Job Description
We are seeking a Senior Lecturer in Nuclear Engineering to join our team. As a leading academic, you will play a key role in teaching and research in nuclear engineering, particularly in nuclear thermal hydraulics, multi-physics modeling, and nuclear engineering design.
In this role, you will be responsible for developing an internationally recognized research program in nuclear engineering and making significant contributions to the School's and Faculty's educational programs.
Required Skills and Qualifications
* A PhD in a related discipline, such as nuclear engineering, thermal hydraulics, reactor physics, nuclear materials, reactor control systems, nuclear chemical processes, or nuclear engineering design and/or relevant work experience.
* Breadth of experience and/or proven ability to develop and deliver new content commensurate with ability to integrate key aspects of nuclear engineering (e.g. reactor physics, control systems, thermal hydraulics or others, depending on background) into a signature capstone education experience for small to medium sized classes of nuclear engineering students.
* Proven commitment to proactively keeping up to date with discipline knowledge and developments.
* Demonstrated experience in teaching and learning design using a range of pedagogical approaches, development and delivery of courses and programs, at undergraduate and/or postgraduate level.
* Experience of implementing educational technologies and online delivery methods.
