Research Assistant or Fellow in Economic Valuation of Coastal Zone Environments
2 months ago
Fixed Term Contract until 31 July 2025
Research Assistant (if close to completing PhD): £34,450 per annum
Research Fellow (if PhD obtained): £37,337 to £39,316 per annum
We welcome applications from passionate individuals to contribute to our research on the economics of coastal ecosystems.
About the Role
The Cranfield Environment Centre at Cranfield University is looking for an enthusiastic and talented post-doctoral research fellow to work on an exciting NERC project called “Resilient coasts: optimising co-benefit solutions (Co-Opt)”, being funded under NERC’s Sustainable Management of UK Marine Resources programme.
The coast is a dynamic zone where the sea and communities interact, bringing both benefits and risks. Over 1.8 million homes in England are at risk from coastal flooding and erosion, threats that will intensify with climate change. To address this, nature-based solutions, such as coastal habitats and wetlands, are increasingly needed. You will collaborate with an interdisciplinary team and stakeholders to develop an economic modeling framework to assess the costs and benefits of nature-based coastal defenses. This framework will be applied to case studies, guiding sustainable coastal management and highlighting ecosystem services' role.
About You
Ideally, you will be educated to doctoral level in a relevant subject in applying economic analysis in land use or ecosystem services valuation, with demonstrable applied experience in environmental economics and quantitative economic research. You will be motivated to use existing economic models and develop new quantitative economic modelling tools to assess coastal zone management options. Excellent modelling skills, particularly in Excel, will be needed. Preferably, you will have some experience of applying social science methods, to support development of questionnaires, undertake qualitative interviews, and run stakeholder workshops, in order to investigate how social perceptions, support, and concerns might vary between grey and green coastal management options. You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
