On the 1 August 2026, the University of Greenwich and the University of Kent will form a pioneering new multi-university group called London and South- East (LASE) University Group.
Should you join us, you will be employed by LASE but will work as part of the University of Greenwich academic division, contributing to its distinct strengths, community and identity while also being part of a wider group that brings together the scale, resilience and shared ambition of both universities.
Through LASE we aim to deliver outstanding education, impactful research, and meaningful regional and global impact.
Based within the School of Engineering at Faculty of Engineering and Science at the University of Greenwich, this professorial role is a key part of our strategic transformation as we realign our academic portfolio to focus on Digital Engineering, with a particular emphasis on Infrastructure and the Built Environment. Operating across two campuses—Greenwich in London and Medway in Kent—this position will be primarily based at the Greenwich campus and will provide academic leadership across our Digital Engineering portfolios.
This appointment represents a strategic investment in the School’s ambition to develop internationally recognised capability in areas including digital infrastructure, smart cities, digital twins, BIM, intelligent infrastructure systems, sustainable built environment technologies, data-driven engineering and applied AI within the built environment sector.
We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate the vision, credibility and leadership capability to inspire and lead high-performing research groups, centres and interdisciplinary collaborations, secure significant external research and innovation funding, supervise doctoral researchers and develop strategic partnerships with industry, government and international collaborators.
The successful candidate will play a leading role in shaping the School’s research strategy and contributing to the University’s ambitions in Research Excellence Framework (REF), Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF), innovation, industrial engagement and international research collaboration.
The role provides an opportunity to contribute strategically to the future direction of Digital Engineering within a dynamic and ambitious School with growing research and enterprise aspirations. Depending on experience and expertise, there may also be opportunities to undertake wider academic leadership and management responsibilities within the School, including positions such as Deputy Head of School, Associate Head of School, Director of Research or Portfolio Leadership roles.
While the role includes contribution to research-informed teaching and postgraduate supervision, the emphasis of the appointment is on strategic research leadership, research capacity building and international profile development.
We welcome applications from candidates with strong academic leadership experience, internationally recognised research outputs, experience of leading collaborative and interdisciplinary research activity, and a strong track record of securing external funding from sources such as UKRI, Innovate UK, Horizon Europe and industry.
