UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS - CHAIR IN ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE

The creation of a new Chair in Environmental Change is part of a continuing
programme of expansion and restructuring in the School of Geography &
Geosciences. This appointment is designed to enhance our research standing
(RAE 4 in 2001) and to consolidate our excellent record in teaching. It will
reinforce our existing strong international standing in the field of
environmental change and Quaternary research, and will bring the academic
complement of the School up to a total of 22 staff.

The successful candidate will have an outstanding international record of
research and publication within the field of environmental change. He/she
will play a leading role in the development of the School's Environmental
Change Research Group, and will be expected to develop a strong high-profile
research group based on his/her research focus. The appointee will also be
expected to undertake supervision of postgraduate students whose research
corresponds to his/her area of expertise.

No restriction is placed on the area of expertise, but preference will be
given to candidates with interdisciplinary research interests that
complement those of existing staff in the School.

The School is comprised of three collaborative research groups: the
Environmental Change Research Group, the Crustal Geodynamics Research Group
and the Population Health and Welfare Research Group. The School and its
facilities are described further at:
