An exciting opportunity has arisen for a permanent, teaching-focused Associate Professor in Technology Management, Systems Engineering or Transformation Leadership to join the Technology Management Group within the Department of Space and Climate Physics, UCL.  The Technology Management Group is concerned with the development, management and exploitation of technology within an enterprise context, and carries out research, teaching and consultancy in relevant areas. By applying this knowledge, it also supports projects and activities in the Department of Space and Climate Physics, other UCL departments, associated institutions and partner companies. This programme of activity involves teaching in relevant programmes across the university, including undergraduate and postgraduate courses and industrial training programmes. Most of these services are delivered through UCL’s Centre for Systems Engineering, which is hosted by the department within the Technology Management Group. An important facet of this is the provision of modular MSc programmes in Technology Management, Systems Engineering Management and Management of Complex Projects. Open short courses and customised industrial training courses in Systems Engineering and Project Management are also offered to a range of customers in the UK and overseas. Building on our close links to industry, we have recently developed master’s degree apprenticeships in Systems Engineering and Transformation Leadership. All of our programmes promote the value of using systems thinking to manage risk successfully and to deliver effective and sustainable change in the presence of increasing complexity. Note that teaching is not generally focused on the space sector, but covers many industries such as aerospace, rail, defence and security, automotive, healthcare, construction and consumer technology, and the experience of tutors reflects this.
