The School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh is recruiting two lecturers in Physical Geography (open-ended contracts).
Note that in the UK, geomorphology is considered part of Physical Geography, hence this posting on this list (I know that it is not the case everywhere).
However, note also that “our preference is for applicants whose interests will enrich our commitment to field research, and diversify activities beyond existing areas of strength (i.e. geomorphology, glaciology). Areas of research interest include, though are not limited to, the study of: Critical Physical Geography (encompassing complex and contested aspects of the physical earth system) , Environmental Geography (encompassing priorities such as clean air, flood management, soils, climate resilience, vulnerability and adaptation), Biogeography (encompassing climate and vegetation dynamics)”.
For more information about the posts, go to Lecturer in Physical Geography - University of Edinburgh Careers (oraclecloud.com)
If you have any question about our School or life in Edinburgh, do not hesitate to get in touch!
Best wishes,<br>

NB: deadline is 1st July 2024, not 7th January. Please do not ask why they used the USA date format for the job description.

The School of Geographical & Earth Sciences (GES) at the University of Glasgow are pleased to advertise an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate to undertake quantitative geospatial analysis of risks on Anthropocene coasts threatened by climate change.
Focusing on three ‘at-risk’ UK geographic areas (in England and Scotland), the candidate will investigate the hazard associated with waste and pollution release under more severe flooding and coastal erosion scenarios and assess the vulnerability of coastal environments and adjacent communities, while ensuring the project’s approach, methods and key findings for coastal resilience measures can be scaled across the UK.
Through this work, the candidate will make a leading contribution to the £2.9M ‘Resilience of Anthropocene Coasts and Communities (RACC)’ project, which addresses the interlinked risks of climate change, coastal flooding/erosion, and the UK’s historic waste legacy on coastal community and ecosystem resilience. RACC is part funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), one of four interdisciplinary projects under their Resilient Coastal Communities and Seas programme and is part of a £14.8M investment in place-based research projects aiming to enhance resilience, wellbeing and sustainability across the UK. The project is overarched by a Coastal Network+. This project will thus provide an excellent opportunity for the successful candidate to develop an extensive research and practitioner network through their role in this RACC project.
