Do you want to join the UK’s national fusion laboratory and one of the UK’s leading universities to answer some of the most complex and exciting challenges in engineering and technology?

UKAEA and the University of Sheffield are funding a professorship, with the aim of developing novel approaches to the prediction of fusion technology performance.

Addressing the challenges of qualification for fusion will be the core focus of the role and at least half of your time is expected to be in this area, but the role will also come with a positive encouragement to actively and imaginatively push into adjacent areas of research and draw solutions and ideas from the widest range of sectors, alongside contributing to the University through teaching and leadership as part of its vibrant academic community. We envisage that this arrangement will provide the perfect opportunity for an individual who will address this exciting new field in their own way while also building a network of others across academia and industry who will attack similar problems in different ways, to achieve tangible impact and change.
