Department: Electronic Engineering
Vacancy ID: 029181
Closing Date: 28-Jul-2024

Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary university goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued.

We seek an excellent academic to join our team as a Lecturer/Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering. The person appointed will have a proven teaching, research and publication record appropriate to the career stage.  Our department provides a collaborative environment that supports researchers to develop their academic careers further. We are committed to improving gender balance in science and engineering and are currently developing our Departmental Gender Action Plan for an Athena Swan Ireland Bronze Award.

This role seeks someone with expertise in areas related to the activities of the Centre for Ocean Energy Research, which include mathematical modelling, control systems, hydrodynamics and optimisation. In particular, applications will be welcome from those with experience in the ocean energy area. The appointee must fully contribute to the department's teaching programmes. S/he may be assigned teaching duties related to dynamics, control and optimisation, and fundamental topics in electronic engineering, such as mathematics or software engineering.

The candidate will contribute to the department's teaching programmes at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. One of our core pedagogical practices is problem-based learning (PBL), which combines diverse teams and external partners to balance theory and practice in engineering education. Academics mentor the PBL teams and supervise final-year projects, MSc, and PhD students. Candidates desiring to develop new modules or programmes in bioengineering are encouraged to apply.

The appointee will be expected to build a research profile, sustain and conduct research, engage in scholarship of quality and substance and generate publications of an international standard. Additionally, s/he will, either as an individual or in collaboration with others, prepare research proposals to bid for competitive funding at a national and international level. Affiliation with one of the University's Research Institutes is typical, and this post aligns with the Centre for Ocean Energy Research (COER). COER has a strong international presence and legacy as a centre for excellence in ocean energy, particularly in control of wave energy systems.
