Dear colleagues, I wanted to provide advance notice of a key new post in the UK that will be advertised in the first week of September - Professor of Transport Studies. This senior full-time appointment (starting in Spring 2009) is intended to complement and build upon the existing strength of the Centre for Transport & Society at the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE). The disciplinary focus of the new post has, quite deliberately, not been specifically defined. We are keen to entertain a broad scope of possibility - relating especially, to the application of social sciences to transport (economics, political science, psychology, sociology, geography). I will circulate further news on this in September and would be only too pleased to hear from prospective applicants. Best wishes, Glenn ___________________________________________________ Professor Glenn Lyons Centre for Transport & Society Faculty of Environment and Technology University of the West of England Frenchay Campus BRISTOL BS16 1QY Tel 0117 32 83219 Mobile 07748 768404 Fax 0117 32 83899 Email Glenn.Lyons@uwe.ac.uk Web www.transport.uwe.ac.uk Office location - 4Q61 International Network http://www.geo.uu.nl/mobilizingICT ___________________________________________________
