4 months ago


Greenwich, United Kingdom University of Greenwich Full time

The Natural Resources Institute (NRI) (www.nri.org) is an internationally renowned multi-disciplinary centre of the University of Greenwich that undertakes research, consultancy and training to support sustainable development, food security, economic growth and poverty reduction in developing countries. 

The Livelihoods and Institutions Department at the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher in Peace-Centred Development to contribute to the development and delivery of high-quality research on various aspects of peace-centred development and socially-just futures. This position is linked to a UKRI-funded Prosperity and Peace Pathways Project. 

The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic team working on cutting-edge research that explores the intersections between prosperity, peace, climate change and social justice. He/she will come from a social science background with experience working on projects related to conflict, peace, development and social justice, preferably in low-income settings. In addition, the candidate will have strong research and analytical skills, with experience in qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as experience in using different knowledge co-creation tools.  

The candidate will bring a wealth of both academic and practitioner knowledge into the project, assisting the PI in analysing new data emerging from the Project’s Citizen Labs (which are currently operational in Chad, Niger and Nigeria), including delivering activities around scenario-based forecasting and backcasting, prosperity-peace pathway modelling and SDG localisation. 

The role is suited for someone who is:

  • Capable of using innovative social science data gathering approaches that are inclusive, participatory and deliberative, such as Young Citizen Panels, Consensus Conferences and Local Citizen Labs. 
  • Comfortable with desk-based work and skilled in extracting, filtering, querying and analysing large amounts of information from literature materials on conflict, fragility, prosperity, peace, complex emergency and the environment, and from other sources such as the news media, case studies, historic texts and encyclopaedias.
  • Capable of working with project colleagues and collaborators to publish excellent academic papers and build upon ideas in published papers to foster knowledge transfer and impact through production of podcasts, policy briefs, opinion pieces, videos and pieces of artistic expression.
  • Eager to explore new ways of knowledge exchange and evidence synthesis in emerging areas linked to conflict transformation, peace-centred development and socially-just futures.
  • Looking to build networks across the scientific and practitioner communities in areas such as climate security, environmental peacebuilding, environmental stewardship and sustainable development.
  • Eager to contribute to the research profile of the Natural Resources Institute and its submissions to the Research Excellence Framework. 

The successful candidates will be highly ambitious and have knowledge of interdisciplinary, applied research related to peace-centred development and socially-just futures, with a focus on sustainable livelihoods, conflict transformation, peacebuilding and institutional arrangements for creating equitable, inclusive and sustainable societies that prioritise the well-being and rights of all people. He/she will be able to coordinate analysis of large datasets; and a hard worker, who is eager to learn and be trained, seeking out and considering different knowledge systems, with good judgement about when to use initiative and when to consult, and consistently performing at a high level.
