Who we are

Great minds.  Innovative solutions.

We are the University of Strathclyde. Our vision is innovative and ground breaking, placing us amongst the world’s leading international technological universities. We are vibrant, dynamic and passionate about solving the challenges facing society and industry through our cutting-edge, multi-disciplinary research, education and knowledge-exchange with global partners.

Our department and research environment

Applications are invited for a joint academic appointment as a Chancellor’s Fellow between the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the University of Strathclyde to develop a leading research programme in optical frequency metrology. The aim of the post is to develop and grow the strategic research partnership between the two organisations exploiting existing strengths and leveraging a ca. £1m investment by NPL in laboratory space and state-of-the-art microwave and optical frequency metrology equipment based at Strathclyde. The aspirations of the post are closely aligned with the UK Government’s strategic emphasis and investment in Quantum Technology in general and Timing in particular in support of Critical National Infrastructure.

The University of Strathclyde has established a position as a leading international centre for Quantum Technology research and innovation, covering activities from fundamental and applied research through to technology development and industrialisation. It is our stated aim to create and nurture a vibrant and internationally competitive cluster of research and innovation based on Quantum Physics. We are committed to creating the translational ecosystem required to develop, test, validate and demonstrate disruptive quantum technologies, and respond to current and future market demand. Together with a range of industrial and governmental organisations NPL is a core partner in this ecosystem.

NPL is a world-leading centre of excellence that provides cutting-edge measurement science, engineering and technology to underpin prosperity and quality of life in the UK. The National Timing Centre (NTC) programme, led by NPL, seeks to establish a resilient time and frequency network in support of national priority areas as well as the acceleration of innovation in new technologies.

The post will be based in NPL’s timing innovation laboratory collocated with the Strathclyde Physics Department and closely linked with the activities of the Experimental Quantum Optics and Photonics Group. This laboratory is equipped with a microwave atomic clock linked to UTC(NPL), an optical frequency comb and an ultrastable laser, and has access to a commercial optical atomic clock. Of particular interest for the post is the establishment of an ambitious joint research programme in optical frequency metrology involving development and validation of optical frequency sources as well as their transfer through free-space links and as a basis for a technology pipeline necessary for responding to the needs of future timing infrastructure and applications.

The successful candidate is expected to have an internationally recognised track record in optical frequency metrology and applied Quantum Technology with demonstrated experience translating technology from the laboratory environment to real-world tests. They will be expected to lead a research programme of international standing, develop knowledge exchange opportunities, attract significant funding, publish in leading journals and contribute to teaching and management of the Department.

Our department

The Department of Architecture was formally established in 1967, although the teaching of architecture at the origins of the technological institution started in late 1800s. The Department is among the oldest and largest in the UK and enjoys a distinguished international reputation with consistent high performance in league tables and exemplary student employment. The Department captures the University’s ethos as ‘the place of useful learning’ in its vision, mission, and standard pedagogical practice.

Operating at the intersection of art and design, culture and technology, engineering and society, in global and local contexts, our research and teaching addresses the environmental and societal challenges facing the built environment and places emphasis on the opportunities those challenges create. Its vision is to continue to be one of the world leading providers of education and research in sustainable architecture and urban design while contributing effectively to global society and to the welfare of the country. Such a vision is articulated in a mission that attempts to reflect the trans-disciplinary nature of architecture as a profession and as an academic discipline. Through a range of innovative approaches, the Department strives to:


	Produce global graduates who are well equipped and prepared to meet the needs and challenges of the bult environment in the 21st century.
	Enable students to acquire knowledge and skills and implement these in design and practice.
	Excel in design studio teaching and delivery of instruction while promoting a culture of scholarship and life-long learning.
	Create and disseminate knowledge through world class research, knowledge exchange and exemplary practice.
	Advance and apply professional knowledge and expertise through effective international partnerships and service to the profession and society at large.


Climate change, social deprivation as well as decarbonisation of the built environment continue to pose complex interdependent challenges. The design and use of buildings and cities continue to be a major source of not only carbon emissions but also impacts on public health. Interdisciplinary innovation and skills are needed to be developed at pace to deliver a net zero healthy built environment and smart, flexible energy system in line with UK net zero ambitions. The need to design and better manage use of buildings and urban environments to minimise carbon emissions whilst enhancing occupant’s health are now fundamental. We are looking for an early career researcher who is interesting in developing a portfolio of research in areas of health, energy and architecture and who is also able to use this knowledge to inform teaching and practice. We are particularly interested in candidates who have interdisciplinary skills, interest in sustainability innovation, regenerative approaches and nature inspired design.

This post will build on recent Departmental appointments to build substantial world leading expertise in this area in an area of strategic importance for the Institution and Society, and to contribute to the University of Strathclyde Vision 2025 strategy.
