************************ School of Earth Sciences & Geography Kingston University Kingston Upon Thames, UK Professor John Clemens e-mail: J.Clemens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ************************ Lectureship in Earth Sciences This post is available from 1 January 2007 or as soon as posible thereafter for initial fixed term of 2 years. The School of Earth Sciences and Geography is seeking to appoint two highly motivated individuals to strengthen the School's research profile. These are primarily research positions but will also include some Undergraduate and Masters-level teaching in areas appropriate to the successful candidates' expertise. Applications are invited from candidates with interests that develop and capitalize on the School's three main research foci: Geodynamics and Crustal Processes; Environmental Change; and Rural Geography and Socio-economic Change. Research in Geodynamics and Crustal Processes is focused on petrogenetic and geophysical processes, mainly in Earth's crust and mantle. Specific areas include partial melting processes and the origins of magmas, volcanic geology and large igneous provinces, magma physics, fluid-rock interactions and mineralisation, hydrocarbons in crystalline rocks, collision-zone tectonics and applications of palaeomagnetism to global geodynamics. We are seeking applicants whose research would complement our specialties and work at the interface between Geology and Physical Geography. We are particularly interested to hear from candidates with expertise in geophysical monitoring/modelling, surface processes and natural hazards. The successful candidates will have completed a PhD in Geography, Earth Science, Geology or a cognate discipline, have a strong profile of academic publication and be able to demonstrate the potential to develop externally-funded research programmes. The School of Earth Sciences and Geography has a series of modern well-equipped research laboratories dedicated to Experimental Petrology, GIS, Palaeomagnetics, Palynology, Soils and Sediments. Kingston hosts the UK NERC ICP-MS Facility and there are also laboratories for Laser-Raman Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy/EMP analysis, Fluid Inclusion analysis, Thin Sectioning, Rock Cutting and Rock and Cold Storage.
