University Lectureship in Geophysics, University of Cambridge
We invite applications from those whose research bears on any aspect of
field, laboratory-based or computational Geophysics, including marine
geophysics, seismology, gravity, tectonics and geodynamics, and in the
application of physics to other fields of the Earth Sciences. The
Department has a strong tradition of broad-based interactive teaching
and research across these and other disciplines.
The person appointed will be expected to contribute to the Department's
undergraduate teaching at various levels, and to take part in field
teaching. At elementary level they may be asked to help with teaching
outside their field of specialisation. We welcome applications from
persons with degrees in Earth Sciences, Physics, or Mathematics.
The person appointed will be expected to contribute to the research
activity of the Department, to supervise research students and actively
to seek external funds to support their research. The Department
assists new academic staff as much as possible to establish their
research in Cambridge.
Please contact the Administrator (">) for further
particulars and information about current research in the Department.
The appointment will be made at an appropriate point on the scale for
University Lecturers (£36,715 to £46,510 a year) and will be for a
probationary period of five years with appointment to the retiring age
thereafter, subject to satisfactory performance.
Applications consisting of a full curriculum vitae, list of
publications, a 1,000 word statement of research interests and future
plans, and the names and contact details of three academic referees,
should reach the Administrator (">) no later than
Wednesday 26 May, 2010.
The application should also be accompanied by a completed form PD18
(Parts I and III, available from
