Lecturer (ED13736)

The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Bath is seeking to appoint a lecturer in electronic engineering to deliver high-quality teaching and research in microelectronics and embedded systems design.

About the role

You will teach aspects of digital systems, microelectronics (including integrated circuit design) and embedded systems design in both lectures and computational classes, across all years of our undergraduate degrees in Electronic and Electrical Engineering and Computer Systems Engineering, with more specialised units in Advanced Microelectronics and Embedded Systems in the final years, maintaining the University’s high standards in teaching and learning, and its inclusive and supportive learning environment. 

You will develop an internationally leading independent research programme in microelectronics and embedded systems design. 

Your research should be aligned with one of the following research centres from the Faculty of Engineering and Design, Institute for the Augmented Human (IAH), Centre for Digital, Manufacturing & Design (The Foundry), Centre for Bioengineering & Biomedical Technologies (CBio).

You will be supported to contribute at an appropriate level to the administration, leadership, and management of the Department’s activities.
