Lecturer in Materials Science and Engineering (Teaching and Research or Teaching and Scholarship)The University of Leeds and Southwest Jiaotong University have established the SWJTU – Leeds Joint School at the SWJTU campus in Chengdu, China. Having delivered 4 undergraduate taught programmes successfully (in Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering with Transport and Computer Science), both universities now wish to grow the Joint School to deliver further Undergraduate, Masters and PhD programmes, and establish a thriving research and student exchange community. A new undergraduate programme in Materials Science and Engineering will be launched in September 2023. We are looking to recruit two enthusiastic and motivated individuals with interests in teaching with research or scholarship, and disciplinary expertise in Materials Science and Engineering. We are looking for the knowledge, experience and creativity needed to apply innovative modes of course delivery both online and offline in Chengdu, China. If you are interested in research, you will also be looking to build your research career internationally, exploring relationships and partnerships in Chengdu with a view to developing a collaborative research portfolio. To achieve this, you will work full-time in Chengdu over approximately 2 teaching semesters per year (approximately 20 weeks). As well as delivering your course material, this extended stay in Chengdu will allow you to develop your scholarship or research ideas and the strong relationships you’ll need to start international collaborations, feeding this through into your teaching practice and improving the student experience. With this ability to collaborate effectively and to motivate and inspire learners, you will become a valued academic member of the SWJTU – Leeds Joint School, where you will create and lead innovation in education and research and help introduce new forms of learning.
