However, degrees in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, engineering mechanics, or other such disciplines, would be considered. The duties are to both teach and conduct research in the theory and development of marine vehicles and ocean systems. The teaching will be both undergraduate and graduate level. The research requirements will rely on a strong background in and inclination for solutions through engineering science, although facilities are available for experimental research and this will be encouraged.
Salary is commensurate with qualification and experience.
