<http://www.uec.ac.uk/biology/index.shtml>.
These posts
will build on the existing strengths on the Cornwall Campus, which currently
consists of 13 academic staff. Posts are available at all levels up to
chair. Chair / Reader in Ecology
or Conservation Biology We are
seeking to recruit someone who will provide leadership in the area of ecology
and/or conservation biology following the retirement of Professor Bryant. We
would be particularly interested in appointing someone with strengths in field
ecology or conservation but encourage all interested parties to
apply. Lectureships
in Ecology and Conservation Biology We have
between two and four lectureships available in the field of ecology and
conservation biology. We are looking to build on our existing strengths and
buoyant undergraduate and postgraduate degrees programmes in ecology and
conservation. We would be particularly interested in recruiting vertebrate and
plant ecologists, in population and community ecology and conservation biology
and genetics. Timing Posts are
available from September 2006 . Further
information: Interested
applicants are encouraged to approach Prof. M.R. Evans ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Prof. N.J. Talbot ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Further particulars: Positions in Ecology and Conservation
Biology The Chair /
Reader in Ecology and / or Conservation Biology Following the retirement of Professor
Bryant, we are seeking to recruit someone to provide leadership in ecology and /
or conservation biology and to inform the development of the group as we move
into future. We would be interested in considering
anyone whose research programme fell within the general areas of ecology or
conservation biology. However, we would be particularly interested in recruiting
someone with interests and expertise in field ecology. We would also benefit
from recruiting someone whose work would utilise molecular or conservation
genetics. The successful applicant will have a track record of obtaining
external funding from a variety of sources, both governmental and
non-governmental as appropriate for their research programme. He/she should have
supervised research postgraduate students. Importantly the successful applicant
will have a series of publications in high profile journals sufficient to be
considered an international figure in the field by his/her
peers. We would expect any recruit at this
level to have a teaching load (at both undergraduate and postgraduate level)
commensurate with the maintenance of their research programme and to participate
in the leadership, management and administration of the school across both
campuses. The successful applicant will be in a
position to influence the appointment of the more junior positions. It may also
be worth any applicants considering that between 2008 and 2012 the school of
biosciences has plans to expand to 30-35 academic staff within ecology,
evolution and conservation. These plans are externally funded as part of the
development of the Combined Universities of Lectureships in Ecology and Conservation
Biology. We have between two and four
lectureships available in the field of ecology and conservation biology, the
precise number will depend on the level of appointment of the senior position.
We have strengths in vertebrate conservation, behavioural ecology, population
and evolutionary ecology. We are looking to build on our existing strengths and
expand into new cognate areas. We also wish to maintain our buoyant
undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in ecology and conservation and
to some extent the appointments have to fit with teaching as well as research
priorities. We are interested in considering any suitably qualified applicant
but are particularly interested in recruiting vertebrate and plant ecologists,
in population and community ecology and conservation biology and genetics.
The successful applicant will have a
track record of obtaining external funding. He/she should have contributed to
the supervision of research postgraduate students and will have a series of
publications in high profile journals both those specific to the field as well
as more general publications. We would expect any recruit at this
level to have a teaching load commensurate with the maintenance of their
research programme. A contribution to teaching at both undergraduate and
postgraduate level will be expected. |
