Location: South Kensington and White City Campuses.

About the role:

The Department of Materials wishes to appoint up to four new colleagues to join its academic staff in strategic areas. This will be at the level of Lecturer, Senior Lecturer or Reader depending upon experience.

What you would be doing:

You will be expected to plan, direct and undertake the implementation of research activities and programmes of outstanding quality, international repute and innovation in the area of data-driven materials characterisation. This role focuses on leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) or comparable methods to transform the analysis of the large datasets produced by cutting-edge characterisation techniques both available within the department and at national facilities and may include elements of automation and self driving workflows, along with integration with other characterisation techniques to provide a multiscale, multiprobe view of advanced materials. We welcome applicants with expertise in AI-driven data interpretation and autonomous experimental strategies across all materials characterisation methods available in the Department.

You should hold a PhD (or equivalent) in the physical sciences, engineering, or a related discipline, as well as substantial, relevant postdoctoral experience. You will have (or have demonstrated a strong potential to develop) an international reputation, an outstanding publication record, evidence of securing research funding and an aptitude for inspiring undergraduate students.

The ideal candidate will possess a strong track record of research in the relevant discipline. You will also be expected to generate income from external sources to support their own research programme and to develop collaborative programmes with other academics within the Department, across other research centres and institutes across the College and other departments within the College.

Imperial College is committed to building a supportive, inclusive and highly motivated staff community, reflected in the Department of Materials and College receiving Silver Athena Swan awards.
