Jobs
The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is an inspiring, collegiate and inclusive community of academic staff, researchers and professional services staff and we're looking for excellent new staff to join us.
Introduction from the Head of School
“Our school has been at the forefront of engineering since 1917. Over the last few decades we have built our reputation as world leaders in the areas of electromagnetics, semiconductors and communications. We also pride ourselves on having one of the largest engineering communities on control, automation and robotics in Europe.
The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering belongs to the prestigious Faculty of Engineering, which is one of the largest academic communities of engineers in the UK, ranked joint 1st in the UK for Research Environment in the last Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021). Our specific discipline is also ranked very highly, which is a marker of our excellence and ambition (QS 2024: 11th in UK, The Guardian 2024: 3rd, The Times Higher 2024: 7th in the UK).
We are home to several national institutes and centres (e.g. National Epitaxy Facility, The National 6G Radio Systems Facility, Rolls-Royce Control, Monitoring and Systems Engineering University Technology Centre) and we strive to conduct fundamental research and innovation to address global challenges, as well as support the education of the next generation of engineers.
We endeavour to provide a research-led, student centred learning experience, thereby giving all students the opportunity to realise their full potential, both during their degree and throughout their lives as potential engineering leaders who will make a positive impact on society and the world we live in.”

I started my job in January 2020, just two months before the Covid-19 lockdown. My colleagues have been most welcoming and helped me settle into the new environment in these unprecedented circumstances. I have had many opportunities to contribute to the operations of the school, while at the same time being able to progress my research and teaching. The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is friendly and one can easily find their place.

Professor of Medical Robotics
There is a supportive culture amongst colleagues and from my experience, all staff will give others the time of day and are interested in their viewpoints. I also really appreciate the flexibility that the University offers to staff, balancing home life with work can be tricky, especially with young children. Having options for both hybrid and flexible working means that I can be present for my family without having to make major compromises or changes to my role and career.
