The School of Engineering at Warwick seeks an enthusiastic individual to join its new and expanding Connected Systems Research Group as Assistant Professor (appointment at Associate Professor may be considered where appropriate). The research group brings together academics with interests in cyber-physical systems, optical networks, reconfigurable computing and communication systems theory. The group's academics are recognised internationally and have links with The Alan Turing Institute in London, offering the new academic an opportunity to expand their research network. Our academics also enjoy a long-standing relationship with the Department of Computer Science, and the appointee will be involved in the Computer Systems Engineering degree that we offer jointly.

You will have a PhD or equivalent qualification in computer, electrical and/or electronic engineering and a strong track record of high-quality publications in established IEEE and ACM journals and conferences or similar venues. You will have evidenced potential to provide leadership to a team of researchers, and to teach subjects related to computer engineering to undergraduate and postgraduate students.

For appointment at Associate Professor, you will have an international reputation, proven ability to generate external funding to support research projects with tangible impact, a track record of PhD supervision to completion in the areas of interest, and teaching and curriculum development/improvement in areas related to computer engineering and connected systems.

We welcome applications from candidates whose research area lies at the intersection of computation and communication with applications in areas such as cyber-physical systems, automotive, industrial Internet of Things. A research profile demonstrating clear tangible impact and practical outcomes is strongly preferred.

You will pursue independent research of internationally excellent standard as well as collaborate with colleagues within the Connected Systems Research Group to secure significant external funding through research grants or contracts to support a developing research agenda. You will publish the results of your research in top-tier peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
