Dear All, We have four vacancies for fixed-term lectureships currently advertised. They are as follows: Lecturer in Human or Environmental Geography (Critical GIS Specialism) - Fixed-term for 2 years A research focus on the interface between geo-technologies and environmental and/or development themes is particularly desirable. Indicative areas of interest and research include Participatory GIS, location-based digital technologies and their relationships with communications technologies, and the politics and governance of spatial data and geo-technologies. Lecturer in Human Geography (2 posts) - Fixed-term post for 22 months We invite applications for two fixed-term lectureships in Human Geography in the fields of cultural, political and/or urban geography, broadly defined. Lecturer in Physical Geography - Fixed-term for 16 months This is a fixed-term lectureship in Physical Geography in the field of paleoclimate change. The appointee will contribute to on-going research in the Centre for the Quaternary Research in the Department, and should have a demonstrable record of research expertise in the areas of sedimentology, thin-section micromorphology, sediment chemistry, and key chronological techniques. These posts have been funded through a range of sources, including AHRC and Leverhulme Trust funded research leave for Professor Tim Cresswell and Dr Pete Adey, special staff leave, and other external income. All four posts will be full members of the research groups at Royal Holloway, and will have teaching loadings and responsibilities in line with those of existing staff. All these posts have a starting date of 1st September 2012 or as soon as possible thereafter. Please contact me ([log in to unmask]) if you'd like an informal discussion about the posts - Professor Katie Willis ([log in to unmask]) is also happy to talk through the 'Critical GIS' position. The closing date is 24th June (not earlier as advertised in some media) and further details and application procedures can be found at: https://rhul.engageats.co.uk/ It is anticipated that interviews for the 2 Human Geography posts will take place on 10th July 2012, and for the 'Critical GIS' post on 18th July; the interview date for the Physical post is yet to be confirmed, but is also likely to be mid-July.
