Lecturer in Geophysics (Teaching & Research)

The School Physical, Chemical and Environmental Sciences is looking to appoint a fixed-term Lecturer in Geophysics who will join the Department Earth and Environmental Sciences.

The successful candidate should share our passion for high quality research and research-led education and will contribute to a range of undergraduate Earth and Environmental Science teaching including lectures and workshops, geoscience practical classes and fieldwork, and supervision of undergraduate and taught postgraduate research and placement projects in both Cardiff University and Cardiff University Kazakhstan. You will also co-supervise postgraduate research students. The successful candidate will demonstrate evidence of the ability to develop and sustain an internationally-recognised, externally-funded research programme in geophysics. We are particularly interested in hiring academics who can develop synergies within our existing research portfolio and whose research includes at least one of the following: (1) geophysics as applied to the green energy transition, geo-energy, geo-hazards and the management of Earth resources; and (2) development and/or application of geophysical methods, including computational, observational, and theoretical approaches.

The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences is a lively and dynamic community that aims to promote sustainability through education, dissemination and direct participation, enabling students and staff to make positive changes to our environmental impact, in particular supporting Cardiff University’s declaration of a Climate Emergency and aim to become carbon neutral (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2030.

The Department is committed to promoting equality, diversity, inclusion and anti-racism including the Athena SWAN charter for promoting inclusive working practices in STEMM subjects in higher education. We particularly welcome female applicants and those from an ethnic minority because they are under-represented within the Department.

Please contact Professor Rupert Perkins (perkinsr@cardiff.ac.uk; Head of Department) or Dr Henrik Sass (sassh@crdif.ac.uk; Programme Lead) for an informal, confidential discussion about the role.

This is a full-time post (35 hours per week), available immediately, initially fixed-term for two years.

Salary: £41,064 - £46,049 per annum (Grade 6)

Cardiff University is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity and to creating an inclusive working environment. We believe this can be achieved through attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse range of staff from many different backgrounds. We therefore welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of sex, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, trans identity, relationship status, religion or belief, caring responsibilities, or age. We especially welcome and encourage applications from those under-represented groups within the University workforce, such as those who identify as LGBT+, Ethnic Minority or those with disabilities. In supporting our employees to achieve a balance between their work and their personal lives, we will also consider proposals for flexible working or job share arrangements.

Applications may be submitted in Welsh, and an application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application submitted in English.

Cardiff University is a signatory to the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which means that in hiring and promotion decisions we will evaluate applicants on the quality of their research, not publication metrics or the identity of the journal in which the research is published.

Mae Prifysgol Caerdydd wedi ymrwymo i gefnogi a hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb ac amrywiaeth a chreu gweithle cynhwysol. Rydym o’r farn bod modd gwneud hyn drwy ddenu, datblygu a chadw ystod amrywiol o bobl o lawer o gefndiroedd gwahanol. Felly, rydym yn croesawu ceisiadau gan bobl o bob rhan o’r gymuned, beth bynnag fo’u rhyw, eu hethnigrwydd, eu hanabledd, eu cyfeiriadedd rhywiol, eu hunaniaeth draws, statws eu perthynas, eu crefydd neu eu cred, eu cyfrifoldebau gofalu neu eu hoedran. Rydym yn croesawu ac yn annog ceisiadau yn arbennig gan y rhai o grwpiau nad ydynt wedi’u cynrychioli’n ddigonol o fewn gweithlu'r Brifysgol, fel y rhai sy'n uniaethu fel LGBT+, o gefndiroedd ethnig leiafrifol neu'r rhai ag anableddau. Er mwyn helpu ein cyflogeion i sicrhau cydbwysedd rhwng eu gwaith a’u bywydau personol, byddwn hefyd yn ystyried cynigion i weithio’n hyblyg neu rannu swydd.

Caniateir i geisiadau gael eu cyflwyno yn Gymraeg, ac ni fydd cais a gyflwynir yn y Gymraeg yn cael ei drin yn llai ffafriol na chais a gyflwynir yn Saesneg.

Mae Prifysgol Caerdydd wedi llofnodi Datganiad ar Asesu Ymchwil (DORA) San Francisco, sy'n golygu y byddwn, wrth wneud penderfyniadau cyflogi a dyrchafu, yn gwerthuso ymgeiswyr ar sail safon eu hymchwil, nid ar sail metrigau cyhoeddi na'r cyfnodolyn y mae'r ymchwil wedi’i chyhoeddi ynddo.
