Set within The Bartlett Faculty, The Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources (BSEER) comprises four world-class institutes, providing expert knowledge, collaborative research, and teaching across the sustainability spectrum. Within BSEER, the Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering (IEDE) pursues a deeper understanding of the interactions between the built environment and health, human wellbeing, productivity, energy use and climate change. Our courses train students who want to make buildings, towns, and cities more sustainable, efficient, and healthier. We deliver interdisciplinary research on the built environment to improve health, well-being, and sustainability.

We are recruiting a Lecturer in Sustainable and Low-Carbon Building Technologies, with a focus on future building services engineering design and the dynamic performance simulation of complex, highly serviced buildings, particularly detailed HVAC modelling.

This lecturer will teach on our new integrated BSc/MEng in Sustainable Built Environments, Energy and Resources (SBEER), now in its third year. The programme trains a new generation of professionals who are equally strong in dynamic simulation, real-world practice, regulation, and building safety. In your teaching, you will use building performance simulation tools (e.g. EnergyPlus/DesignBuilder) and draw directly on your research and professional experience. You will guide students from simple baseline and compliance-driven models towards genuinely low-carbon, performance-focused design.

You will build on your research track record and further develop a research agenda in sustainable and low-carbon building technologies, with a particular focus on future building services engineering design and dynamic performance simulation of complex, highly serviced buildings.

UCL welcomes applications from international applicants and has licence to sponsor individuals who require a visa. This is dependent on the post and candidate meeting eligibility requirements for visa sponsorship under UK Visas and Immigration legislation.

You will have a PhD (or equivalent experience) in building services engineering, environmental design, energy systems, building performance simulation, mechanical engineering or a closely related field. You will have a track record of high-quality research in sustainable and low-carbon building technologies and/or building performance simulation of complex buildings. You will have a demonstrated expertise in dynamic performance simulation of complex, highly serviced buildings, with a research focus on building modelling and simulation. Additionally you will have experience of successfully teaching (e.g. designing, delivering or assessing) at undergraduate and/or postgraduate level, including supervising dissertations. You are Chartered or will be chartered with a relevant professional institution (e.g. CEng with CIBSE or similar) or clearly eligible and motivated to obtain CEng status in the near term, meeting ECUK expectations for accreditation.

As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits, some of which are below:
