Professors: Compound Semi Conductor & Creative Industries

Welcome

To support and build on our reputation for research excellence, we are seeking international applicants currently living and working outside the UK (for at least the past 24 months), as part of our allocation of the UKRI Global Talent Fund initiative.

We are looking to appoint a Professor to accelerate our research leadership in the key strategic areas of compound semiconductors and creative industries, aligned to the corresponding UK industrial strategy area.

The successful candidate will be well-established in their field and have a significant portfolio of research with an established track record of publication and research grants and national, emerging, or international reputation in their chosen research area. Importantly, they will have the ability to drive areas of research and innovation aligned to the industrial strategy in partnership with external partners and other disciplines.

This role represents an opportunity to make both an immediate and lasting impact on Cardiff University’s mission to co-create and share new knowledge to deliver a better world for future generations. Our strategy, ‘Our future, together’, builds on our history, values, strengths, resources and networks to deliver on our ambitious plans and priorities. Our vision is to be a world-leading, research-excellent, and educationally outstanding global university with a transformative social, cultural and economic impact on Cardiff, Wales, the UK and the world.

If you feel that you have the skills, enthusiasm and drive to meet this challenge, we would love to hear from you.
