Research Assistantship: Governance and Regulation in Local Environmental Policy Making

This is a three year post to work with Professor David Gibbs and Dr. Andy Jonas on an 
ESRC-funded project entitled 'Governance and Regulation in Local Environmental Policy Making'. 
 The post will involve assembling qualitative and quantitative materials relating to economic 
development and environmental policy in local areas and assisting with interviews with policy 
makers and other relevant individuals and organisations.

You should have a good first degree in a related area and a Ph.D. in a social science discipline 
would be preferred.  It would be an advantage to have a familiarity with the social science 
literature on governance and local economic development and/or a knowledge of environmental 
policy. Experience of interviewing senior policy makers would also be useful.  The research will 
involve undertaking surveys in various parts of the UK, so an ability to drive is essential, as is 
the possession of a full, clean driving licence.

Salary

Salary within the range 15,735-17,570 pounds sterling.  The post is available from 1 March or as 
soon as possible thereafter.
