*Multiple Appointments in Ecology and Conservation*
*University** of Exeter, Cornwall Campus (UK)*
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>.
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.
*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.
*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
.
*Further information:*
Interested applicants are encouraged to approach Prof. M.R. Evans
([EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) or Prof. N.J. Talbot
([EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).

*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 £1.5M and a research
postgraduate population of 25.

*Chair / Reader in Ecology and / or Conservation Biology*
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.
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.
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.
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.*
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.
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.
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.
