Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Food System

2 months ago


Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Food System Environmental Modelling on an ESRC funded project to model the environmental and health co-benefits of food system behavioural interventions, working to understand the benefits and consequences that different food system interventions may have at the UK system scale and for whom they work. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in a large multi-disciplinary collaboration named SALIENT: Food System Trials for Impact on Environment, Nutrition, and Health. SALIENT is an ambitious cross-university research consortium supported by DEFRA, FSA, DLUHC, DHSC, and DfE. The goal of SALIENT is to implement behavioural interventions in real-world settings with food system partners, and then investigate how these interventions might scale to deliver benefits and impacts at the system-scale. SALIENT aims to deliver evidence on the interventions that work to shift behaviour towards healthier and more sustainable outcomes, for whom these interventions work, and in what settings they work. This position is an integral role in SALIENT, as it will scale up evidence gained during the behavioural interventions to the entire UK system, investigating their potential system-wide benefits and consequences on environment and health.
