An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Lecturer to join the School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics at UEA. Are you a high-calibre, research-excellent individual? Do you work in the fluid dynamics of multi-phase flow or fluid-structure interaction, ideally with both numerical and experimental interests? Does your work have biomedical, manufacturing or sustainable engineering applications? Are you able to develop engaging teaching materials in fluids engineering? Can you support growth in student numbers through advocacy for engineering and UEA?

  
You will receive support to develop your research profile, producing high quality proposals to secure external research funding and disseminate results through academic publications and conferences. You will be encouraged to work with local business to develop consultancy and research impact. Teaching is a key part of this role, and you will be mentored to deliver at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
