Three lectureships announced

As part of our programme of investment and development, the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, is seeking to expand its leading research portfolio and excellent taught programmes by appointing three outstanding scientists to lectureships in Physical Geography (Environmental), Coastal Processes and, as a consequence of our new collaboration with the British Geological Survey, Hydrogeology.

We particularly seek candidates who complement our current research programme and have the skills, enthusiasm and motivation to engage with members of the School and the Cardiff University Research Institutes in Sustainable Places and Water.  You will join our lively and dynamic School which is internationally recognized for its research and teaching. You will have an excellent academic research record, including quality peer-reviewed publications and the proven ability to secure external funding to support your research and ensure its impact beyond academia. A strong commitment to teaching, including practical classes and fieldwork, at all levels is also essential.

The School of Earth and Environmental Sciences is committed to promoting equality and diversity, including the Athena SWAN charter for promoting women’s careers in STEMM subjects (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine) in higher education. We particularly welcome applications from women for these posts. Appointment will always be made on merit.
