Apologies for cross-postings.
University of East Anglia
School of Environmental Sciences
Professor/Reader in Atmospheric Chemistry
The School is seeking to appoint an atmospheric chemist at a senior
level. The post arises from the retirement of Professor Stuart Penkett
in 2004. Applications are invited from individuals working in any
branch of the subject (field observations including space-based
techniques, laboratory measurements, or modelling). The School has
research interests in all regions of the atmosphere.
The School of Environmental Sciences at UEA is internationally renowned
for its research in atmospheric chemistry. Research groups are led by
Professors Peter Brimblecombe, Tim Jickells, Peter Liss, Stuart Penkett,
John Plane and Andy Watson, and Drs Simon Clegg and Bill Sturges. These
groups work closely together within the new Laboratory for Global Marine
and Atmospheric Chemistry (LGMAC), recently completed at a cost of over
£7 million for extensive new laboratories and equipment
(http://lgmacweb.env.uea.ac.uk/lgmac/). There is also close
collaboration with members of the School of Chemical Sciences & Pharmacy
(Drs Stephen Ashworth and Stephen Meech). There are thus over 60
atmospheric chemists (faculty, research fellows, post-doctoral
associates, and graduate students) in total. Research interests range
throughout the atmosphere from the ocean-air interface to the
thermosphere above 100 km. The research of LGMAC in particular is
focused on understanding the way the atmosphere and oceans interact to
regulate climate. Activities include a strong field observation
component using ships, balloons, aircraft and optical remote sensing, as
well as a major programme in ice core analysis. The School also has a
dedicated atmospheric observatory at Weybourne on the north Norfolk
coast. Within LGMAC there are several new laboratories for studying
elementary atmospheric processes occurring in the gas phase and on
aerosols. Finally, there is an extensive programme of model development
on a range of time and spatial scales.
Additional enquiries should be directed to Professor John Plane
(e-mail: [log in to unmask]) or the Dean of the School, Professor Trevor
Davies (email: [log in to unmask] ). Application forms and further
particulars can be found at

The closing date for applications is 1 December 2003.
