Imperial College London

Faculty of Natural Sciences

Department of Life Sciences

Division of Ecology and Evolution

Two Academic Positions in Ecology and Evolution
(Lecturer/Reader/Chair)

Lecturer salary in the range £44,150 - £49,200 per annum
Reader minimum starting salary: £54,250 per annum
Chair minimum starting salary: £68,970 per annum

The Division of Ecology and Evolution is looking to make
two academic appointments in the broad areas of Ecology &
Evolution.  The post will be based at the Silwood Park Campus
(http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/silwoodparkcampus).

The successful candidates will contribute to the Division's goal
of improving fundamental scientific understanding of biological and
ecological processes and systems. The research will focus on solving
ecological and evolutionary challenges and could fit into a range of
disciplines, including, but not restricted to, ecology, evolution,
genomics, agro-biology, or conservation science.

The Division is seeking to appoint candidates with expertise in relevant
areas of ecology, evolution, or conservation science. We anticipate
that these appointments will be at Lecturer level.  However, there is
potential for the appointments to be made at more senior academic levels
(Reader/Chair), and we welcome applications from more senior researchers.

Reporting to the Head of the Department, you will be expected to identify
opportunities in Ecology and Evolution and contribute to teaching and
administration within the Division and Department.  You will be required
to raise financial support, manage your own innovative research programme
of international quality in the areas of ecosystems, the environment,
and their interaction with human populations that would expand on and
complement existing activities within the Department of Life Sciences.

The successful candidate will be expected to have a good honours degree
and a doctorate (or equivalent) in a relevant subject area.  You will
also have an international reputation for research and innovation in
ecosystems, environment and/or human populations commensurate with the
current stage of your career, underpinned by a record of first-class
journal publication.  You must also be able to demonstrate the potential
to raise significant research funding from UK and EU sources to maintain
and enhance the College's leading research activities.  Experience of
teaching at undergraduate and Masters' level, and postgraduate student
supervision, are not essential, but would be an advantage.  You must
have excellent interpersonal, verbal and written communication skill
with an ability to convey ideas and concepts clearly and effectively to
a range of audiences through a variety of methods and media.  You must
have the ability to lead a research team, manage the finance and
your staff. You must also have the ability to communicate and inspire
students as you will be expected to contribute to our undergraduate
and postgraduate teaching programmes.  For appointment to Reader,
in addition to the above, candidates must also have an exceptionally
strong research record in ecological systems, environment and/or human
populations or a closely related subject, and a proven track record of
securing research funding. You will also be expected to have extensive
experience in postgraduate teaching and undergraduate teaching across a
range of subjects within (or close to) the fields of Ecology, Evolution
or Environmental Science, together with a track record of successful
postgraduate student supervision and postdoctoral mentoring.

For appointment to the position of Chair, in addition to the above,
you will also be expected to have an international reputation for your
research, and strong leadership qualities in areas which enhance and
extend those of the Group.

Previous applicants and/or holders of independent fellowships are welcome
to apply.
