We value research and teaching excellence and the willingness to support others and work as a team. Our research has global impact and we are continuing to invest significantly in cutting edge equipment to further bolster our state-of-the-art laboratories, having doubled our industry research income in the past 4 years.  We are committed to delivering an outstanding student experience and were ranked 3rd in the UK for Civil Engineering in the Guardian League Table 2024.  In addition to our strong core undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, we have an innovative range of flexible learning programmes, including an excellent Graduate Apprenticeship degree, popular part time/distance learning options at MSc level and flourishing education programmes with overseas partners.

You will demonstrate a track record of emotionally intelligent leadership and will be committed to supporting staff and students by ensuring they are given the opportunities and mechanisms necessary to develop and thrive.   The successful candidate will have a strong track record in research and have an active commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, thus helping to sustain our work in this area as reflected in our departmental Athena Swan Gold award for gender equality. You will have a flexible range of leadership skills to support our dynamic, multidisciplinary and friendly research environment, and to champion our innovative teaching practises that enable students from a wide range of backgrounds to flourish.

Applicants from any civil and environmental engineering aligned discipline are encouraged to apply. We particularly welcome candidates that can strengthen our research around Engineering for Net Zero, Engineering for Climatic and Non-Climatic hazards and Innovations in Structural Engineering.

You will be an internationally recognised academic leader with a relevant first degree and a PhD (or equivalent professional qualification), together with a substantial track record in research, teaching and knowledge exchange, including management and leadership roles.  You will be an excellent communicator, capable of inspiring staff and students and driving forward the Department’s ambitions and strategic aims across its full range of activities.

Appointment as Head of Department will be for a fixed-term period of 3 years initially and you will also be appointed to an open-ended substantive post in the Department at a senior level, in accordance with your qualifications, standing and experience.  An indication of what can be expected at the various levels of our Academic Professional staff categories of our Academic Professional staff categories can be found here: Career Pathways.
