Research Fellow in Quantitative Social Science for Climate Services

3 months ago


Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a background in quantitative social science? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK's leading research intensive Universities?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a researcher to conduct research on European climate services using quantitative social science approaches. This position is part of the Horizon Europe project 'Adaptation-oriented Seamless Predictions of European ClimaTe' (ASPECT).

The ASPECT project will produce a step change in the information provided for European decision makers, planners and practitioners tailored to support improved resilience to future climate and weather. The project will be delivered by a consortium of European climate specialists with a balance of physical science (prediction, projection and impacts) and social science (user engagement, climate services, communication). There is a focus on users of climate information, including enabling them to influence the development of underpinning science and the design of a delivery system.

This post will be based at the University of Leeds and will involve coordinating and managing, together with the PI (Prof. Suraje Dessai) and CoI (Dr Andrea Taylor), a work package whose aim is to increase the usability of novel seasonal to decadal (S2D) climate information for adaptation using social science methods to: 1) better understand how climate information and knowledge can help organisations prepare for and take action to reduce the physical risks from a changing climate; 2) facilitate the interactions between ASPECT climate scientists and users of S2D climate information (including intermediaries) through annual multi-sector user forums; 3) understand whether and how S2D climate information developed in ASPECT can be scaled up.

What we offer in return

  • 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That's 42 days a year
  • Generous pension scheme plus life assurance– the University contributes 14.5% of salary
  • Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
  • Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team.
  • Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes are also available.

And much more
