to establish your research group. Successful completion of probation will coincide with promotion to a permanent Associate Professor position. For an Associate Professor appointment, you will have already established a high-quality independent research activity and have been awarded substantial research funding from external sources, while having experience in successful delivery of teaching activities.
At either level, you will initiate, develop and deliver high quality research, publish top-tier journal papers and demonstrate the potential for impact from your research. You will also engage with higher education pedagogy and be willing to develop novel teaching methods, embracing changes in teaching technology and expectations.
