My inclination is to read this as うえ since it's followed by で, however I've
got a nagging feeling it might be read as じょう instead.

  * Is my instinct correct in that it's read as うえ?
  * Are there times where 連体形 + じょう is the appropriate way to read it?




It is read `ウエ` as you were inclined to think. I do not believe there are any
times when it would be read as `ジョウ` after a dictionary form. It **_is_** read
as `ジョウ` when appearing directly after a noun.
