<p><strong>Faculty of Science </strong></p>
<p><strong>Salary</strong><strong>: Competitive Salary </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong>Interview date: 15 May 2017 </strong></p>
<p>The Department of Geography wishes to appoint a research leader in
environmental change, specialising in Quaternary and/or contemporary
timescales. The Department of Geography has an emerging group of
talented staff working mainly in past environmental change which the
post-holder will be expected to nurture, and collaborate with where
appropriate. The post-holder will also be expected to contribute to
broader strategic research leadership across physical and environmental
geography.</p>
<p>Candidates will have a substantial international research profile as
evidenced by well-cited publications in leading journals and a track
record of attracting research funding. An ability to make connections
between research areas and have a multi-disciplinary outlook is
essential. We are looking for a high-calibre scientist with leadership
capabilities, willing to share expertise and nurture others.</p>
<p>In return, the post-holder can expect minimal teaching for two years,
the opportunity to collaborate with a group of talented early-career
researchers and work in a department enjoying an exciting renaissance.
Thereafter, the Department operates a system of ‘teaching light’
semesters and research sabbatical scheme. The candidate will be expected
to enthusiastically integrate research specialisms into teaching, while
developing skills relevant to the graduate labour market, thus
contributing to the Department's strategy of skills-focused and
research-informed teaching.</p>
<p>The Department has 22 academic staff, all of whom are research
active, as well as a number of research fellows and post-graduate
research students. The Department’s research culture is blossoming, with
active research groups integrating specialisms spanning environmental
processes and change, environmental management and human geography.</p>
<p>The Department offers BA and BSc degrees in Geography, and a new BSc
Sustainable Environmental Management degree from 2017. MSc programmes
are offered in Coastal & Marine Resource Management and Geographical
Information Systems, which attract healthy numbers of international
students. There is also a Masters by research (MRes).</p>
