We have an exciting opportunity for a talented and ambitious individual with industry or academic experience to join our Aircraft Structures team, conducting teaching and research into novel aircraft configurations ranging from zero emissions hydrogen propulsion through to supersonic transport and eVTOL.

About the Centre

The Centre for Aeronautics traces its history back to 1946, when it was set the mission of preparing engineers to develop new products for the nascent British aerospace industry. We've been teaching aeronautics-related topics ever since, either through our world-class post graduate MSc courses, guiding our vibrant PhD contingent or through a range of CPD courses we deliver to industry professionals across the world. You'll be joining a 45 strong team of world class academics and research staff working across aircraft design, aerodynamics, dynamics and control, modelling and simulation, advanced lightweight structures and sustainable aviation. We take pride in supporting our students as they develop towards talented industrial professionals. Our large portfolio of research projects working with the worlds best-known aerospace companies produces world class research and keeps our academic content at the cutting edge.

About the Role

The Centre for Aeronautics is seeking a talented and ambitious individual to join the team as a Senior Lecturer in Aircraft Structural Design. The position will be mainly responsible for the development, leadership and delivery of high-quality teaching at postgraduate level in various topics related to aircraft structures analysis and design, for academic course management, for postgraduate student research and design project supervision as well as for engaging with the delivery of industrially sponsored projects.

About You

You will be passionate about aerospace and the contribution and value of your specialised topic within this field. The impacts of the aerospace industry and air travel will be important to you, and playing your role in driving progress towards zero emissions aviation will be a personal priority. Your ideal working environment will be collaborative and open to new learning and experience, with personal satisfaction taken in supporting others to grow their knowledge and skills through our teaching activities. Professionally you will be curious and creative, looking for new solutions and applying thinking from outside the traditional aerospace sector. You may already be an academic, looking for a more post-graduate teaching focussed opportunity; you may be an industry professional looking for new challenges and a refreshing new professional environment. All are welcomed within a friendly, supportive, ambitious and energetic team environment.

With a BSc/MSc in aeronautical science, preferably in airframe structural design & analysis, you will have experience of high impact, cross-disciplinary and industrially relevant project engagement, and be experienced in research delivery and be able to evidence successful funding proposal bidding. You will also have relevant teaching preparation & delivery experience, and ideally experience in research student supervision.

Your knowledge of aeronautical structural analysis and design skills, ideally accumulated at an industrial setting, will span across any combination of the following: airworthiness requirements knowledge and application; metallic and/or composite airframe structures analysis and design; fatigue and damage tolerance; and finite element analysis (NASTRAN / PATRAN / other).

With excellent communication and presentation skills, you will have a collaborative leadership style along with evidence of good project and time management skills.
