The Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change (ISCC) at the University of Bath, alongside the Faculties of Science (Department of Chemistry) and Engineering & Design, is seeking a Lecturer to join the ISCC.
We are looking for someone whose track record demonstrates the potential for, or realisation of, internationally leading research in systems approaches to environmental impacts and sustainability of chemical technologies.
- You will be supported to develop an internationally leading independent research programme in the area of systems approaches to environmental impacts and sustainability of chemical technologies.
- You will develop content and teach the principles of sustainability/circular economy/LCA to both specialists and non-specialists, maintaining the University’s high standards in teaching and learning, and its inclusive and supportive learning environment.
- You will be supported to contribute at an appropriate level to the administration, leadership, and management of the Departments’ activities as the role develops.
- This role will sit within both the Department of Chemistry and an appropriate Engineering department, depending on the candidate’s background.
About you
The successful candidate will interact with and complement existing research within the Institute and more broadly within the Faculties of Science and Engineering & Design.
This position will be closely aligned with the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Sustainable Chemical Technologies: A Systems Approach (CSCT). Over the next 8 years the CDT will train around 70 PhD level scientists and engineers.
The position will sit within both the Department of Chemistry and an appropriate Engineering department but will be closely integrated in the wider CDT and ISCC.
At Bath we offer an exceptional environment for research, teaching and learning and we wish to support you in reaching your potential for internationally leading research.
The ISCC is building a community of researchers in the broad area of sustainability that crosses traditional boundaries – looking at fundamental sciences to whole-system approaches and manufacturing to social transformations linked to sustainability issues.
You will be willing and able to develop content and teach the principles of sustainability/circular economy/LCA to both specialists and non-specialists, and supervising CDT PhD students is vital for this position as well as the ability to work across disciplines.
You should hold a PhD and be able to demonstrate the potential to develop an internationally leading research programme, to acquire significant funding from UK and international sources, and to produce high quality publications.
Deadline: Sunday 15 December 2024
