Hi all,
The School of GeoSciences at Edinburgh University are currently recruiting up to 5 Chancellor's Fellows. Closing date for applications is 18th April.
Further details below and from this link: https://www.vacancies.ed.ac.uk/pls/corehrrecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.display_form
All the best,
Dan
The Fellowship may be held in any discipline or interdisciplinary area that fits within the strategic aims of the University and its Schools/Centres. It is essential that the successful candidate’s research furthers the high international reputation of the School and the University and that she or he has a strong commitment to postgraduate and undergraduate training. The tenure-track Fellowship is held for 5 years. Subject to satisfactory review at the end of year 3, the Fellow will then move to a standard University academic open-ended contract. It is anticipated that most appointees will be successful in obtaining an open ended contract.
The first year of the Fellowship will focus on establishing the Fellow’s research programme, with a limited amount of teaching. Start-up research funds may be available appropriate to the discipline and the Fellow will be mentored towards gaining external competitive grant support. Fellows will be expected to submit an appropriate number of high quality research outputs to REF2014. Teaching and administration will gradually increase over the 5 year period to that of a normal academic load in the relevant discipline and substantial mentoring and development support will be available through and beyond their Fellowship provided our outstanding Institute of Academic Development. In parallel with research attainments, a sufficient amount of teaching and administration will be required in the first 3 years to allow a judgement to be made on continuation to a full academic position.
Candidates already holding an externally-funded Fellowship are encouraged to transfer this to Edinburgh if the sponsor permits. International candidates are welcome and will be supported through the process of visa application if required.
Applicants wishing to work in interdisciplinary fields are warmly encouraged and in such cases the hosting School will be identified by discussion with the School(s) and the candidate.
