Job summary
We are looking for colleagues to complement and enrich our existing research and teaching activities, with particular interest in data science or machine learning, and their application to pure, applied or engineering problems related to Earth Science, Planetary Science, Environmental Science, or Remote Sensing and Imaging.

Situated in the heart of South Kensington’s museum district, the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London employs ~55 academic and teaching staff members and ~75 postdoctoral research scientists supported by a team of ~30 professional and technical staff. Our academics and researchers are at the cutting edge of discovering how Earth and planetary systems work and how natural resources and energy can be sustainably extracted and utilized, using a combination of pure and applied research. We are a multidisciplinary and diverse community that promotes inclusive and collaborative work. We have strong ties with other departments and institutes across Imperial College London and collaborate with colleagues both nationally and internationally.

Our research is wide-ranging and is performed across three sections: Computational Geoscience and Engineering, Earth & Planets and Natural Resources Geoscience and Engineering. Our teaching portfolio combines traditional Undergraduate and Masters-level Earth Science courses with pioneering programs in Earth & Planetary Science (UG), Applied Computational Science and Engineering (MSc) and Environmental Data Science and Machine Learning (MSc).

We invite applications to join our friendly and dynamic department as a permanent academic staff member. You will be committed to performing original research, looking to develop an international reputation for the quality of your research, open to growing your research interests, and intending to write research funding bids and engage in opportunities to do so with your colleagues in the department and across Imperial College London. You should be excited to join our dedicated teaching programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, engage with our curious and talented students, and help your colleagues within the department and across Imperial College London with administrative activities, thereby contributing to our excellent national and international reputation.

We will help you to develop, build, nurture and inspire your research group, to become an international leader in your field, and to provide the best possible educational experience to our students. You may be a Postdoc, Research Fellow, or already hold a Lectureship or Senior Lectureship or an equivalent position (Assistant Professor) at an academic institution or industrial organisation.
