Applications are invited for a University Assistant/Associate Professorship in Civil Engineering at the University of Cambridge. The successful applicant will be based in the Civil Engineering Division and will contribute to research in priority thematic areas including Sustainable Infrastructure and Structural Mechanics. We are particularly interested in applicants with expertise in Structural Design, interpreted broadly. This may include novel methods for the design or understanding of traditional structures, the assessment, reuse or adaptation of existing structures, the development of innovative structural forms or topologies, new types of structures, or the use of new structural materials. The applicant will also be expected to catalyse research synergies across Civil Engineering and related disciplines.
The Department of Engineering is one of the few truly integrated engineering departments in the world and is the largest department in the University of Cambridge. It is also the largest department in Cambridge with many world‑class research contributions. The successful applicant will be expected to demonstrate the potential to build on this track record.
The successful applicant will be expected to provide innovative teaching in Civil Engineering, including structural analysis and design, by contributing to undergraduate and postgraduate taught courses, laboratory coursework, supervising undergraduate projects, examining and supervising postgraduate research students.
We particularly welcome applications from women and/or candidates from a BME background for this vacancy as they are currently under‑represented at this level in our department. The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society. The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
