Professor of Mining Engineering

Following its incorporation into the University of Exeter in 1994 and its more recent relocation to a new, state-of-the-art campus near Falmouth, Cornwall, the Camborne School of Mines has continued to build on its international reputation for the quality of its research and teaching. CSM has been training mining engineers since 1888 and today offers a unique combination of expertise in geology, mining and renewable energy.

• Internationally recognized research encompasses mining-related fields as diverse as health and safety, new blasting and monitoring techniques, geomechanics, mineral process technology and applied mineralogy, with particular emphasis on responsible mining and sustainable development
• Interdisciplinary work is very much encouraged and the multidisciplinary renewable energy group links engineering and physical sciences to policy and economics research.
• We now wish to further strengthen the School with the appointment an internationally recognised researcher with interests in the broad area of mining engineering
• S/he will be expected to provide research leadership, to secure major funding to support research, to disseminate research findings and to supervise post-doctoral, postgraduate and undergraduate research projects
• The successful applicant will be required to contribute to teaching across the range of undergraduate and graduate level programmes. 
• High value is placed on links with the mining industry and we would be pleased to consider candidates from outside academia provided that they have substantial research experience and a demonstrable ability to make successful project proposals and produce high quality written output.
