Dear CSCST members Currently we have vacancies for 2 lectureships, one in geochemistry and the other in molecular ecology. Details are as follows. If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible. John Zhou Two Lecturerships in Environmental Science The launch of a new Centre for Environmental Research (CER) has given the opportunity for the appointment of two lecturers to work on inter-disciplinary research between Environmental Science and either Chemistry or Biological Sciences (both of which are RAE grade 5). The following two fields of research are being considered, but applications from researchers in related fields are strongly encouraged. Environmental Biochemist/Biologist (Ref389) interested in the use of molecular techniques to investigate environmental change. These could include (i) molecular ecology techniques to study changes in diversity (ii) the development of biomarkers to monitor chemical exposure, and (iii) the use of DNA technologies to either screen and test for hazardous chemicals, or in bioremediation processes. Environmental Geochemist/Chemist (Ref 390) with interests such as (i) the characterisation, behaviour and availability of contaminants in soils, waters, sediments or the atmosphere (ii) exposure, interactions and cycling of contaminants by plants and animals, and (iii) human or ecological risk assessment Salary will be on either Lecturer Grade A (£17,238-£22,579) or Grade B ( 23,521–£30,065) per annum on the Teaching Faculty Scales. Closing date: 4 August 2000. The research activities in CER and Environmental Science are summarised on the website, which also has links to Biological Sciences and to Chemisty, at http://www.cpes.sussex.ac.uk/cer/ ------------------------------------------------------ Dr J.
