To provide cover for an internal secondment the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Cardiff University, is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Past Climates and Earth System Change.

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 geology practical classes and fieldwork.

The School is committed to promoting equality and diversity, including the Athena SWAN charter for promoting inclusive working practices in STEMM subjects in higher education.

Staff and students from the School are active members of the global Unlearning Racism in Geoscience (URGE) community. We particularly welcome female applicants and those from an ethnic minority because they are under-represented within the School.
