Significant prior experience of low/zero carbon fuels and clean combustion modes in both thermodynamic and optical engines is essential. Candidates must also have a successful track record of multidisciplinary research with both industry and academic partners, with a willingness to work in new technical areas related to the programme.

Prior direct experience of successful PhD student co-supervision is desired. The successful candidate will be well organised and will have a positive attitude in working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders internally and externally, sometimes on challenging and complex multidisciplinary issues.
