Job Overview

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to assist on an Economics and Social Research Council funded project titled The International Relations of Tropical storms in the Caribbean.

As a Senior Researcher in International Security, you will work closely with Dr Nicholas Michelsen to study the international relations of tropical storms in the Caribbean. Your expertise in International Relations or a closely related discipline will be essential in conducting research on the international politics of Climate Change/Climate Security.

You should have experience in qualitative research methods, such as interviewing, and a willingness to learn how to implement Q-Methodology and field-analysis under the supervision of the PI. Strong academic writing skills and a promising publication record are also required.

Additionally, you should have high competence in interacting with various stakeholders and a track record in research dissemination. Enthusiasm for stakeholder engagement and a strong motivation to contribute to knowledge through high-impact academic research are essential qualities for this role.

This is a PhD-level position, but candidates who have submitted their thesis and are awaiting award of their PhDs will be considered. In these circumstances, the appointment will be made at Grade 5, spine point 30, with the title of Research Assistant. Upon confirmation of the award of the PhD, the job title will become Research Associate and the salary will increase to Grade 6.

Requirements
  • PhD awarded in International Relations or a related discipline
  • Expertise in theoretical debates around climate change
  • Experience in qualitative research methods, including interviewing
  • High competence in academic writing and a promising publication record
  • Experience interacting with various stakeholders and a track record in research dissemination
