Should you know of anyone likely to be interested in the new
professorial appointment advertised in The Guardian on Tuesday 6th
July, we should be pleased to hear from them!
I shall of course be happy to discuss things informally.
My apologies for any double-posting.
Howard R Kirby
Director, Transport Research Institute
Napier University

What follows reproduces the text of the ad in The Guardian:
...........................
Professor of Transport
Research leader: Chair in social / economic or environmental issues
in transport
Circa £40,000
Join the research team being built up in Edinburgh at the Transport
Research Institute. This is genuinely a cross-faculty research
centre, helping research across the University to grow. Funding from
the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council is aiding the
development of its research capabilities with senior level
appointments.
We seek to make a further Professorial appointment. We would like
this to be in the broad area of the social, behavioural and economic
aspects of transport, but we are open to applications from across a
wide range of research interests. Your interests might for example be
in the travel behaviour of individuals or groups; the decision making
processes of firms (whether at operational or strategic level); the
needs of the passenger or freight industries; or the impact of
transport on land use or the environment.
You will be a skilled researcher with a national or international
reputation, a track record of major grant and contract awards and a
distinguished publication record.
Whatever your particular specialism, we would expect you to display
the vision and ability to extend the research programme of the TRI
into new areas, and to make a vital contribution to the research
needed as a result of the UK government's Integrated Transport Policy,
and the devolution of transport issues to the new Scottish Parliament.
For an informal discussion, contact Professor Howard R Kirby,
Director, Transport Research Institute on 0131 455 5144, e-mail:
