Senior lecturer in performance practices, specialising in musical drama performance/opera

OUR MISSION At Electrogenos, we’re building technology to make green hydrogen competitive at scale. We focus on reducing the cost and complexity of hydrogen production so it can replace fossil-based alternatives across real-world applications. We’re an early-stage team working at the intersection of electrochemistry, manufacturing, and deployment. ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a practical junior engineer to help us build, commission, and test electrolysers. You will be in the workshop and lab from day one, working alongside senior engineers on stack assembly, rig commissioning, fault-finding, and live test campaigns. You do not need prior electrolyser experience. We will teach you the electrochemistry and the process side, including hot caustic handling, hydrogen and oxygen safety, and commissioning procedures. In return you will gain broad hands-on experience across mechanical build, thermo-fluid systems, instrumentation, and controls, plus a genuine foot in the door of the UK hydrogen industry. TASKS * Assemble electrolyser stacks and test rigs: torque sequences, sealing, leak checks * Run experimental campaigns: performance characterisation, durability testing, component trials * Record test data and keep clean test logs * Support pressure testing, commissioning, and fault-finding * Build test fixtures and sub-assemblies * Plumbing and pipework: cutting, bending, fitting tubing, compression fittings, valves * Fit and route instrumentation: thermocouples, pressure transducers, flow meters, level sensors * Trace faults across mechanical, fluid, and electrical systems * Workshop inventory tracking: consumables, spares, long-lead items * Source parts, raise purchase requests, chase suppliers * Write and update test procedures, risk assessments, and as-built drawings * Work safely around hot caustic, pressurised systems, and flammable gases ESSENTIAL SKILLS * Engineering degree (mechanical, automotive, aerospace, chemical, mechatronic), HNC/HND, or hands-on background as a machinist, technician, or fitter * Confident with hand and power tools, basic machining, and measurement kit * Solid engineering fundamentals * Basic instrumentation literacy: pressure, temperature, flow, level * Safety-first approach * Writes clearly and takes notes without being asked * Proactive and flexibility in a fast moving environment * Problem solving and independent research skills DESIRABLE SKILLS * Compression fittings (Swagelok, Schwer) or general pipework * Able to read P&IDs and GA drawings * Pressurised gas or liquid systems * DAQ or programming (LabVIEW, Python) * Hazardous fluid handling or ATEX awareness * CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, or similar) * Interest in hydrogen, fuel cells, or clean energy * Full UK driving licence YOUR PROFILE You’re practical, curious, and want to build things. Maybe a recent graduate who spent more time in the workshop than the lecture hall, or a technician looking to move into R&D. You don’t need to know anything about electrolysers — we’ll teach you. What matters is that you pick up a tool before being asked and take ownership of what lands on your bench. WHY US? * Broad hands-on experience across mechanical build, instrumentation, and test engineering * Experienced engineers who will invest in your development * A genuine foot in the door of the UK hydrogen industry * Small team where you see the impact of your work immediately * Competitive salary and benefits

We are looking for up to two senior lecturers in Electrical Engineering for permanent employment at the School of Science and Technology. Subject area The subject area for this position is Electrical Engineering. Background We are looking for up to two new colleagues to strengthen our teaching and research related to electrical engineering, at the intersection of electrical engineering, robotics, and autonomous systems. Topics of interest include control theory, signal processing, sensors, electronics and mechatronics; potentially extending towards robot manipulation, robot perception and machine learning. If you are passionate about advancing knowledge in these fields and enjoy working in an internationally connected research and educational environment, we would love to hear from you. The positions are based at the school’s unit for computer science, which conducts education in both computer science and electrical engineering, and is home to the research environment AASS (applied autonomous sensor systems) which is a dynamic and multi-disciplinary constellation at the intersection of computer science, robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and cybersecurity. The successful candidate is also expected to interact with the university-wide centre for AI, Robotics and Cybersecurity (ARC). See also: https://www.oru.se/english/our-profile/arc-ai-robotics-and-cybersecurity-center/ Duties and responsibilities As a senior lecturer, you will divide your time between teaching at all levels, research, and any associated public engagement activities. On the teaching side, you will contribute to courses spanning the breadth of electrical engineering, from foundational to advanced level. This includes courses in electrical circuits and electronics, digital electronics, control theory, digital signal conditioning and processing, and electrical machines. Over time you will be expected to develop your own courses. Teaching encompasses supervision, examination, course development and administration, planning and evaluation. Teaching can be done in Swedish and English. On the research side, you are expected to publish in relevant international venues and attract external research funding. You will be integrated into the research environment with possibilities to establish an independent research agenda connected to the unit's general topics. There are also opportunities to take on leadership roles in research and education (for example, shaping degree programmes or leading a research team) and to contribute more broadly to the development of the unit's activities. Qualifications Those qualified for appointment as a senior lecturer are applicants who have demonstrated teaching expertise and been awarded a doctoral degree in a subject matter relevant for the position, or has the corresponding research competence or some other professional expertise that is of value in view of the subject matter of the position and the duties that it will involve. A general eligibility criterion for teaching staff at Örebro University is to have completed courses on teaching and learning in higher education corresponding to 10 weeks. Knowledge and skills equivalent to such courses may also be assessed to establish whether these provide eligibility. A teacher who at the time of appointment lacks such training or the equivalent competence, must complete the required courses no later than within two years of taking up the position. Assessment criteria To see the job advertisement and the assessment criteria in its entirety, visit: https://www.oru.se/english/career/available-positions/job/?jid=20260201  Information This is a permanent full-time position.
