The University of Nottingham Ningbo, China, a pioneer in Sino-foreign tertiary education, is rapidly expanding. It is looking for ambitious, talented academics with a passion for teaching as well as research flair to join its team of science and engineering experts. UNNC is part of the University of Nottingham’s Global University, and offers unique teaching and research opportunities in a highly dynamic economy.

Applications are invited for the above post in the Faculty of Science & Engineering which is one of the newest divisions at the University but is expected to become one of the biggest as the University rolls out its detailed, long term plans. The University expects to triple its number of engineering students to over 2,000 within the next few years. The first intake of UNNC engineering students will graduate in 2012 and Master of Science degrees will be offered in a range of subjects in the near future.

Academics with specific experience in the fields of concrete, structures, construction management, coastal engineering and fluids are encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate will play a key role in the development of the Division and MSc courses related to Civil Engineering.
