Postdoctoral Research Fellow

University of Exeter - Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy

This new full-time post is a 47-month fixed-term appointment based on Streatham campus. There may be the possibility for flexible start/finish times, depending on project needs.

The post

The Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the ESRC funded Governing Sustainable Futures (GSF) project. The project will investigate place-based sustainability contestations related to environmental governance, which raise important issues about how sustainability transitions are governed at different geographic scales, the ways in which past conflicts shape present-day contestation, and the types and levels of engagement appropriate for engaging different stakeholders. Examples of such contestations may include: low traffic neighbourhoods and low emissions zones, land-use change. The successful applicant will play a key role in developing new understandings of place-based sustainability ‘flashpoints’.

The post will include co-designing and co-delivering a range of participatory approaches that address both local and non-local attributes of sustainability conflicts and produce tools to unlock potentially transformative sustainability outcomes. You will work with an inter-disciplinary team of human geographers and political scientists at Exeter.

About you

Applicants will possess a relevant PhD or equivalent qualification/experience in a related field of study. The successful applicant will be a nationally recognised authority in Environment and Sustainability research and ideally possess knowledge of participatory approaches to public and stakeholder engagement. Applicants will be confident to use cutting edge qualitative research and mixed methods techniques that foreground participatory and co-productive approaches, along with media analysis of sustainability flashpoints. This will involve the running of workshops, in conjunction with delivery partners, with a range of relevant actors.
