Researcher/ Associate Professor
in Coastal Biogeochemistry - Australia
We invite applications from
candidates with an international reputation and an outstanding research track
record for this exciting new position at Southern Cross University. The University has identified Coastal
Biogeochemistry as one of its areas of research strength. A new position in
Coastal Biogeochemistry has been created to enhance this area of research
strength. The position is being offered at the Senior Researcher/ Associate
Professor level, but suitable applicants at the researcher level are also
encouraged to apply. The position will be based in The Centre for Coastal
Biogeochemistry in the School of Environmental Science and Management. The
emphasis of this position is on world-class research, high impact publications
and obtaining external nationally competitive funding. The appointee's research
background and proposed area of research should compliment existing research in
the Centre for Coastal Biogeochemistry. We are currently working in estuaries,
mangroves, seagrass beds, nearshore coastal waters, coral reefs, and
wetlands.
The University is ideally suited for coastal biogeochemistry
research with state-of-the-art instrumentation (e.g. a new stable isotope
facility with two WCO/ GC-c/ EA-IRMS (Thermo Delta V) with full technical
support, membrane inlet mass spectrometer (MIMS)) and newly completed
well-equipped inorganic and organic chemistry laboratories.
Southern
Cross University is based in Lismore, northern NSW, Australia. The region is a
great place to live with a sub-tropical climate, some the best beaches and
surfing in the world and there is also great fishing, scuba diving and
wilderness areas nearby. The quality of life is very high and the cost of
living relatively low.
Initially a 3-year research only fixed-term
appointment is offered with the level of appointment depending on qualifications
and experience. The opportunity exists for this position to convert to a
continuing teaching and research position in the School of Environmental Science
and Management subject to performance and funding.
The starting date is
flexible and will be negotiated with the successful candidate.
