-----Original Message----- From: Yit Arn Teh Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 9:50 AM Subject: [DISCCRS4] Chair in Environmental Change at St Andrews Dear colleagues, We will be hiring for a Chair in Environmental Change in the new year and I wanted to draw your attention to the enclosed advertisement for the post. Please feel free to circulate this ad among those who might be interested. There will be a Lectureship (equivalent to Assistant Professor in the US) associated with the Chair, although the appointment to this second post will probably be made after we have hired a Chair. Regards, Yit Arn Teh School of Geography and Geosciences Chair in Environmental Change As part of a continuing programme of expansion, we invite applications for a Chair in Environmental Change. You will have a strong international reputation, an outstanding record of innovative and internationally-‐‑recognised research and publication, and a track record of substantial funding success. You will play a major role in the leadership and development of the School'ʹs well-‐‑established Environmental Change Research Group, and development and enlargement of our Graduate School. No restriction is placed on area of expertise, but we seek to enhance and diversify our research in Earth surface process and biogeochemistry, and encourage applicants with interests in ecosystem processes, hydrology, glaciology, biosphere-‐‑atmosphere exchange, process-‐‑based environmental modelling or stable isotope biogeochemistry. Candidates with an outstanding record in Quaternary palaeoenvironmental reconstruction and/or palaeoceanography will also be considered. Preference will be given to candidates with research interests cognate to those of existing staff, and those whose research has policy relevance and/or has links with our expanding programme in Sustainable Development. It is anticipated that a linked lectureship appointment will be made following the Chair appointment.
