University of Southampton, School of Engineering Sciences. Lecturer in Ship Science and RCUK (Roberts) Fellow in Marine Structures or Hydrosciences
Vacancy:
As part of its strategic plan, the School of Engineering Sciences is seeking to make two appointments in the area of Ship Science and Maritime Engineering Sciences to support its research initiatives in Marine Structures and Hydrosciences.
The School of Engineering Sciences achieved the very best 5* in the last RAE (RAE 2001). A recent QAE audit also led to the highest rating of teaching quality. The staff in the School support teaching in Aeronautics and Astronautics, Mechanical Engineering, Ship Science and Maritime Engineering Sciences. Research is carried out in a range of disciplines covering Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics, Astronautics, Bioengineering, Computational Engineering and Design, Electromechanical Engineering, Engineering Materials and Surface Engineering, Energy Systems Technology, and Fluid Structure Interactions. Both posts will be based in the Fluid Structure Interactions Research Group.
The Lecturer will be will be expected to qualify for RAE2008, to conduct high quality, independent research and to develop externally-funded programmes to significantly expand the work currently carried out into the area of hydrosciences, linking theory to applications. The backgrounds of suitable candidates are likely to be in one of the following areas: hydrodynamics, ship motions, marine design, marine systems and operations, marine engineering and thermo-fluids, offshore renewable energy, offshore engineering and/or ocean engineering. The person will be expected to teach undergraduate and postgraduate modules across a range of modules on the popular BEng, MEng and MSc degree programmes, primarily in the Ship Science and Maritime Engineering Sciences themes which attract very highly qualified students.

The RCUK (Roberts) Fellow will undertake research in one of the subjects underpinning either in marine structures or in the emerging area of hydrosciences and to seek external funding for such work. The Fellow will also engage in some limited teaching in the Ship Science programmes and take part in outreach activities. The backgrounds of suitable candidates are likely to be in one of the following areas: marine systems, marine design, fluid structure interactions, control systems, structural mechanics, smart materials, marine pollution, biomimetics, wave power engineering, offshore wind engineering and marine environmental sciences. Subject to the successful completion of a probationary period and the successful candidate meeting the University's criteria for appointment to an academic post, the University will guarantee a permanent academic post after completion of the fellowship. Please quote reference number: 1131-07-E
