Readership/Lectureship in Natural Hazards and Risk
The University of Bristol is seeking to appoint a new member of academic staff in the general area of Natural Hazards and Risk. The position will be based in the Schools of Mathematics, Geographical Sciences or Earth Sciences, and cross-school appointments will be considered. The three Schools have world-class expertise that spans a broad range of fields, including mathematics applied to geophysical flows, statistics, hydrology, seismology, volcanology, climate and ice sheet modelling, and sediment transport. In addition the newly formed Cabot Institute is promoting interdisciplinary research that brings together expertise in natural sciences, engineering and the social sciences to address issues of disaster risk reduction and societal resilience. We are looking for candidates who can complement or enhance existing expertise and take advantage of the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary environment offered by the University of Bristol. Candidates with quantitative approaches and some experience of risk assessment will be favoured. The appointment may be filled at Reader or Lecturer levels depending on the experience and research potential of individual candidates.
The successful candidate should have a PhD and be willing to contribute fully to the relevant School’s undergraduate teaching programmes. They should also have a proven track record of publishing in leading international journals and in securing research funding.
It is expected that interviews will be held late March 2013. Short-listed candidates will be invited to give a presentation and will be assessed on their potential to fulfil the requirements of a Pathway One Lecturer or Reader, in addition to their current achievements.
