Lecturer in Chemical Engineering (CARMA) (KK12779)
Join to apply for the Lecturer in Chemical Engineering (CARMA) (KK12779) role at University of Bath.
About The Role
We are seeking an outstanding and collaborative individual with a passion for both research and teaching to contribute to the continued success, operation, and development of Chemical Engineering at Bath. You will be integral to increasing our well-established research activities in future-focused technologies for sustainability and preparing the next generation to play a key role in achieving sustainable manufacturing through our highly rated undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses. Our degree courses in chemical engineering and environmental engineering prepare our students to tackle global challenges such as climate change and the delivery of sustainable water, energy, food, and wellbeing. The Department benefits from extensive national and international collaboration, excellent research and teaching facilities, and strong links with industry.
About You
We are looking for someone whose track record demonstrates the potential for, or realization of, internationally leading research in tissue engineering or precision fermentation applied to cellular agriculture manufacturing. The post-holder will become a member of CARMA, an EPSRC funded Sustainable Manufacturing Hub on Cellular Agriculture Manufacturing, which aims to transform food production towards an environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable model. Find out more here.
We particularly welcome candidates with expertise in tissue engineering or precision fermentation, especially in areas such as bioreactor design, in silico modelling of bioprocesses, interface and circularity between animal and microbial cultures, upstream-downstream interface, or cell line development for scaled production. Research on scaffolds, materials, techno-economic analysis, life cycle analysis, and downstream processing will be less competitive.
You will be a kind and culturally aware leader who fosters an environment where every individual is valued and respected, regardless of background or identity. You will understand that change is inevitable and necessary, actively encouraging your team to adapt and evolve. By promoting openness and inclusivity, you will create a dynamic and empowered team capable of thriving in today’s changing world.
We welcome both wet lab and in silico research activities, including AI and machine learning applications. You will be a member of one of the Faculty of Engineering & Design Research Centres and the Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change (ISCC). You will have access to PhD students in Sustainable Chemical Technologies.
