Professor in Sustainable Engineering
The Institute for Sustainability (IfS) is recruiting two new professors to lead research in this exciting new research institute.
The IfS brings together transdisciplinary expertise in tackling the most pressing climate and sustainability issues facing society. To support our focus on Sustainable Chemical Technologies and Sustainable Systems in the Faculty of Engineering & Design we have two, new, and very exciting opportunities:
- Professor in Sustainable manufacturing and supply chains - our research in digitisation and sustainability has whole-life value at its core. Critical to this is linking manufacturing, system modelling, digital and net zero.
- Professor in Industrial Decarbonisation – critical to the future of the industry in the UK we need to decarbonise our industries, but more importantly make them sustainable and socially just. Focusing on circularity of processes and systems we seek to be smart with carbon – capturing it for reuse, understanding the impact of the circular economy over a wide range of resources, and creating new and innovative processes, materials and products.
You will have a strong research and education background in a relevant discipline, with a proven track record in growing a new area of scholarship. You will be an inspiring and innovative leader who can create, deliver and embed significant change solutions. You will have a record of attracting research funding to grow teams, and a record of disseminating high-quality publications world-wide.
These are permanent, full-time positions.
