Postdoctoral researcher posts, London and Birmingham: anticipating the future energy demands of post retirement travel.
Fixed term 15 months; salary in the range of ca. £28,000-32,700 p.a.
Closing date June 11th; starting date September 1st or ASAP after (both posts)
We are inviting applications for two 15 month, full time research posts attached to a new RCUK funded project which forms part of the DEMAND Centre (Dynamics of Energy, Mobility and Demand: see www.demand.ac.uk). One researcher will be based at University College London (Geography) with Dr Russell Hitchings, and one at the University of Birmingham (Geography Earth and Environmental Sciences) with Dr Rosie Day; however the team will work collaboratively. Both researchers will be engaged in qualitative, interview based research with retired and soon to be retired individuals to explore their actual and aspirational leisure travel practices in retirement and older age. We are looking for confident, skilled researchers with a PhD or equivalent in a relevant social science area (e.g. social gerontology, mobility, energy geography..) who can work across disciplines. Experience in in-depth interviewing and analysis is essential, as are strong writing skills. We expect the researchers to take an active role in the project from development to the authoring of outputs; non-academic engagement and ‘impact’ activities will also be an important aspect of the work. There will be opportunities for conference work and to join the activities of the wider DEMAND Centre. We aim for these posts to be excellent career development opportunities for the right candidates.
DEMAND is a 5 year, multi-partner major research centre funded by the ESRC and EPSRC with support from EDF, Transport for London and the International Energy Agency. It is led by Professor Elizabeth Shove, with Professors Gordon Walker and Greg Marsden.
Informal enquiries about these posts may be made to Dr Russell Hitchings (UCL post) 020 7679 0508, [log in to unmask] or Dr Rosie Day (Birmingham post) 0121 414 8096, [log in to unmask]
Closing date June 11th
