The School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences (GEES) seeks to appoint outstanding candidates to a number of Lectureships and Senior Lectureships in Human Geography. We are interested in applicants whose research broadens on our groundbreaking scholarship in critical urbanism, political and social transitions, and diverse economies. We are also looking to build our capacities in environmental and energy relations, political geography and geopolitics, economic geography, and development geography. Applicants should enhance our internationally leading research profile by developing their area of expertise as well as investing effort in collaborations with colleagues in the School, elsewhere in the University and beyond. Evidence of a strong track record in publishing work of the highest academic quality and impact, and (for Senior Lectureships) obtaining external research funding is important.
The appointees will be involved in the delivery and management of human geography teaching, including undergraduate and Masters students, and the supervision of postgraduates within our thriving doctoral research community. We intend to appoint inspiring academics with a demonstrable ability to communicate effectively with researchers, learners, business, civil society and policy-makers.
The purpose of these positions will be to create and disseminate knowledge through initiating and conducting original research, through publication and through developing and delivering undergraduate, postgraduate and CPD programmes, as appropriate to the disciplinary area. In addition, there are opportunities to contribute to the School/College through management/leadership, as appropriate for career stage.
Individuals interested in appointment at Readership level should contact Professor Ian Fairchild ([log in to unmask]) in the first instance.
Female and BME staff are under-represented in the School and so we would particular value applications from such candidates. Professor Eva Valsami-Jones is available to discuss the School’s equal opportunities policies ([log in to unmask] ; 0121 4145537).
