Senior Lecturer, Industrial Design

Overview:
The Griffith School of Engineering has been providing tertiary qualifications to the Engineering profession for over two decades and is known for its innovative and student focussed teaching approaches and its strong industry relationships. There has been a rapid growth in student numbers since 2007 and we now teach over 2000 students at both undergraduate and postgraduate programs across multiple campuses in several disciplines, including Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic, Environmental Engineering and Industrial Design.

Industrial Design is a new undergraduate program at Griffith University offered jointly by the Griffith School of Engineering and Queensland College of Art. The program intentionally introduces more engineering than is traditional in an Industrial design degree to broaden the scope of its graduates.

This is a continuing, full time position primarily based at the Gold Coast campus, however the successful applicant may also be required to work on other campuses of the University.

The role:
The position is required to teach design supported by engineering fundamentals including maths, mechanics and thermofluids, in a design context as a solid foundation for students to study these subjects in later years. The position is also required to assist in teaching design courses (e.g. creative engineering), and contribute to the School's teaching and research outcomes including publications and research success, teaching excellence and higher degree research supervision and completions, and engagement activities.

The person:
The successful candidate will have relevant teaching, research and professional links in Industrial or Engineering Design to strengthen Discipline's teaching and research capability in this area. You must have a PhD in Industrial or Engineering Design or a related field and will need to demonstrate the ability to undertake high-quality research of national and international standing. The successful appointee will be able to demonstrate the ability to gain external research funding and to supervise higher degree students.

The ideal incumbent would be an Industrial Designer who has a depth of engineering knowledge or an Engineering Designer with proven creativity skills in industrial or product design.

It is expected that the successful appointee is available to commence before the end of year 2017.
