I would like to draw your attention to the post below which was advertised last week and can be viewed in full on www.jobs.ac.uk <http://www.jobs.ac.uk/> . Part of this post is funded by the Women Returner’s Scheme (Sheffield University) (returning from maternity leave in early 2007) and involves assisting me with my current research – which focuses on methodology, men and violence in South Africa. It is worth stressing that the fields specified below are very broad and we would welcome applicants with good planning / human geography backgrounds. Please do not contact me directly about the post in general, as I am already on maternity leave, but do contact our HOD Professor Heather Campbell if you are interested.
