Multiple Appointments in Ecology and Conservation
University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus (UK)
=20
The School of Biosciences, University of Exeter is seeking to recruit up =
to four new staff for the second phase of growth on its Cornwall Campus.
<http://www.uec.ac.uk/biology/index.shtml>.=20
=20
These posts will build on the existing strengths on the Cornwall Campus, =
which currently consists of 13 academic staff. Posts are available at =
all levels up to chair.
=20
Chair / Reader in Ecology or Conservation Biology
We are seeking to recruit someone who will provide leadership in the =
area of ecology and/or conservation biology following the retirement of =
Professor Bryant. We would be particularly interested in appointing =
someone with strengths in field ecology or conservation but encourage =
all interested parties to apply.
=20
Lectureships in Ecology and Conservation Biology
We have between two and four lectureships available in the field of =
ecology and conservation biology. We are looking to build on our =
existing strengths and buoyant undergraduate and postgraduate degrees =
programmes in ecology and conservation. We would be particularly =
interested in recruiting vertebrate and plant ecologists, in population =
and community ecology and conservation biology and genetics.

Timing
Posts are available from September 2006
.

Positions in Ecology and Conservation Biology
The School of Biosciences on the University of Exeter's Cornwall Campus =
has now been established for two years and currently consists of 13 =
academic staff (4 professors, 3 readers, 2 senior lecturers and 4 =
lecturers). This represents the end of the first phase of development, =
we are now seeking to recruit for the second phase and are planning for =
the third phase which will see the expansion of this group to =
approximately 30 academic staff. The staff on the Cornwall Campus all =
work within the Centre for Ecology and Conservation and future growth =
will be broadly within this area of biology. We have buoyant =
undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in ecology and conservation =
(currently recruiting 50 at undergraduate and 30 at postgraduate level). =
The group has a combined research income of about =A31.5M and a research =
postgraduate population of 25.=20

Chair / Reader in Ecology and / or Conservation Biology
=20
Following the retirement of Professor Bryant, we are seeking to recruit =
someone to provide leadership in ecology and / or conservation biology =
and to inform the development of the group as we move into future.=20
=20
We would be interested in considering anyone whose research programme =
fell within the general areas of ecology or conservation biology. =
However, we would be particularly interested in recruiting someone with =
interests and expertise in field ecology. We would also benefit from =
recruiting someone whose work would utilise molecular or conservation =
genetics. The successful applicant will have a track record of obtaining =
external funding from a variety of sources, both governmental and =
non-governmental as appropriate for their research programme. He/she =
should have supervised research postgraduate students. Importantly the =
successful applicant will have a series of publications in high profile =
journals sufficient to be considered an international figure in the =
field by his/her peers.
=20
We would expect any recruit at this level to have a teaching load (at =
both undergraduate and postgraduate level) commensurate with the =
maintenance of their research programme and to participate in the =
leadership, management and administration of the school across both =
campuses.
=20
The successful applicant will be in a position to influence the =
appointment of the more junior positions. It may also be worth any =
applicants considering that between 2008 and 2012 the school of =
biosciences has plans to expand to 30-35 academic staff within ecology, =
evolution and conservation. These plans are externally funded as part of =
the development of the Combined Universities of Cornwall (of which the =
University of Exeter is a major partner) that is a crucial part of the =
EU funded initiative 'building the knowledge economy'.

Lectureships in Ecology and Conservation Biology.
=20
We have between two and four lectureships available in the field of =
ecology and conservation biology, the precise number will depend on the =
level of appointment of the senior position. We have strengths in =
vertebrate conservation, behavioural ecology, population and =
evolutionary ecology. We are looking to build on our existing strengths =
and expand into new cognate areas. We also wish to maintain our buoyant =
undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in ecology and =
conservation and to some extent the appointments have to fit with =
teaching as well as research priorities. We are interested in =
considering any suitably qualified applicant but are particularly =
interested in recruiting vertebrate and plant ecologists, in population =
and community ecology and conservation biology and genetics.=20
=20
The successful applicant will have a track record of obtaining external =
funding. He/she should have contributed to the supervision of research =
postgraduate students and will have a series of publications in high =
profile journals both those specific to the field as well as more =
general publications.
=20
We would expect any recruit at this level to have a teaching load =
commensurate with the maintenance of their research programme. A =
contribution to teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate level =
will be expected.
