Role Overview
Do you have a track record of high‑quality research and a clear vision for developing your profile at an international level? Can you contribute to innovative research‑led teaching and support an excellent student experience across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes? Are you committed to working collaboratively, contributing to an inclusive and supportive School community, and engaging in active academic citizenship?
We are seeking to appoint a Lecturer (Grade 8) or Associate Professor (Grade 9) who will contribute to the School of Computer Science’s academic mission through research, teaching, and academic citizenship. We invite applications from those whose research would ideally bring advanced knowledge into our graduate teaching in High Performance Graphics & Games Engineering, which covers rendering, real-time rendering, modelling, animation, simulation, game engine development and foundational mathematics. Research in areas such as shape modelling, geometric and topological modelling, animation, motion processing, or procedural generation would therefore be of particular interest, but any area of Computer Graphics is of interest.
