"Teaching Position at Lancaster University, UK"

Department of Environmental Science
Lancaster University

Lecturer in Groundwater Management and Remediation.

The Department of Environmental Science, Lancaster University wishes to appoint a lecturer to replace Dr Giorgio Cassiani who is returning to Italy. The appointee will be expected to have an active research profile in the areas of groundwater management and modelling contaminant transport or remediation and to contribute to both undergraduate and graduate teaching in the areas of groundwater, environmental management and remediation, including the new program of Masters courses that will be offered for the first time in 2001/2. The Department has a TQA rating of excellent.

The appointee will join a very research active Department, graded 5 in the 1996 and bidding for 5* in the current assessment, in a research led University. It has research groups in Hydrology and Environmental Modelling, Aquatic Environmental Chemistry, Atmospheric- Biosphere Interactions and Atmospheric Chemistry, Environmental Organic Chemistry and Ecotoxicology, and Volcanology and Environmental Hazards. Full details of the staff and research groups can be found at http://www.es.lancs.ac.uk/.

Lancaster has been recognised as a centre for environmental research since it became the first dedicated environmental science Department in the UK in 1964. Recent recognition has included HEFCE funded Environment Lancaster project that is being continued with a new Lancaster Environment Centre building (see http://www.lancs.ac.uk/staff/blackbga/elhome.htm), part of which will house NERC Centre for Ecology and Hydrology staff who will move from Merlewood in 2002. Other new initiatives to which the appointee might contribute include proposals for a major Environment North West Model e-science project and the JIF funded Catchment Hydrology and Sustainable Management project (CHASM).
The Departmental research groups are well resourced in terms of laboratory and field equipment, analytical facilities, and computing facilities. The Hydrology and Environmental Modelling group has its own 32 processor BEOWULF parallel processing machine, and access to a 140 processor SUN system for research purposes. Other related expertise within the group includes field tracer techniques, subsurface geophysical tomography, groundwater and contaminant modelling and uncertainty estimation methods.
Informal enquiries should be addressed to the Head of Department, Prof. Bill Davison at w.davison@lancaster.ac.uk or Prof. Keith Beven at k.beven@lancaster.ac.uk. Closing date for applications is 3rd September.
