***********************************************
Research Fellow in the Political Economy of Transport Provision
Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a background in economics, political economy, transport studies, economic geography or ecological economics? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?
You will participate in a radical and visionary Leverhulme Research Leadership project “Living Well Within Limits (LiLi)” awarded to Dr Julia Steinberger, aiming to understand how energy use relates to human well-being with the focus being on the provisioning systems of transport across multiple countries. The research project will compare and evaluate the performance of different systems of transport provision, enabling the identification of systems that are able to provide sufficient services to meet universal needs while moving away from energy intensive provision.
You will be working in collaboration with other researchers within the LiLi project within the School of Earth and Environment’s Sustainability Research Institute (SRI) and will also be a member of a cross-faculty research group concerned with political economy of technology and infrastructure, coordinated by Professor Andrew Brown of the Economics Division of Leeds University Business School. There will also be opportunities to contribute to wider research and teaching initiatives across the School of Earth and Environment, Faculty of Environment, and University.
The research consists in in depth analysis of the systems that provision transport in at least three countries, highlighting performance in terms of access, affordability and equity, and effectiveness in terms of human need satisfaction. You should have (or be close to obtaining) a PhD in the field of economics, political economy or economic geography, the social science of energy systems, or a closely allied discipline and a strong background in a relevant field of economics, political economy, or economic geography. You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to communicate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders.
