Durham Law School and the Department of Economics seek to appoint an Assistant Professor in Law and Economics (Research & Education) as part of a strategic investment in Durham's Centre for Sustainable Development Law and Policy: Just Transitions to a Net Zero World (JusTN0W).

The ambitious and interdisciplinary initiative JusTN0W is funded by a £5 million investment that will see seven academic staff appointed to lead Durham's commitment to a better and fairer world in the face of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation.

Our initiative brings together academic colleagues across Law, Economics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences to advance the knowledge and the implementation of just transitions to net zero at international, national and local levels.

The work programme comprises four strands of work. Each strand sets forth a range of objectives, including grant capture activity and engagement with different partners. More information on JusTN0W can be found here JusTN0W - Durham University.

You will be joining an interdisciplinary team of colleagues at an exciting moment where we are shaping and developing cutting-edge research and impact agenda to attract sustainable research funding and leverage research capacity.

We build on existing links into international governance frameworks such as the Conferences of Parties (COPs) under the umbrella of the international climate change regime.

By collaborating and harnessing expertise across disciplines, the JusTN0W initiative will support your groundbreaking solutions to address the climate crisis.

Assistant Professors on the Education and Research track are encouraged to focus on research and teaching but are also expected to engage in wider citizenship to enhance their own development, support their department and discipline, and contribute to the wider student experience.

Applicants must demonstrate high quality research in the field of law and/or economics, with the ability to research at the intersection of these areas and to teach our students to an exceptional standard and to fully engage in the services, citizenship and values of the University.

This post is an exciting opportunity to make a major contribution to the development of internationally excellent research and teaching while allowing you unrivalled opportunities to progress and embed your career in an exciting and progressive department.
