The Department of Geography, King’s College London, invites applications for the post of Professor of Geocomputation to further our investment in strengthening and deepening our research profile in this area, and in the student experience. We seek internationally-distinguished applicants with an outstanding track-record in research, publications, funding, leadership and teaching.

Work in domains that have clear and present policy relevance or have a demonstrable impact on wider society are especially welcome.

The appointed candidate will promote and advance high-quality teaching and learning through curriculum development and the management, delivery and monitoring of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
