Candidates should be able to provide academic leadership for research and teaching in Social/Cultural Geography. We welcome applications from candidates with expertise in any area of Social or Cultural Geography, but research and teaching activities should complement and/or enhance existing activities of the Department’s “Social and Cultural Geographies” research group.
