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 for you 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 across length scales and technology readiness levels, from fundamental science to application and commercialization in tribology, surface engineering, and corrosion and flow assurance.
We seek an experienced researcher at the level of Associate Professor to build research excellence in tackling global engineering challenges in surfaces and interfaces. Candidates with a strong research background and vision in Green Tribology, Novel Applications of Tribology, Sensing of Surface Integrity, Smart Coatings/Condition Monitoring, Sustainability of Tribological Systems in Extreme/Demanding Environments, or related areas are encouraged to apply. Your research should complement and enhance existing activities within the institute and the wider university.
You will have access to advanced materials research infrastructure through the Functional Surfaces theme of the University’s Bragg Centre and will have opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across the university. Teaching duties will include areas relevant to undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Mechanical, Aerospace, and Automotive engineering. You will be expected to supervise undergraduate and postgraduate projects, contribute to professional development and knowledge transfer activities, and provide academic leadership to strengthen the School of Mechanical Engineering’s international reputation.
We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
