Position overview

The University of Canterbury (UC) invites applications for a continuing (permanent) Lecturer/Senior Lecturer position in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, with a focus on mechatronics engineering. This is an opportunity to contribute to UC's growing impact on the national and international mechatronics and technology sector, supported by strong research infrastructure and a collaborative departmental environment.

While the position is housed within the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the successful applicant will operate within the Mechatronics Engineering programme, delivered jointly with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and across the wider Faculty of Engineering. Mechatronics at UC is inherently interdisciplinary, and the appointee will be expected to collaborate with existing staff and contribute to initiatives within this rapidly advancing field.

Key responsibilities


	Work with and grow research in the mechatronics systems field within the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
	Contribute to the undergraduate (BE(Hons)) mechatronics and mechanical engineering programmes by teaching design, dynamics, and control-related courses, using project-based teaching methods where appropriate.
	Cultivate strong partnerships with industry, public research organisations, and other relevant national and international stakeholders.
	Mentor and guide students, fostering the development of future professionals in the mechatronics and technology industries.


Mōu - Who you are

We are looking for a passionate person who can contribute to the department's growth and UC's vision of being a leader in engineering research and education.

The successful applicant will have a strong research record in sensors, robotics, and automation, with a focus on primary sector applications such as agricultural technology and precision farming. Sound research experience in other compatible areas of mechatronics will also be carefully considered, including biomedical engineering, aerospace engineering, soft robotics, autonomous/unmanned systems, and sensor networks.

Preference will be given to those with industry experience. We are seeking someone with either a strong and credible pathway to developing an extensive industry network, or an established network of industry partners that can be further developed.

We are looking for enthusiasm for student learning and a positive attitude towards developing effective teaching methods. Previous teaching experience is preferred, including experience coordinating larger classes. A demonstrated commitment to equity and inclusivity, including supporting the success of women and underrepresented groups in STEM, is essential. We also welcome an open-minded viewpoint and a genuine commitment to embracing the University's dedication to Aotearoa New Zealand's bicultural heritage and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

To be successful in this role, you will hold a PhD in Engineering or a related field, although we will also consider those yet to graduate from their doctoral studies. We welcome applications across the Lecturer to Senior Lecturer academic levels, with skills and experience assessed against the expectations for each rank below.

At Lecturer rank you will have:


	An emerging research programme, with initial publications in relevant journals/conferences and a clear plan for building a research trajectory.
	Willingness and capacity to contribute to funded research and industry-linked projects, typically as part of a team rather than in a leading role.
	Sound, developing teaching ability across undergraduate mechatronics/mechanical engineering courses.
	Supervision of Honours projects and developing Masters/PhD supervision capability through co-supervision.
	Participation in departmental service and student engagement activities, with a willingness to contribute to degree programme development as required.


At Senior Lecturer rank you will have:


	An active and developing research programme with a growing publication record and emerging national profile.
	Ability to contribute to externally funded research and industry-linked projects.
