You will have experience in at least one of the following areas:

Mechanics, Fracture Mechanics and Fatigue
Dynamics of Mechanical Systems/ Drive Trains
Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Combustion.

Experience in developing new assessment/modelling methods; engineering and embedding new innovative approaches to understanding the fundamental physics of the use/application would be beneficial. The application of AI in application and interpretation of data associated with any of these research areas would be advantageous.

You will have the ability to develop and deliver new research initiatives and knowledge exchange activities, and an ability to effectively teach at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. You will be ambitious and enthusiastic about cross-disciplinary working and be able to work independently and as part of a team, supporting others and leading teams, when required.
