Dear Colleagues,
Durham University has recently launched a new Research Fellowship scheme for
early career researchers with signficant research experience to join our
academic community. The scheme is open to researchers who have not spent
more than 12 months in the UK in the past three years. Research Fellows will
be based at one of the University's Institutes - full details about the
scheme are available here: http://www.dur.ac.uk/ias/diferens/junior/
We would very much welcome applications to the hold a Fellowship at the
Durham Energy Institute.Currently, we are developing our interdisciplinary
energy research in five key areas:
- Reconfiguring energy demand (we have a particular strength in the
emergence of smart grids, practices of energy consumption, and issues of
energy poverty and justice)
- Low carbon cities and communities
- Clean electricity futures (production and consumption of low-carbon
electriticy, including solar, wind, micro-hydro)
- Energy for Development
- Emerging energy technologies: risks and security (with specific specialty
in areas of biofuels and CCS)
I would be very grateful if you could pass on information about this
opportunity through your networks. As this is the first year of the scheme
and we have only recently been awarded the funding, the timetable is tight
and the deadline for applications (supported by a Durham host) is August
10th. Interested applicants should contact an academic within the University
to host their research project, but either myself or Richard Davies,
Director of DEI, will be happy to assist with this process (contact:

We will be running this scheme in future years, and would be delighted to
hear from those interested in developing applications for future years as
well.
