Faculty Position (Lecturer) St Andrews (Scotland)

St Andrews is currently advertising a permanent faculty job in Earth and Environmental Sciences at Lectureship (Assistant Professor) level, closing end of September. The position is broadly within the Environmental Earth Sciences, including climate dynamics, environmental mineralogy, and earth system modelling. If you are interested in the position, or know someone who might be, please feel free to contact Head of School Prof Tony Prave (ap13@st-andrews.ac.uk).

Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Earth Surface Processes - reference AC3873ML
University of St. Andrews - School of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Closes 30th September
Start Date: On or before 1 January 2018, or as soon as possible thereafter

The School of Earth & Environmental Sciences invites applications for a tenured, Lectureship-level (assistant-professor equivalent) appointment, from individuals that utilize applied, field-based, or theoretical approaches to address fundamental questions about the processes controlling Earth’s surface environment. We particularly welcome applicants that could expand our core research and teaching strengths in geology, paleoclimate, geochemistry, and economic geology into a modern environmental context. This could be in fields including (but not limited to) hydrogeology, environmental mineralogy, earth system modelling, climate dynamics, and global environmental change.

The successful candidate will complement our vibrant research groups in Global Change, Solid Earth & Planetary Science, Geobiology & Earth System Evolution, Economic Geology & Energy and Earth Surface Processes, and will be able to develop an externally funded, innovative and impactful research programme. The successful candidate will additionally be expected to contribute skills-transferable and research-led teaching to our degree programmes, including the BSc in Environmental Earth Science.

Our work is complemented by collaborations with researchers in the Schools of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics & Statistics, and Physics & Astronomy, and the Environmental Change research group in the School of Geography & Sustainable Development. We also engage with the Scottish Oceans Institute, the Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling, the European Marine Biology Research Centre, the Marine Alliance for Science and Technology for Scotland, and the Centre for Advanced Materials.

More information about the School can be found at http://earthsci.st-andrews.ac.uk/ and informal enquiries should be directed to Prof Tony Prave (ap13@st-andrews.ac.uk).
