From: Karis McLaughlin
Research Fellow in Global Assessment of Water Security
School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford
Grade 8: £37,756 - £45,053 p.a.
The Environmental Change Institute (ECI) is seeking to appoint a Research
Fellow to join our major research programme on water security. Our research
on water security takes a multi-scale approach, analysing global risks and
exploring how pathways to water security can be appraised and implemented at
the river basin scale. We address droughts, floods and water quality in an
integrated risk-based approach. The Research Fellow will pioneer new
analysis of risks and develop metrics.
We are seeking to appoint an experienced water researcher with a strong
track record of publication in the scientific literature and a genuine
motivation to address water challenges of global significance. The applicant
may come from a hydrological, water resources systems or water economics,
with experience of modelling at a range of scales, ideally including
regional and global scales. The postholder must hold a Doctorate or have
equivalent research experience in a relevant subject. The Research Fellow
will be expected to take initiative in design and implementation of research
and publication of results. There will be opportunities to contribute to
teaching to the School’s Master’s programmes.
This is a senior position aimed at candidates with an outstanding specialist
abilities and research track record, so the advertised Grade 8 reflects this
level of responsibility. We will also consider candidates at an earlier
career stage with a strong research track record and outstanding research
potential, and in that case a post may be offered at Grade 7 (£29,837 -
£36,661 p.a.) with the responsibilities adjusted accordingly.
This is a fixed-term post for up to 18 months in the first instance, with
the intention to extend to 24 months subject to satisfactory project
progress.
You will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement when you apply.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 11 August 2014.
Interviews will be held on 5 September 2014.
The job description and person specification is attached to this email.
