Sheffield, United Kingdom University of Sheffield Full time

Chemical and Biological Engineering is a thriving department within one of the UKs top Faculties of
Engineering. We have a vibrant research culture spanning Materials and Products, Biological
Engineering, Sustainability, and Processes and Systems themes. The Department has 34 academics,
35 researchers, 16 technical staff, 16 professional support staff and 183 PhD students. We are
experiencing an exciting period of growth and diversification in both research and teaching with
£3.5m of investment in new facilities and £21m research income in last five years.
CBE is a major contributor to tackling the key challenges of this century - climate change, energy
poverty, affordable medicines, sustainable agriculture and water use, safety, and green
manufacturing. We boast a rich environment for learning which prepares students to be 21st century
scientists and engineers, and our disciplines span biological engineering, processes and systems,
materials and products and sustainability.

Our world class research environment is ranked number 1 by the Research Excellence Framework
2014. Our internationally renowned research is supported through funding from government and
industrial sources in the UK and the rest of the globe. We have recently introduced a new BEng/MEng
curriculum which is taught in the £85m world class Diamond Facility using a dedicated cutting edge
Pilot Plant (DiPP). The Department is the UK market leader in MSc programmes in Environmental
and Energy Engineering, Biological and Bioprocess Engineering and Process Safety with new
programmes in Brewing and Pharmaceutical Engineering planned.

The department is proud to have held an Athena Swan Silver Award continuously from 2013 and two
gold awards for Green Impact.
