VACANCY: Research Associate

We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher with experience of applying qualitative systems science or complexity methods (for example systems thinking, group model building, process tracing, contribution analysis or, future analysis methods) to public health, social policy and/or environmental sustainability research.

In the first instance, the candidate will contribute to two large-scale interdisciplinary research programmes: GALLANT is a £10.2 Million NERC-funded research programme that works closely with Glasgow City Council and other partners to help maximise health and social equity co-benefits from climate solutions implemented during the just transition to NetZero.

The post holder will co-produce research with our policy and practice partners, with a focus on understanding policy levers, opportunities, and potential intended and unintended policy effects. In the first year, the postholder will also have the opportunity to contribute to SIPHER, which researches the health equity impacts of income and housing polices. SIPHER is in its final year of funding, so the postholder could support the delivery of research that is already underway, and the production of policy-facing and academic outputs.

You will have a strong background in systems approaches and experience of communicating research findings to a range of academic and non-academic audiences. You will be able to demonstrate interest in and awareness of the nexus of climate change, health inequalities and/or social justice issues and will have engaged with practitioners or decision-makers in applied policy contexts.

This fixed-term post will be line managed by Prof Petra Meier, SIPHER Director and GALLANT co-lead. Informal enquiries are welcome to petra.meier@glasgow.ac.uk

 

Closing Date: 3 July 2024

Salary will be Grade 7, £39,347 - £44,263 per annum.

This post is full time on a fixed term contract and has funding for 24 months.
