On the 1 August 2026, the University of Greenwich and the University of Kent will form a pioneering new multi‑university group called London and South‑East (LASE) University Group.

Through LASE we aim to deliver outstanding education, impactful research, and meaningful regional and global impact.

Based within the School of Engineering at the University of Greenwich, this role will contribute to the delivery, enhancement and future development of our Electrical and Electronic Engineering portfolio. Operating across campuses in Greenwich and Medway, the School provides a dynamic environment for teaching, research and enterprise, with this post primarily based at the Medway campus.

The role offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to high‑quality teaching, applied research and enterprise activity across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, while helping to shape an innovative and industry‑relevant learning environment. The successful candidate will contribute across the School of Engineering, while playing a key role within Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

We are particularly interested in applicants who can combine strong theoretical knowledge with practical expertise, including the design and delivery of laboratory‑based teaching and hands‑on learning activities. Expertise in PLCs and automation would be especially valuable, particularly in relation to the use and continued development of our new Siemens PLC laboratory.

The post holder will also be expected to contribute to the School’s wider ambitions in student experience, external engagement and applied research, and to support its broader strategic aims, including ensuring that programmes continue to meet the requirements of relevant PSRBs.

We are seeking a committed and forward‑thinking academic with a strong background in teaching, research or professional practice in a relevant discipline. The successful candidate will bring sector‑informed insight and pedagogic innovation to enhance the student learning experience, contribute to the ongoing development of the curriculum, and support the School’s research and enterprise activities.

The role also requires an active contribution to the University’s performance in REF, TEF and KEF, together with a clear commitment to student satisfaction and success. A PhD in a relevant area, or equivalent professional experience, is essential. Experience of higher education teaching or industry‑led training, together with knowledge of professional standards and accreditation requirements, would be advantageous.
