Lecturing Jobs in Maritime Technology   

Lecturing Jobs in Maritime Technology

Looking for lecturing jobs in maritime technology?

If you’ve just completed a PhD or a postdoc project in a related area, you may be interested in using your specialist knowledge to inspire the next generation of maritime engineers and technicians.

Maritime technology lecturers teach undergraduate and postgraduate students across multiple engineering disciplines, while also carrying out individual and collaborative research.

Academic research in this field focuses on the development of technologies which improve efficiency and sustainability in global maritime industries and activities. There is high demand for specialists in this area and universities look for lecturers who can combine visionary research with exceptional teaching and practical training.

In this post we take a look at the types of lecturing jobs available in maritime technology, the qualifications and experience you’ll need and opportunities for career progression.

Job Descriptions

  • Lecturer in Maritime/Marine Technology
  • Lecturer in Offshore Renewable Energy Engineering
  • Lecturer in Computational Fluid Dynamics

Lecturer in Maritime/Marine Technology

Maritime/Marine technology or engineering lecturers deliver interdisciplinary teaching and carry out research in their specialist area (such as naval architecture, hydrodynamics, marine resources and renewable energy)

Duties:

  • Teaching specialist maritime/marine technology modules and programmes
  • Undertaking research in an area of maritime/marine technology
  • Curriculum and module design
  • Supervision of degree apprentices
  • Writing grant proposals and securing research funding
  • Publication of research results in peer-reviewed papers and journals.

What qualifications and experience do you need?

A PhD in maritime/marine technology or related area would be essential for a lectureship. Many lecturers in this area have a first degree in a broader engineering subject, such as mechanical or civil engineering, and have specialised in maritime/marine technology at Masters/doctoral level.

A background working as an engineer or technician within the maritime industries or in the Navy would be an advantage.

You should also be able to demonstrate evidence of research in an area of maritime/marine technology which aligns with the focus of the department.

What’s the pay?

A lecturer in maritime/marine engineering can expect a starting salary in the range of £41,737 – £52,353 p.a., depending on qualifications and experience.

What can it lead to?

Most higher education institutions have an established career progression framework to ensure promotion of academic staff.

Following 3-5 years as a lecturer, you could apply for a senior lecturer or associate professor role. Promotion would depend on the quality of your teaching practice and research outcomes.

Related roles:

  • Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering
  • Lecturer in Naval Architecture
  • Lecturer in Hydrodynamics

Where can I find jobs?

You will find that most maritime technology lecturing jobs are located in coastal universities close to industry and ports. In the UK, these universities are more likely to offer these types of programmes and training to students.

Maritime or marine technology lecturer is a specialist and fairly niche role, so availability of job opportunities may be lower.

Lecturer in Offshore Renewable Energy Engineering

Lecturers in offshore renewable energy engineering teach postgraduate students looking towards a career in offshore wind, wave and tidal energy.

They also deliver specialist modules to undergraduate students following mechanical, civil and environmental engineering programmes.

Duties:

  • Delivery of multi-disciplinary lectures, seminars and practical classes at all levels
  • Carrying out research into coastal and offshore engineering technologies
  • Working in partnership with national/international researchers, governments and marine industries
  • Publication of research and applying for further funding
  • Curriculum and module design
  • Supervision of Masters level student projects

What qualifications and experience do you need?

A background in mechanical or civil engineering with a PhD in an area related to wind, wave and tidal energy engineering would be essential for a lectureship. You would also need to provide evidence of published research and the ability to secure funding.

Professional experience of working as an engineer in the offshore energy industry would be an advantage.

What’s the pay?

A lecturer in offshore renewable energy engineering can expect a starting salary in the range of £41,737 – £52,353 p.a., depending on qualifications and experience.

What can it lead to?

Your next step on the academic career ladder would be a senior lectureship or associate professor position. Promotion would depend on your research results and your ability to deliver high-quality teaching and training.

Related roles:

  • Lecturer in Civil Engineering
  • Lecturer in Environmental Engineering

Where can I find jobs?

Academic job opportunities in offshore energy engineering are more prevalent in higher education institutions located near to the coast, giving researchers and lecturers closer access to marine industries, ports and specialist equipment.

Lecturer in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods are integral to the development of maritime or marine engineering applications and naval architecture.

Lecturers in CFD teach undergraduate and postgraduate students across related engineering disciplines, as well as carrying out research activities.

Duties:

  • Delivery of lectures, seminars and practical/technical classes
  • Preparation and assessment of examinations
  • Curriculum design and development
  • Investigating new areas of research and seeking out funding opportunities
  • Networking with national and international partners in both academia and maritime industries

What qualifications and experience do you need?

A PhD in mechanical engineering with an emphasis on CFD would be essential for a lectureship. This is a highly technical and specialist area of engineering, and you should be able to demonstrate an outstanding research record in your field.

Having a higher education teaching qualification would be an advantage.

What’s the pay?

A lecturer in Computational Fluid Dynamics can expect a starting salary in the range of £46,737 – £52,949 p.a., depending on qualifications and experience.

What can it lead to?

On completion of a number of years as a lecturer, your next move would be to apply for a senior lectureship or associate professor position. Alternatively, you may want to apply for a research-only role such as senior research associate or fellow.

Related roles:

  • Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering
  • Lecturer in Sustainable Energy Technology

Where can I find jobs?

Computational Fluid Dynamics lecturers are generally employed in mechanical engineering departments and would teach multi-disciplinary modules across a school or faculty of engineering.
