1 month ago


Brighton, Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom Institute of Development Studies Full time

Post Type: Full Time: 35 hours per week

Contract Type: Fixed Term (30 months)

Closing Date: 23.59 hours BST on Friday 31 May 2024

Interview Date: Thursday 06 June 2024

The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) seeks to appoint a Post-Doctoral Researcher (PDR) to join the transdisciplinary CLimate Adaptation and Resilience in Tropical drYlands (CLARITY) research project ). CLARITY is supported by CLARE, a UK-Canada framework research programme on Climate Adaptation and Resilience (CLARE) aiming to enable socially inclusive and sustainable action to build resilience to climate change and natural hazards in Africa and Asia-Pacific ).

PDR posts at IDS provide the opportunity for recent PhD graduates to develop further research experience, in collaboration with and mentored by more senior colleagues. This is seen as a transitional position between a PhD and a longer-term research career. Duties and responsibilities of the role are meant to both address the needs of the project and support the successful candidate's professional and intellectual development as a researcher. The line managers will support the Post-doctoral Researcher to achieve a programme of published work and to identify and pursue suitable future funding opportunities, building up independent fundraising skills. The income target is currently 192 days. The Post-Doctoral Researcher will be a member of a home cluster whose leader and members can be expected to provide broader intellectual support, but who are not responsible for fundraising or career progression.

The PDR position is a fixed-term position, fully funded in Year 1, 75% in Year 2, and 50% in Year 3, as individuals will be expected to pursue funding opportunities to diversify their funding in years 2 and 3. If funding is not secured at the expected level, several supportive steps will be followed, as set out in the PDR policy. With support and training, the aim is for the PDR to develop their own portfolio of work. It is anticipated that for the right candidate this role will eventually lead to the possibility of application to a Fellowship position at IDS, subject to a vacancy arising and meeting the required standards as assessed by the Fellow Review and Promotion Board (FRPB). Post-Doctoral Researchers will have a 'Career Progression Review' towards the end of their two years in post, conducted by a designated small group of IDS research leaders and managers, to take stock of performance and advise on career development prospects. All PDRs are additionally welcome to take advantage of the Institute's mentoring scheme.

The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) delivers world-class research, learning and teaching that transforms the knowledge, action and leadership needed for more equitable and sustainable development globally.
