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.

The opportunity

We would love to hear from you if you have a PhD and postdoctoral research experience; an emerging publication history in high quality academic journals; and research interests which align with this area of strategic priority – particularly if you already hold an external fellowship that can be transferred to us.

The University of Strathclyde is a socially progressive institution that strives to ensure equality of opportunity and celebrates the diversity of its student and staff community.  Strathclyde is people-oriented and collaborative, offering a supportive and flexible working culture with a deep commitment to our equality, diversity and inclusion charters, initiatives, groups and networks.

Role Description

We welcome applications from passionate, self-motivated, skilled, team player and committed candidates to join our team at Cranfield University and EWB Solutions to contribute to a knowledge transfer partnership between Cranfield University and EWB Solutions on advancing manufacture of metallic bellows used in critical equipment that operate in vacuum. The KTP is focused to improve manufacturing productivity through improvement of the present practice and experimenting disruptive technology. The applicant will use statistical tools complimentary to the manufacturing experimentation to bring substantial improvement on present manufacturing practice. The goal is to achieve higher production capacity and improve in productivity through faster manufacturing and reduction of defects.

An exciting opportunity to work as a Specialist Welding Engineer (Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Associate) has arisen as part of a collaboration project between EWB Solutions Ltd and Cranfield University.  EWB Solutions Ltd specialises in the design and manufacture of edge welded bellows. This project will deliver EWB’s vision of shifting to precision engineering lean manufacturing practices, underpinned by scientific, statistical and analytical methods. Through the embedding of specialist welding expertise and techniques, EWB will modernise and automate their production processes. Benefits include enhancing repeatability, reducing scrap rates (by 10%), improving efficiency and reduced lead times (by 60%). EWB aim to be market leaders and the outcomes of this project will enable EWB to scale and move up the value chain. The innovation lies in implementation of advance processing techniques which would optimise the manufacturing methods for EWB's product. Working with academics from the Welding and Additive Manufacturing Centre at Cranfield University, this project will investigate impact of raw material strength on forming followed by optimisation of Gas Tungsten Arc (GTAW) and plasma welding processes for bellows manufacture. Statistical techniques and machine learning would be complimentarily employed to understand the degree of impact of different processing parameters on the capability of the process under study. EWB will also explore disruptive technologies such as laser processing in place of arc welding as a manufacturing option and determine potential future investment routes.

About the Role

Your role will be to embed new knowledge and capability in specialist welding processes, precision engineering and lean manufacturing, to optimise, modernise and automate the company's production processes for its core product, the metallic bellows. Details of EWB Solutions can be found in Edge Welded Metal Bellows | EWB Solutions Ltd. | Vacuum Applications | Kings Langley Hertfordshire UK

About You

You are required to have a minimum 2.1 degree in Mechanical or Materials Engineering, or related discipline. A Masters and/or PhD in a related discipline is desirable but not essential.

This role requires knowledge of the following areas:


	Knowledge of welding and joining
	Understanding of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and/or Plasma process
	Metallurgical understanding of stainless steel and other nickel-based alloys and their response to thermal processing
	Computer aided design (CAD; e.g. Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks software)
	Knowledge of statistical tools (e.g. Statistica) to analyse process capability, variation and other statistical parameters to explain the performance of a process


Experience of working in an industrial setting or manufacturing environment, along with being familiar with lean manufacturing methodologies would also be desirable in this role

This role would suit an individual with excellent project management, team working and interpersonal skills. The candidate is expected to have excellent oral and written communication and presentation skills, be self-motivated and creative to be able to solve problems. As KTP projects are aimed to develop future leaders, separate funding is available for development of transferrable skillset of the candidate.eit

As the KTP will require time to perform experimentation, mechanical testing and characterisation, they should be able to spend time at Cranfield University, therefore, the candidate will need to be able to travel during the period of the project.
