The role

The School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol invites applications for a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Glaciology. We seek a candidate who can join the dynamic team at the Bristol Glaciology Centre to complement our existing strengths in ice sheet and mountain glacier modelling, remote sensing, microbiology, biogeochemistry, and glacier hydrology.

The cohesive group culture within the Bristol Glaciology Centre promotes career development through research and support to develop your teaching portfolio. To aid this, we have strong partnerships across the School of Geographical Sciences, the Science and Engineering faculty at Bristol, and with cross-disciplinary research units such as the Cabot Institute for the Environment and our data sciences centre, the Jean Golding Institute.
