Lecturer in Power Systems Engineering

Here at Sheffield Hallam University we have an opportunity for a Lecturer within our Electrical Electronic and Future Technologies Subject Group to further enhance teaching and learning in the area of Power Systems Engineering.

For this post, we are looking for people with expertise in power systems, electrical machines, protection and smart grids dedicated to undergraduate and postgraduate students. We particularly welcome applicants with hands on experience to deliver machines laboratories, DIgSILENT training and power systems experiments embedding industrial and/or applied research applications. The exemplary list of modules is as follows

• Electrical power and machines
• Power engineering for apprenticeships
• Modern electric systems
• Supply and distribution

You will combine your technical expertise with the enthusiasm and ability to pass on your knowledge and experience by creating and delivering high-quality learning, teaching and assessment. As a university with a focus on applied learning and positive outcomes for our graduates, if you can bring relevant industrial experience to the role, this would be particularly welcome.

You will primarily deliver on the courses within the subject group covering electrical electronic, and power systems engineering however you will also be expected to contribute to other engineering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in the department and the delivery of degree apprenticeship courses.

The School of Engineering and Built Environment is home to over 100 academic staff, with students and their experience at the forefront of what we do. We place equal emphasis on teaching and research, be it subject or pedagogic research to transform lives.

The School is arranged into a number of subject groups responsible for developing and delivering their relevant subject areas and courses. We benefit from strong industry partners and work with a number of leading organisations including JCB, Kimberly Clark, AMEY Rail and Network Rail to provide applied learning opportunities for our students and jobs for our graduates. Our graduates perform well in the labour market with 89% in work or further study and 75 in highly skilled employment.

Here at Sheffield Hallam University we offer a diverse range of benefits and opportunities to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career in a supportive environment.

You will be contractually enrolled into the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS) – one of the largest and most generous defined benefit pension schemes in the country. 

If you are, or have been, a recent member of the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) directly prior to joining us, you can choose to opt out of the TPS and remain in the USS.

The University may be able to sponsor the employment of international applicants in this role; this will depend on a number of factors specific to the individual applicant.
