Cranfield University -School of Engineering, Dept of Automotive Engineering, Automotive Mechatronics Centre
£39,163 to £65,173 per annum
We are one of the leading UK institutions for research into Hybrid Vehicle Powertrain Modelling and Controls.
The role of Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Alternative Powertrain and Energy Optimisation will require that you allocate 50% of your time towards business development of high value projects, industrial collaboration and capability growth of the Automotive Mechatronics Group. Working in collaboration with other leading academic and industrial partners, you will be expected to develop and publish novel work on the advanced power and energy management systems as well as alternative powertrain architectures and concepts.
For the remaining 50% of your time you will be expected to contribute to the departments existing teaching and research activities as well as managing the introduction of new courses and fostering new research opportunities in this field.
Your background will ideally include research and industry experience in power and energy management, ideally related to the low carbon automotive sector. You will have a postgraduate qualification to PhD level, be self-motivated, innovative and enthusiastic, with excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will have worked on hybrid vehicle powertrains, energy storage systems and preferably be experienced in the automotive engineering arena. In return, you will join a successful multidisciplinary team, be given the opportunity to present your work at international conferences and have the chance to develop your academic career.

Working Context
Cranfield University has a well-established track record in powertrain control and optimisation. In recent years this has expanded to encompass new, innovative hybrid vehicle and electric vehicle powertrain architectures, subsystems and components.
The Department of Automotive Engineering has access to state-of-the-art computing and experimental facilities to support both research and teaching within this field.
The position is to be part funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) through the “Low Carbon Vehicle” Program Grant. The scope of this research includes hybrid vehicle modelling, optimisation and multivariable control design, simulation, Hardware In the Loop (HIL) development and testing and on-vehicle testing and calibration work.
