Opportunities at St Andrews for Population Researchers
Three positions in Human Geography – ML1317
Details:
The Department of Geography and Sustainable Development at St Andrews invites
applications for three posts in Human Geography (from Lecturer to Professor). Exceptional
candidates will be considered for Reader or Professorial positions. We welcome applications
from candidates at all career stages who are, or have the potential to be, world leading in their
particular specialism.
The successful candidates may have expertise in any area of human geography. Our desire is
to appoint individuals with outstanding research capacity whatever their specialism, although
expertise in population/health or cities/neighbourhoods may be an advantage. Experience of
advanced quantitative methods is desired for at least one of the posts. You will have the
opportunity to engage with staff working on large, externally-funded initiatives – the Centre
for Population Change (http://www.cpc.ac.uk/) and the Census and Administrative Data
Longitudinal Studies hub (http://calls.ac.uk/), whilst those with interests in cities and
neighbourhoods will be encouraged to develop links with the Centre for Housing Research
(http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/chr) within the Department. You will also contribute to the
Geography teaching programme as appropriate.
Informal enquiries: you are welcome to discuss any of the posts informally with Prof Allan
Findlay (Allan.M.Findlay@st-andrews.ac.uk; tel +44 (0)1334 464011), Prof Elspeth Graham
(efg@st-andrews.ac.uk; tel +44 (0)1334 463908), or Prof Colin Hunter (Head of
Department/co-Head of School; ch69@st-andrews.ac.uk; tel +44 (0)1334 464017). The
research interests and recent publications of current members of staff in Geography and
Sustainable Development can be found on our website (http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/gsd/).
