Shell/Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Teaching Fellows

This industrially sponsored Visiting Teaching Fellows scheme is focused on enriching the teaching curriculum in the technologies associated with the upstream and downstream operations of the Petroleum industry. Visiting Teaching Fellows are selected on the basis of being on the fast track in their respective areas of technical expertise and the ambitious nature of the programme their host university wishes them to undertake.

Apart from teaching, Visiting Teaching Fellows are also involved in supervising practical and project work and mentoring students. They are also expected to deliver two careers’ focused presentations to students during the course of their appointment. Each appointment is for a period of two years.
