We promote excellence by creating an inclusive culture and environment where shared practice is the norm.

We pool our resources and our networks, within the university, the UK and across the world, to drive innovation and creativity for a healthy planet and society.

To complement this team, we seek an excellent researcher and educator. Our primary criteria are excellence in research and teaching and commitment to our ethos of creativity and collegiality. You will benefit from access to excellent research groups and facilities.


As a School of Engineering that strives to provide an outstanding educational experience, rooted in strong engineering disciplines, this position provides a significant opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration, within a successful and supportive environment.

We have invested £110m in a state-of-the-art hub for engineering research and education.

The new Stephenson Building complex, that will open its doors in September 2023, will co-locate industry partners and provide business and community engagement facilities.

The School of Engineering is home to 15 outstanding research groups. The quality of our research is evidenced by the latest REF results. We were ranked 10th for the quality of our research outputs with 46% of outputs assessed as world-leading.

You will benefit from a thriving environment in machine learning/AI.
