Subject: PROFESSOR IN AQUATIC/ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Applications are invited for the position of Professor in the Department of
Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Science at UTS. The position has been
established as part of a strategic partnership with a leading Technology
Consultant, Sinclair Knight Merz Pty Ltd which is co-sponsoring the Chair.
The Department of Environmental Sciences, which currently has 18 academic
staff, has a strong commitment to teaching and an expanding profile in
research and consultancy.  The appointment of a Professor in
aquatic/environmental science is sought to further strengthen the teaching
and, in particular, the research activities of the Department.  It is
expected that for the first two or three years of appointment that the
Professor would be heavily involved in enhancing the research activity
within the Department.  The Professor should also be willing to serve at
some time as Head of Department or Dean of the Faculty in order to play a
broad role in University government.  

Applicants must have an established and distinguished record in a clearly
identifiable area of Aquatic/Environmental Science, preferably closely
aligned to one or more of Ecotoxicology, Aquatic Biology or Environmental
Bioscience.  Applicants should also have an extensive current publication
record, have considerable experience in the supervision of an active
research group and demonstrable success in obtaining significant external
research grants.  It would be expected that the successful applicant would
have had major success through funding bodies such as the Australian
Research Council but the ability to establish and operate collaborative
research and development ventures with industry would be viewed most
favourably given the strong links that UTS has established with industry.
Prior experience of liaison with industry would be most desirable.  The
Department currently has research and consultancy activity in several areas
of environmental sciences including aquatic and terrestial biology, a joint
Centre for Ecotoxicology with the EPA, coastal resource management, GIS and
remote sensing, environmental horticulture and earth sciences.  The Faculty
would welcome applications from persons who can demonstrate an ability to
develop existing research strengths and/or establish significant new and
complementary research areas which may draw generally on the facilities of
the Faculty and Department and the expertise of its present members.  The
Department has good laboratory facilities and field equipment including
boats and off-road vehicles and has full access to an extensive array of
state-of-the-art analytical equipment within the Faculty.

Applicants must have a commitment to excellence in both teaching and research.

Professor Rod Buckney (Phone +61-2-95144092, e-mail rod.buckney@uts.edu.au)
