Lectureship in Environmental Science
Department of Geography, Scott Polar Research Institute
University of Cambridge
The Department of Geography wishes to make an appointment to a
Lectureship in Environmental Science. Candidates for this University
Lectureship should be able to demonstrate expertise and commitment
relating to scientific problems of the cryosphere, which could include
interactions with the ocean and/or atmosphere. They should have a strong
science background and skills in, for example, numerical modeling,
quantitative remote sensing (e.g., SAR interferometry), or geophysical
field methods. Detailed work on the cryosphere should be capable of
having a significant impact on global environmental issues, and
applicants should be able to contribute to an understanding of problems
in environmental science beyond their immediate disciplinary area.
The appointment will be in the Department of Geography and will be based
in the Scott Polar Research Institute. The position is intended to
further strengthen research and teaching in glaciology and related
topics, and follows the recent appointment of Professor Julian
Dowdeswell to whom further enquiries should be made about the scope of
the post (email: jd16 [at] cam.ac.uk, telephone +44/1223-336541). The
preferred starting date is 1 October 2002, but other mutually agreeable
starting dates can be considered.
Appointment will be for three or five years in the first instance with
the possibility of reappointment to the retiring age. The pensionable
scale of stipends is £22,522 rising by eleven annual increments to
£34,734.
Further particulars may be obtained from:

Ten (10) copies of each application should be sent to the above address
along with the names of three referees, by noon on Friday, 29 March
