Job abstract

The Division of Civil and Environmental Engineering is delighted to be recruiting as much as two new colleagues with a longtime an instructional profile specializing in any of the next areas: (i) Geotechnical Engineering for Offshore Renewable Power, (ii) Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, or (iii) Geotechnics for Local weather Change Resilience.  

The general mission of our Division is to resolve international challenges throughout the pure and constructed setting by way of world main schooling, analysis and innovation.  We give attention to interactions between the constructed setting and the pure world and recognise that civil and environmental engineering are essential to assembly the key challenges confronted by society; together with local weather change, financial restoration, rising inhabitants and urbanisation, conservation of pure assets, improvement of renewable vitality sources, sustainable transport, environmental high quality and infrastructure ageing and resilience.  The profitable candidate will be part of the Geotechnics Part , a dynamic geotechnical analysis group, with analysis and educating actions that concentrate on each basic and utilized points of soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, and engineering geology.

We’re particularly searching for colleagues with established tutorial profiles specializing in any of the next areas:

(i) Geotechnical Engineering for Offshore Renewable Power,

(ii) Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, or

(iii) Geotechnics for Local weather Change Resilience.  

Functions are due to this fact welcome from candidates with expertise that would embrace soil-structure interplay, improvement of quantitative floor fashions for predictive analyses in offshore environments, laboratory testing, discipline investigations or numerical modelling, or different expertise related to any of the three utility areas listed.  

Duties and tasks

You’ll plan, useful resource, and direct an unique and impacting analysis programme in Geotechnical Engineering with a give attention to offshore renewables, geotechnical earthquake engineering or local weather change resilience.

You’ll have the aptitude to conduct analysis tasks by yourself and to develop collaborative tasks, particularly with different members of the Division and Faculty.

You’ll be anticipated to:

• Formulate an unique and doubtlessly important programme of analysis and submit analysis proposals and funding bids to help it
