Call for new members and Chair to join the NERC facilities steering committees

The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) underpins its commitment to excellence in environmental research with the provision of access to high quality facilities. BGS manages a subset of the NERC facilities on behalf of NERC and relies on advice from the science community to manage and govern the facilities and ensure that they support high-quality science.

We are looking for new members to join NERC’s facilities steering committees over the next four years. The four facilities within this call are:

• Geophysical Equipment Facility (GEF)
• Ion Microprobe Facility (IMF)
• National Environmental Isotope Facility (NEIF)
• NERC Environmental Omics Facility (NEOF)

GEF is particularly interested in recruiting new committee members in seismics and geomorphology.

We are additionally looking to recruit a new Chair for the NEOF steering committee to be appointed in 2026.

Expressions of interest must be submitted by the deadline – extended to 17:00 on 2 April 2026.
