Associate Professor or Lecturer in Control Engineering of Electrified Propulsion Systems

Achieving net zero transport and energy systems depends on more than advances in individual technologies. It requires electrified systems to be intelligently controlled, coordinated, and operated under real-world conditions. Across aerospace, marine, automotive, and energy applications, the challenge is increasingly one of system integration - where electrical, thermal, and energy domains must work together reliably and efficiently at scale.

UCL Mechanical Engineering is seeking to appoint a research-focused academic at Lecturer or Associate Professor level in Control Engineering for Electrified Propulsion Systems. The successful candidate will join the Advanced Propulsion Laboratory (APL) at UCL East - a multidisciplinary research environment spanning electrified systems, energy technologies, and sustainable transport.

The APL brings together expertise in electrical machines, power electronics, batteries, fuel cells, thermal engineering, and fluid systems, enabling...
