Engineering
About us
We are a vibrant, diverse Department that looks to lead innovation in education and research at one of the world’s leading universities.
About the role
We are seeking an outstanding academic to join us as Professor of Computer Engineering, providing leadership in forward-looking research and education at one of the UK’s leading engineering departments.
We encourage applications from candidates with an international research profile in one or more of the following areas: (i) future computing paradigms (e.g. neuromorphic, quantum, or unconventional computing); (ii) sustainable and energy-efficient computing; and (iii) secure and trustworthy hardware–software platforms for AI.
These themes complement our existing departmental strengths in ultra-low-power CMOS integrated circuits and systems, in-memory computation, signal processing, telecommunications, and semiconductor materials.
We particularly welcome applications from individuals from historically excluded groups.
Key responsibilities
- Establishing and leading an internationally recognised research programme in computer engineering in one or more of: (i) future computing paradigms (e.g. neuromorphic, quantum, or unconventional); (ii) sustainable and energy-efficient computing; or (iii) secure and trustworthy hardware–software platforms for AI.
- Developing and delivering high-calibre modules in computer engineering for undergraduate and postgraduate students, contributing to curriculum development.
- Actively pursuing external research funding from governmental funding bodies and industrial partners, building strong industry partnerships and collaborative projects.
- Leading undergraduate and postgraduate student projects within the Department of Engineering.
- Supervising PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, mentoring their development and supporting timely thesis completion.
- Contributing to the administrative duties within the department and/or faculty.
- Contributing in a positive manner to the culture within the Department of Engineering.
- Demonstrating a proven commitment to equality and diversity.
