2 Lecturer posts in Human Geography - Lancaster
As part of an ongoing programme of investment and development, LEC wishes to make 2 new academic appointments to respond to a range of emerging global challenges and to further strengthen current levels of investment in key areas of excellence and impact:
* Lecturer: Salary: £31,671 - £35,646 - Details
* Senior Lecturer: Salary: £46,510 - £52,347 - Details
The Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC) is one of the largest centres of its kind in Europe, bringing together academics from across Lancaster University, together with scientists from the Natural Environment Research Council's Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, the Environment Agency and a growing community of business partners onto the University campus.
The quality of our international research, evidenced by a very successful outcome to the 2008 RAE is mirrored by the quality of our teaching and the commitment to ensure our work impacts well beyond traditional academic boundaries.
You must be able to contribute to human geography teaching on LEC degree schemes and provide a social science perspective to interdisciplinary environmental research. Ability to contribute to one or more of the following areas would be an advantage: environmental economic geography, environmental economics, sustainable cities, energy, geopolitics, quantitative analysis or GIS.
As with the other posts in this latest round of development, we are keen to use this post to broaden our established research excellence, maintain and grow our undergraduate and postgraduate taught portfolio, consolidate the department's international strategy (with emerging foci in Brazil and China) and better exploit less traditional income steams in addition to continued strong participation in research council response mode and thematic programmes.
Closing Date: 31 August 2010
