Job Description:
Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering/Tribology/Surface Engineering
Are you passionate about research on surfaces, interfaces, and related topics in tribology or surface engineering? Do you have the vision and drive to tackle new engineering challenges related to surfaces and interfaces that underpin the dual transition in Green and Digital technologies? If so, the University of Leeds offers an exciting opportunity to join us as an Associate Professor in Tribology/Surface Engineering.
The Institute of Functional Surfaces (iFS) at the University of Leeds conducts interdisciplinary research in tribology, surface engineering, and corrosion and flow assurance, spanning from fundamental science to application and commercialization.
We seek an experienced researcher with a strong background and vision in areas such as Green Tribology, Novel Applications of Tribology, Sensing of Surface Integrity, Smart Coatings/Condition Monitoring, and Sustainability of Tribological Systems in Extreme Environments. The candidate should have a clear vision of how their research complements existing activities and enhances the institute's research excellence.
In this role, you will have access to advanced materials research infrastructure through the Functional Surfaces theme of the university’s Bragg Centre and opportunities to collaborate across disciplines. Teaching responsibilities include undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Mechanical, Aerospace, and Automotive engineering, along with supervising projects and contributing to professional development and knowledge transfer activities. You will also provide academic leadership to strengthen the school's international research and teaching reputation.
Flexible working arrangements are open for discussion.
