Appointment of the Head of the
School of Engineering
The University of Edinburgh School of Engineering supports world-class excellence in research and teaching. The School was ranked third (in General Engineering) in the UK (Research Fortnight RAE 2008 Analysis Power Rankings) in the last UK Research Assessment Exercise (2008) and has a strong track record in producing technology spin outs and developing industry links that enable our graduates to build relationships that last a whole career. The College of Science & Engineering, of which the School forms a part, is one of the largest science and engineering groupings in the UK.
Recent investment includes a £6.5
million Industrial Doctorate Centre in Offshore Renewable Energy, led by the
University of Edinburgh that will train 50 engineering doctorate students over
nine years in all aspects of Offshore Renewable Energy. The University's
leadership in low-carbon energy has been further enhanced through £9 million
investment on the UK All-Waters Combined Current and Wave test facility for wave
and tidal devices. The £12.5m UK CCS Research Centre (UKCCSRC,
www.ukccsrc.ac.uk ) is a virtual
hub that brings together leading UK carbon capture and storage (CCS) researchers
and acts as a two-way interface between the academic community and key
stakeholders (e.g. government, industry and potential international
collaborators). The School is also a founder member of the Engineering Research
Partnership in engineering and mathematics (ERPem), a consortium involving the
University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University and Edinburgh Napier University,
set up in 2006 with SFC/OST investment. The ERPem is organised into six Joint
Research Institutes (JRIs) dedicated to world-class research, innovation and
education in engineering and mathematical science.
The University of Edinburgh aims to
ensure equality of opportunity and holds an Athena SWAN bronze award.
