MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND LIFE SCIENCES


Department of Physical Geography

Lecturer in Physical Geography
(Full-time (continuing))
Ref. 10222

The Department has major research strengths in Atmospheric Science
(both modelling and applied) and Geoecology (soils, quaternary studies
and fluvial geomorphology). The Department hosts the insurance
industry-funded Risk Frontiers - Natural Hazards Research Centre.

We seek applications to a position of Lecturer in the Department. We
particularly welcome applications from individuals who bridge some of
our areas of strength and have good quantitative skills (e.g.
Geographical Information Sciences, modelling, e-research) and/or
field-based research expertise. We hope to make the appointment in an
area of Earth System Science. This might be an individual with excellent
research strengths in atmospheric science, oceanography, climate change
and variability, ecology, biogeochemical cycles, hydrology,
hydrometeorology or any other component of Earth System Science. The
appointee's strengths can be at any scale from micro- to
global-scales.  

The appointee will contribute to the teaching of undergraduate units;
supervision ofpostgraduate students; maintain an active research program
and pick up a share of the  Department's administrative load. 

Essential Selection Criteria: Relevant doctoral degree; an established
research program as demonstrated by publications, competitive grants and
other forms of professional recognition; ability to communicate
effectively across all levels of tertiary level teaching; experience in
university teaching.

Desirable Selection Criteria: Evidence of an interest in the
application of innovative teaching and learning strategies; quantitative
skills; capacity and willingness to teach undergraduate courses in GIS,
undergraduate or postgraduate teaching experience.

Enquiries: Associate Professor Richard de Dear on (02) 9850 7582 or
rdedear at laurel.ocs.mq.edu.au 

An application package MUST be obtained prior to sending your
application, available at 
http:// www.els.mq.edu.au/employment.htm 

The position is available on a full-time (continuing) basis and may be
subject to probationary conditions. Selection criteria must be addressed
in the application.

Salary range: Level B (Lecturer) - $71,903 to $85,263 pa, including
base salary $60,759 to $72,048 pa, 17% employer's superannuation and
annual leave loading.

Closing Date: 13 December 2004.

Lecturer in Physical Geography
(Earth System Science)
(Full-time (fixed-term))
Ref. 20063

The Australian Research Council has recently funded a Network in Earth
System Science hosted at Macquarie University. As part of its investment
in this initiative, Macquarie University is funding a 5-year lectureship
within the Division of Environmental and Life Sciences.

We seek applications to this position particularly from individuals
with an interest in the development of or use of large scale models of
the climate/Earth system. Ideally, the appointee will have an interest
in modelling the terrestrial system (this might include skills in
vegetation science, terrestrial fluxes of energy, carbon or water,
hydrology, biospheric feedbacks etc) but applications from individuals
with an interest in climate impacts on the terrestrial system(s) are
also very welcome. The appointee will be free to explore research
questions of their choosing, but major opportunities exist via the
ARC-funded Network to play a central role in this major national
initiative. 

The appointee will contribute to the teaching of undergraduate units,
most likely within the Atmospheric Science program; contribute to the
supervision of postgraduate students; maintain an active research
program and make a contribution to the administrative load.

Essential Selection Criteria: Relevant doctoral degree; an established
research program as demonstrated by publications in high impact journal
within an area of Earth System Science focusing on, or with application
to, the terrestrial component; ability to communicate effectively across
all levels of tertiary level teaching; experience in university
teaching.

Desirable Selection Criteria: Interest in the modelling of terrestrial
systems at scales appropriate to climate models; competitiveness for
external research grants; evidence of an interest in innovative teaching
approaches.

Enquiries: Associate Professor Richard de Dear on (02) 9850 7582 or

The position is available from January 2005 on a full-time (fixed-term)
basis for a period of five years and may be subject to probationary
conditions.  Selection criteria must be addressed in the application.

Salary range: Level B (Lecturer) - $71,903 to $85,263 pa, including
base salary $60,759 to $72,048 pa, 17% employer's superannuation and
annual leave loading.
