Are you an early career academic or more established with a passion for engineering economics and management? Are you looking to join an academic team where you can build your profile and experience? Then the University of Southampton's Department of Civil, Maritime and Environmental Engineering is the ideal place to make your mark. We have brand new, world-class facilities and a vibrant 50-strong departmental academic community. Civil Engineering at Southampton was ranked #1 and #2 in the UK this year by the Guardian and the Times Good University Guides respectively.

There are many opportunities for external engagement and gaining leadership experience.

This role is offered on a full-time, permanent basis.

To make the most of this exciting role, you will need a PhD (or equivalent professional qualifications and experience) in project management/economics related to engineering, along with a track-record of published research.
