The Role
The Environment Department is a leading centre for research and teaching on sustainable solutions to global environmental problems. The University was recently ranked by the Times Higher Education as 2nd in the UK and 17th in the world for the impact of its research in environmental and ecological sciences. Excellent staff, interdisciplinarity and a friendly approach meant that 96% of our students said that they were happy with their Environment course in the 2011 National Student Survey.
The Department is seeking to appoint a Chair, who will play a significant role in research, particularly within the Earth Systems and Environmental Change research cluster. No restriction is placed on area of expertise, although preference will be given to candidates in the field of earth system processes, including hydrological, physical, biological, oceanic and atmospheric processes, and those with enthusiasm to work across traditional disciplinary boundaries towards solutions to global environmental problems. You will also play a leading role in the appointment of a lecturer in a related area from 1 October 2013.
You will have an international reputation in research, an excellent publication record and a successful track record of funding, alongside a strong commitment to teaching and learning.
