University of Exeter, Research Fellow Life and Environmental Sciences 2011 in UK

/ February 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

Fixed term contract for 18 months commencing on 1 April 2011

We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow on the project “Conditioning Demand – Older People, Diversity and Thermal Experience” which is led by University of Manchester in collaboration with Exeter, Cardiff and Lancaster Universities. The Exeter element of the project is led by Professor Patrick Devine-Wright in the Geography department within the College of Life and Environment Sciences. The project is part of the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council’s People, Energy and Buildings programme.

The postholder will primarily be involved in devising, undertaking and reporting the findings of field research in the Devon area. This work will feed into the project’s main research aim, which is to better understand the diversity and dynamics of thermal experiences in the ageing populations of the UK and France. The project team will conduct empirical research on ageing populations and energy-efficient technologies in the UK and France to understand how comfort is shaped by both social and material factors.

We are seeking candidates with a relevant PhD and research experience. Candidates should have excellent research skills particularly in qualitative methods, be able to work independently and collaboratively across disciplinary boundaries and be able to conduct fieldwork in the region. Ideally you should also have experience of working on energy technologies and/or ageing populations.

Informal enquiries can be made to Professor Patrick Devine-Wright.

The University of Exeter is an equal opportunity employer and promotes diversity in its workforce and, whilst all applicants will be judged on merit alone, is particularly keen to consider applications from groups currently underrepresented in the workforce.

Application Deadline: 1st April 2011
