> Chair in Social and Urban Change
>
> Faculty of Environment
> School of Geography
> Reference: ENVGE0039
> Closing Date: Friday 3rd August 2012
> The School of Geography's vision is to provide international leadership on major social, political and environmental challenges associated with global change. RAE (2008) ranked the School's research outputs 2nd in the UK based on research power and 6th by GPA, observing that internationally outstanding work is to be found in all the clusters.
> We have three strong human geography research clusters who have distinct but also inter-related research agendas that focus on social and urban change:
> Centre for Spatial Analysis & Policy (CSAP) - population change; geodemography; microsimulation; health; Cities & Social Justice (CSJ) - social justice; consumption; sustainable urban futures; Citizenship & Belonging (C&B) - social identities; human rights; social cohesion; migration & disaporic citizenship.
> We seek a Chair in Social and Urban Change to achieve transformational step change in human geography by realising the potential to bring together C&B/CSAPs expertise in population change and social cohesion and CSJ's reputation for research on urban life to lead an agenda that would have cross-campus interdisciplinary engagement. The post is open to different methodological approaches and substantive areas that complement the School's strengths but the ability to provide research and teaching leadership and to build international and interdisciplinary research networks is a key criterion.

> The salary, which is negotiable, will be within the Professorial range - minimum £59,302 p.a.
