Salary range: £42,149 - £47,419
FTE: 1 (35 hours/week)
Term: Open Contract
Closing date: 07 March 2022
As
a leading international technological university, the University of Strathclyde
is recognised for its world class research, knowledge exchange and educational
programmes. The Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering is one of the largest and most successful civil
engineering departments in Scotland with over 600 students, including 450
undergraduates, 100 taught postgraduates and almost 100 registered research
students. We have a strong commitment to widening access and inclusion while maintaining
academic quality and an outstanding student experience.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
(CEE), University of Strathclyde, is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in
Structural Engineering to strengthen our Centre for Intelligent Infrastructure
(CII). The CII is committed to transforming traditional structural engineering
through cross-cutting research that encompass nano-technologies, smart
materials and structures, computational mechanics, sensor and communication
technologies, structural health monitoring, asset management, system
engineering, risk analysis; all as applied to civil infrastructure. It has a key remit to drive structural
engineering innovation to help target Net-Zero. This is key as the construction
sector has an exceptionally heavy carbon footprint. This new post will enhance Strathclyde’s
research in structural engineering and support our aims to be key players in
the Net Zero mission and resilient infrastructure. The Centre has attracted
£2.5M in research income during the REF period.
Over the last few
years, the Department has seen considerable success in all aspects of academia
and we are ambitious to continue this upward trajectory. We are a young dynamic
department, with a reputation for having a friendly and active research culture
and a current population of around 70 PhD students. In REF 2014, we were ranked
1st in Scotland for research power (in the Times Higher Education
Supplement) and 8th in the UK. Our overall student satisfaction
score in the NSS was 90.5% in 2021. We
also have an exciting new International Joint Education Program (IJEP) with
Yunnan University in China (delivered in English language), and you may be
required to spend 2 – 4 weeks of the academic year teaching in China.
To be considered for the role you will have a good honours
degree and PhD (or significant professional experience) in a structural engineering
related discipline. You will have a track record of published research in high
quality publications commensurate to the academic grade (lecturer). You will
have research experience and interests consistent with the strategic direction
of the Department and the Centre for Intelligent Infrastructure. You will
have excellent communication skills and a commitment to excellence in teaching
at all levels.
The appointment is anticipated to begin ideally in June 2022, but later
start would also be considered.
Informal enquiries about the post
can be directed to Professor Vernon
Phoenix, Head of Department
(vernon.phoenix@strath.ac.uk)
or/and to Professor Edoardo Patelli, Head of the Centre for Intelligent
Infrastructure (Edoardo.patelli@strath.ac.uk).
