Lectureships in Human Geography
University of Bristol -School of Geographical Sciences
The School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol seeks outstanding candidates for a number of lectureships in Human Geography. Candidates will be expected to have demonstrated outstanding research potential in an area within human geography. We seek applicants whose research further broadens and expands upon the strengths of our existing research groups in Geographies of Political Economy, Historical-Cultural Geographies, and Spatial modelling. Candidates from all areas of human geography are encouraged to apply. The School is interested to build its capacity in spatial modelling, critical political economy, gender and material embodiment, political ecology and nature-culture relations, resource geographies, geographies of urbanism and technology, geopolitics and violence, race, religion and social movements, and geographies of the global South, but applicants from all areas will be considered. We are also keen to recruit candidates who will enhance the School’s research contribution to the recently established Cabot Institute which brings together world-class expertise from Science, Engineering and Social Sciences to develop multidisciplinary research programmes in environmental risk and uncertainty.
This appointment builds on the international success of the School. We are the only Geography department in the country to come in the top category across every RAE that has been undertaken since 1986. Human geography research at Bristol builds upon our long standing reputation for theoretical and methodological innovation, moving into new areas such as geographies of knowledge and political economic geographies; and providing evidence for important policy impacts in finance, elections and health. Physical geography research focuses on Earth system science, developing new environmental data, producing novel numerical models used in academic and applied contexts, and deploying expertise in evaluating models using large-scale datasets.
