The closing date for applications are the 25 October and the 31 October 2021.

CUSP research partner CES at the University of Surrey is seeking to appoint outstanding research leaders to new roles of Professor of Sustainable Food Systems and Professor of Net Zero Carbon Energy System. The appointments are being made as part of the University’s creation of a cross-institution, multi-disciplinary Institute for Sustainability.

Sustainable Food Systems

With food being a major theme of the Institute’s work—and with Surrey being recognised internationally for excellence across the spectrum of food research, including the award of a Queen’s Anniversary Prize in 2017/18—theSustainable Food Systems appointee will adopt a holistic, systems approach in leading the strategic development of food sustainability research at the University, spanning the natural, physical, and social sciences. Applicants from across the natural, physical, and social sciences are welcomed: the successful candidate will be a member of the University’s renowned Centre for Environment & Sustainability, which will be integral to the new Institute, and of another academic School or Department at Surrey that best fits their disciplinary background.

Net Zero Carbon Energy System

Within the overall net zero energy systems analysis field, CES is open to a broad range of approaches and/or focus, and welcomes discussion with applicants for the professorship of Net Zero Carbon Energy Systems about their preferred avenue. Applicants with biomass expertise are particularly encouraged, as biomass is expected to play key roles in the transition to net zero carbon energy systems in both developed and developing economies.
