Applications are invited for the post of Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering within Aston University’s Department of Mechatronics and Biomedical Engineering. Successful candidates will be expected to be research active. We are particularly keen to hear from applicants with research interests on solid mechanics, and a well-established or developing reputation in structural analysis with expertise on the application of computer-aided design (CAD), mathematical modelling, finite element analysis (FEA), and structural optimisation. 

You should also demonstrate a student-centred teaching focus with experience and enthusiasm to lecture subjects related to CAD, FEA, and mathematical modelling to analyse deformation, stress, strain and failure mechanics, and related laboratory practices.

You must have a first degree and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline. We would also expect you to hold a formal teaching qualification such as a PGCHE and/or have achieved FHEA or above or be willing to achieve this once in post. It is desirable that you are familiar with a virtual learning environment (VLE) software such as Blackboard or Moodle.

As the successful applicant you will be expected to develop teaching materials, teach, and assess students using a variety of formats including lectures and tutorials for the whole class and individual projects. An effective and evidenced track record in learning and teaching using these modes is essential as is a record of positive student feedback. 

In addition, you will be expected to be play a key role in the operation of the Department including acting as personal tutor to students, taking part in open days, and helping with outreach activities. Where appropriate, there will also be opportunity for involvement in, or leadership of, key operational areas.
