Job Title: Postdoctoral Research Associate on 'UK Fruit and Veg Resilience Project'

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our interdisciplinary team at the University of Reading, working on the 'UK Fruit and Veg Resilience Project'. This project aims to assess the resilience of the UK fruit and vegetable system, including current and future scenarios, and identify potential resilience-building interventions.

The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and facilitating workshops to map systemic risks to UK F&V value chains, including interactions between environmental factors, socio-economic shocks, and geo-political shocks. They will also work to collate evidence statements that enable conversion of these scenarios into specific shock values relevant for the modelling in subsequent work packages.

The project team consists of four other PDRAs and several PhD students, academic leads from the University of Reading, University of Oxford, and Northumbria University, as well as project partners including government agencies, industry bodies, and F&V producers.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD in a relevant field, experience liaising with varied stakeholders, academic literature synthesis and writing skills, knowledge of food system resilience, and a motivation to engage in systems approaches to understand complex risks.

The University of Reading is committed to having a diverse and inclusive workforce, supports the gender equality Athena SWAN Charter and the Race Equality Charter, and champions LGBT+ equality. Applications for job-share, part-time, and flexible working arrangements are welcomed and will be considered in line with business needs.

The project will support visa fee and healthcare surcharge for international applicants.
