Role Description

Cranfield is an exclusively postgraduate university that is a global leader for education and transformational research in technology and management.  We have four strategic priorities which are our primary focus over the next five years.

• To be recognised for outstanding transformational research that meets the needs of business, government and wider society.
• To grow an efficient, effective, and sustainable enterprise.
• To be renowned for our impact and influence – regionally, nationally and internationally.

The School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing (SATM) is a leading provider of postgraduate level engineering education, research and technology support to individuals and organisations. Aerospace is one of the major themes at Cranfield University and our capability is world-leading, offering a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates design, technology and management expertise.

Within the Centre for Autonomous and Cyber-Physical Systems, you will work closely with colleagues in the Space Group and wider academic staff of the Centre to support the strategic development of Cranfield’s space activity.  This involves providing excellent quality postgraduate teaching on our highly successful MSc in Astronautics and Space Engineering, and leading research to strengthen the Centre’s international reputation.

You will be educated to doctoral level in a relevant subject and have a PGCert or similar qualification in Higher Education, with experience of teaching and assessment.

Active research experience will be demonstrated with a proven track record of publishing in the research literature and winning research funding. Experience of teaching and examining engineering or physical science in HE is also required. You will be expected to show initiative in identifying research opportunities and preparing quality research proposals.
