This appointment will strengthen the Department's research in the fast-growing area of Information Engineering. The successful candidate will conduct original research in the field of Information Engineering and its application. Applications are sought from across a diverse set of disciplines under the Information Engineering umbrella, including, for example, physics-informed machine learning and AI, computer vision, graphics, optimisation, networks, and robotics. We also welcome applications from candidates with a strong computational or experimental research background in Information Engineering in fields not explicitly listed, including those who innovate Information Engineering methods to impact other engineering disciplines.
The successful candidate will have a doctorate in information engineering or a cognate discipline. They will have a proven research track record, witnessed by peer reviewed publications and collaborations, and relevant teaching experience. They will have the ability to teach effectively, both at undergraduate and graduate levels, and have excellent interpersonal skills for undertaking tutorial teaching.
The successful candidate will be expected to take part in the teaching of undergraduate courses in the Department of Engineering Science, which may include lectures, taught classes, practical laboratories, and the supervision of undergraduate design and project work; and tutorial teaching and pastoral care of students in St Anne's College, where they will also be a trustee and will play a role in the governance, administration and academic life of the college. They will also be expected to contribute to the department's research portfolio in information engineering, obtaining external funding to enable development of a new and independent research program.
