Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering
Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering
Örebro University
Örebro, Sweden
Subject area
The subject area for this position is Mechanical Engineering.
Background
The unit for Mechanical Engineering is looking to hire a senior lecturer with expertise in mechanical engineering, with a focus on numerical or logical modelling in a production development context.
Duties and responsibilities
At Örebro University, a senior lecturer is expected to spend their working hours on teaching at all levels, research, and any associated public engagement activities. In addition to teaching, research and collaboration, duties and responsibilities include development work, administration and continuing professional development. Moreover, teaching encompasses supervision, examination, course development, planning and evaluation.
The candidate is expected to carry out teaching and research in the areas of system risk and reliability modelling and digital twin simulation modelling which seek to answer global sustainability challenges and deliver real-world impact. The successful candidate will contribute to the design and delivery of teaching materials related to analysis of the availability and maintenance of complex engineering systems. Research duties involve collaborating with industrial and academic partners to develop state-of-the-art digital twin models and related concepts, ideally from a system-of-systems perspective.
The candidate should have a mechanical engineering or computer engineering background and have experience in for example discrete event simulation (DES) modeling and numerical/logical modelling in general, including in the broad sense AI. The candidate should be knowledgeable in techniques that are used in the analysis of system reliability, maintainability and availability, from either a numerical or logical perspective. Experience from collaborating with computer science research groups or other alike experiences is a positive.
Research duties will include contributing to the development of research funding applications, writing project reports and supporting on-going digital twin research. This includes capability lead, coordinate and develop software systems to access and analyze data in engineering databases, CAD models, and from sensors on mechanical engineering equipment. Experience in computer science and engineering relating to data structures, data warehouses, CAD data bases, and/or data analysis is considered highly desirable for this post.
Qualifications
Those qualified for appointment as senior lecturer are applicants who have demonstrated teaching expertise and been awarded a doctoral degree in a subject relevant for the position, or have the corresponding research competence or other professional expertise that is of value in view of the subject area of the position and the duties that it will involve.
