3 From the Head of College Thank you for your interest in the role of Chair of Agri-Robotics. This will be one of the first substantive Chairs of Agri-Robotics created in the UK. The role will provide international leadership within an exciting and emerging new field. Agri-Robotics could have significant impact by reducing the environmental impacts of food and farming, underpin food security by providing technological solutions to reduced labour supply through demographics and urban drift, and help drive the productivity and financial sustainability of the food and farming sectors. It also provides a challenging domain for fundamental research in robotics, including in locomotion, perception, action and coordination. The University of Lincoln is an exciting and dynamic environment with a strong multi-disciplinary College of Science. This role will sit within the new Lincoln Institute of Agri-Food Technology (LIAT) and the Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems (L-CAS). LIAT is a cross-disciplinary platform facilitating work with industry across the entire College of Science and wider University, and underpins the strategic vision of the University to be a world-leader in Agri-food research over the next five years. L-CAS has broad expertise in robotic perception, learning and action in domains including Agri-Food. The University has a significant number of agri-food related projects, including key note studies on the development of robotic harvesting systems, vision systems to drive robotic weeding systems, large scale factory automation, and the development of field robots for agriculture. We are looking for a Chair of Agri-Robotics who can help shape the future of LIAT, and develop it as an internationally recognised centre of excellence. You will be an excellent networker, with extensive experience of grant capture and collaboration with industry, and experience in agri-robotics or related robotic disciplines. You will have an international outlook and international connections. Above all we are looking for someone who thrives on innovation, has vision and can demonstrate success in delivering results. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in this role and the University of Lincoln. I wish you good luck in your application. Professor Andrew Hunter Pro-Vice Chancellor/Head of College of Science, University of Lincoln 3

7 Research strengths Research underpins all the University s academic endeavours. It is Lincoln s mission to pursue the highest standards of research excellence with talented academics, researchers and students attracted from across the UK and abroad. Over the last 10 years, there has been significant investment in the infrastructure for both research and teaching. From state-of-the-art equipment and new buildings through to investment in facilities and archives, the University offers a vibrant academic environment in which to pursue research and undertake research-informed study. In REF 2014, 53% of the University s submitted research was rated as 4* or 3*, with world-leading research identified in almost every area. Approximately 40% of eligible staff across 17 Units of Assessment were returned to the REF. The University was placed in the top ten nationally for the quality of its research outputs in two areas, reflecting the substantial investments made in developing science and health research. Overall Lincoln achieved a GPA of 2.54 an improvement of more than 30% (and 13 league table places) on the results of RAE We are committed to further strengthening our research, for example through the strategic recruitment of new academic staff with proven research strengths, as well as developing all our research-active staff through targeted support and investment. Research will remain at the heart of the University s academic endeavours. Teaching and the student experience The University organises its teaching around a central notion of the student as producer, recognising that students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level have a key role to play in the development of the academic culture and the creation of new knowledge. Students are seen as participants in research, and their courses are structured with project work and employability in mind. Well over 70% of Lincoln s new graduates are in graduate roles within six months of leaving. Significant investments have been made in the infrastructure for teaching and learning for example, more than 6m has been invested recently in information technology and the extension of the university library and further development in these areas will be vital to delivering the institution s strategy. Away from the lecture hall, Lincoln Students Union was named SU of the year at the 2014 NUS Awards. There are currently more than 3,500 students involved in student-led sports, clubs and societies, and students compete in a wide range of interuniversity British Universities & Colleges Sport tournaments. The Students Union runs an oncampus pub and a nightclub venue, the Engine Shed, which hosts student nights, live music and comedy. 7
