Job description

Kingston University is a thriving, modern institution. Now is a very exciting time in its evolution as it seeks to implement its Town House strategy. Named after the internationally acclaimed, award-winning Town House building, the strategy will prepare students for the future world of work, increase the University's research and knowledge exchange, enhance its collaboration with local communities, business and industry, strengthen its impact on policy and support the goal of building a more sustainable society and economy. It is built around four themes: Driving a progressive new model of education, combining subject-specific knowledge with the future skills and attributes most needed by employers. Partnering with industry to develop students' skills, and engaging government and organisations with the University's expertise to further debate and influence policy. Having impact in research, knowledge exchange and professional practice. Providing an innovative and high-performing working environment for staff. In order to deliver the correct outcomes, Kingston University is making significant investment and has also undertaken structural change in terms of its STEM provision. There are therefore a range of openings available in the new Faculty of Engineering, Computing and the Environment. The post of Head of the Department of Aerospace and Aircraft Engineering is an opportunity to lead a historic entity, based on a dedicated engineering campus at Roehampton Vale. With exceptional facilities including a Lear Jet Lab, there is plentiful scope for the post-holder to build still further on the Department's strong foundations. Candidates should have an academic profile that is relevant to the disciplines in question. This means understanding the trends and expectations of students and employers alike. It also requires a real-world appreciation of the issues at play in these subjects, so as to ensure there are strong links with industry. The post sits within the School of Engineering so there are plentiful opportunities for inter-disciplinary work, and it is expected that the appointee will embrace this. Strong management experience will be a requisite, as will the appetite to deliver on the University's Town House Strategy.
