Academic Researcher in Food System Resilience
1 month ago
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced researcher to join our interdisciplinary team at the University of Reading. The successful candidate will work on a project aimed at assessing the resilience of the UK fruit and vegetable system and identifying potential interventions to enhance its resilience.
Project OverviewThe project, led by the University of Reading, brings together a large team of researchers from various disciplines to study the resilience of the UK F&V system. Our goal is to develop a deeper understanding of the systemic risks and transformation pathways that affect this critical food system.
The first phase of the project will focus on co-developing scenarios for potential F&V system transformation with key policy partners and industry contacts. This will involve 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.
The successful candidate will work closely with other team members to collate evidence statements that enable conversion of these scenarios into specific shock values relevant for modelling in subsequent work packages. They will also help assess broad interventions to increase resilience and screen these with policy partners in terms of their potential to provide wins in terms of enhancing both short and long-term resilience.
RequirementsTo be considered for this role, you will need to have a PhD in a relevant field or equivalent attainment. You should possess strong academic literature synthesis and writing skills, as well as knowledge of food system resilience. A motivation to engage in systems approaches to understand complex risks is essential.
In addition, we offer a competitive salary range of £30,000 - £40,000 per annum, depending on experience. The university will also support visa fees and healthcare surcharge for international applicants.
About UsThe University of Reading is a world-leading research-intensive university with a strong reputation for excellence in teaching and research. Our location provides easy access to London and the M4 corridor, making us an attractive option for those looking to balance academic and personal life.
