Dear Critical and Economic Geographers (with apologies for double
posting),
Reading Geography Department is seeking to fill a new Human Geography
Chair with an innovative researcher of international standing, and
would greatly welcome applications from members of either or both of
these lists.
A copy of the advert is reproduced below, with a more elegant version
on our web-site: http://geog.reading.ac.uk/newpage11.htm
Further particulars/information can be obtained from me, and I should
be very happy to talk about the job and the department with anyone who
may be interrested.
Ian Gordon (contact details below)
THE UNIVERSITY OF READING
PROFESSORSHIP IN HUMAN GEOGRAPHY
Applications are invited for a new Chair in Human Geography,
established following the transfer of Michael Breheny to the Chair of
Planning. This is part of a strategy of reinforcement of the
Department's research capability and candidates for the post must have
a strong motivation to promote research of the highest quality as well
as a track record of work of international standing. Applicants for
the post may have research interests in any area of Human Geography,
but preference will be given to those with specialisations
complementary to these groups.
The Department has a strong research culture, with activity in Human
Geography currently focused on two Research Groups, in the fields of
Cultural and Political Geography, and Urban and Regional Development:
current research in each involves work in both more and less developed
societies. The post is to be filled from 1 January 2000 or as soon as
possible thereafter.
Potential candidates are invited to discuss this position informally
with Professor Paul Whitehead (0118 931 8740), or with Professor Ian
Gordon (0118 931 8736).
Further information on the Professorship may be obtained from:-
