The fundamentals of compute have changed little in the fifty years following the pioneering work of Turing, von Neumann, Eckert and Mauchly, but this is changing with dramatic speed. You will be at the forefront of this change. Specific areas that we would value, but are not limited to, include the synergy of new architectural models, programming languages, event-based architectures, reconfigurable architectures and hardware-software co-design. 

We welcome applications from established academics who currently hold an equivalent position or those who seek the opportunity to step up to a more senior role where they will be able to build a world class research team.

To be successful, you will have a PhD in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, a strong publication record, and able to demonstrate delivery of teaching in a manner that meaningfully engages students. It is essential that you have a track-record of innovative research within the umbrella of machine architecture and novel algorithm development and have a desire to create and build a strong research group with the support of the School, rooted equally in both Electronics and Computer Science. Research and practical experience should cover the spectrum of machine architecture and the hardware-software interface from digital logic up to programming languages, with a holistic understanding of how these interactions affect emerging research and educational needs. You will lead the machine architecture teaching on our degree programs, through curriculum development and management of teaching to ensure the modules meet the evolving needs of future engineering graduates.

Based in the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS). Ranked in the top 1% of universities globally and among the UK's top 20 for research, the University of Southampton has an international reputation for its research, teaching and enterprise activities.

We have a supportive culture that values research and education equally and therefore as well as undertaking research and building a team you will also participate in teaching and the management activities.
