Chair in Environmental Change
University of St Andrews – School of Geography and Geosciences
As part of a continuing programme of expansion, we invite applications for a Chair in Environmental Change.
You will have a strong international reputation, an outstanding record of innovative and internationally-recognised research and publication, and a track record of substantial funding success. You will play a major role in the leadership and development of the School’s well-established Environmental Change Research Group, and development and enlargement of our Graduate School.
No restriction is placed on area of expertise, but we seek to enhance and diversify our research in Earth surface process and biogeochemistry, and encourage applicants with interests in ecosystem processes, hydrology, glaciology, biosphere-atmosphere exchange, process-based environmental modelling or stable isotope biogeochemistry. Candidates with an outstanding record in Quaternary palaeoenvironmental reconstruction and/or palaeoceanography will also be considered. Preference will be given to candidates with research interests cognate to those of existing staff, and those whose research has policy relevance and/or has links with our expanding programme in Sustainable Development.
It is anticipated that a linked lectureship appointment will be made following the Chair appointment.
Informal enquiries to Professor Paul Boyle (Head of School) p.boyle@st-andrews.ac.uk or Professor Colin Ballantyne ckb@st-andrews.ac.uk.
