School of Aeronautical, Automotive, Materials and Chemical Engineering
The Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering is looking to recruit a Lecturer in Intelligent / Autonomous Vehicles. AAE has identified autonomous vehicles as a strategic development area for growth in both aeronautical and automotive engineering and the creation of this post is a part of the department's long term investment in significantly expanding its already internationally leading research capability in this field. The successful candidate will strengthen and broaden the existing research activity and grow Loughborough's International reputation in this area. We are interested in applications of control, information and computer technologies in areas of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering that are critical to providing sustainable transport systems, reducing development costs, and increasing vehicle intelligence, whilst ensuring safety and reliability. We are also interested in candidates with the vision to expand the research into the growing areas of intelligent road and off road vehicles. The candidates will have expertise in one or more relevant fundamental disciplines that complement and add to our existing research capabilities. Candidates in other disciplines closely related to autonomous vehicles that can demonstrate synergy will also be considered.
Informal enquiries would be welcome and should be made to Professor Martin Passmore, Head of Department, Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering by email at m.a.passmore@lboro.ac.uk or by telephone on +44(0)1509 227250.
