The University welcomes applications for a permanent post across the Grade 7 Lecturer scale, within the School of Engineering in the area of Fusion Engineering. The School of Engineering at Manchester is a national and international centre for education in the engineering disciplines. Key research thematic priorities include Net Zero & Environmental Sustainability, Robotics, Autonomous Systems & AI, Digital Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing, and Engineering for Health and Engineering Materials. The University of Manchester and the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) are working together to help accelerate the country's progress toward Net Zero Carbon targets through the development of fusion energy. An agreement was signed by the two organisations in 2024 to kick start a major collaboration for the research and development of sustainable energy produced by fusion. Fusion is a very attractive alternative energy source that, when commercialised, will generate electricity without greenhouse gases - with abundant fuel supplies around the world. Fusion energy is an area of national and international priority and has been explicitly identified in the Government's Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution. This new collaboration complements and builds on The University of Manchester's long term strength in nuclear research, building important new research and training activities in Tritium Science & Technology and Digital Engineering. Through UKAEA, the UK Government has already committed to develop the STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) concept with the aim of building a power station based on the STEP design by 2040. This is an area where new research is required to address some of the significant challenges in realising STEP and will continue to be a focus of external investment. The University of Manchester is leading a new Fusion Engineering Centre for Doctoral Training that will train 150+ engineers for the STEP supply chain from September 2025. The new lecturer will join the Digital Engineering for Fusion Energy research group, one of six new high quality academic appointments in fusion at the University.
