Two Chairs in Biological and Environmental Sciences University of Stirling: School of Natural Sciences
The School of Natural Sciences invites applications for two full time Professorial/Reader positions within Biological and Environmental Sciences (http://www.sbes.stir.ac.uk/). This interdisciplinary division operates from the molecular to the global scale to address key questions focused on the relationships between society and the environment. Our findings are used to inform policy makers and practitioners in conservation, environmental regulation, planning and management. Building on our internationally leading research in Conservation and Environmental Protection, we seek applications in the area of Environmental Change and Biological Conservation. Candidates are expected to be outstanding, internationally renowned leaders within their field of research. Successful candidates will have proven track records of research leadership with demonstrable skills in building research groups, obtaining grant funding nationally and internationally, and a substantive record of publications in high impact journals. Strategically these appointments will augment Stirlings reputation as the leading institution for Conservation Biology and Environmental Protection in Scotland and will further strengthen its ranking in these fields across the UK and internationally. Chair in Environmental Change We seek applications in the broad area of environmental change. Applicants specialising on the impacts of environmental change on natural biogeochemical cycles within terrestrial or aquatic environments are especially welcome.
