Dear all, I am recruiting a research fellow in environmental social science to work with me at Dublin City University. This 2-year post in the is funded by Ireland’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and will support the development, writing and production of Ireland’s first Five Year Assessment Report on Climate Change.
The report will provide an authoritative assessment of our understanding of climate change in an Irish context. The report will be provided in a series of four thematic volumes with an overarching synthesis report. Three of the four volumes will reflect the structures used by the IPCC in addressing fundamental scientific understanding, adaptation to climate change and mitigation of climate change. The fourth volume will focus on realising the benefits of the required transition and transformation arising from climate change. Funding has been provided by the EPA to DCU to lead the writing of Volume 4, “Realising the benefits of transition and transformation”. The successful candidate will work with me to research, develop, and deliver this volume of the report. The volume will explore how the transition to a climate resilient and climate neutral economy and society can be facilitated, including the role of relevant enabling conditions across the domains of (i) governance and policy, (ii) finance and economy, and (iii) society, engagement and education, among other relevant fields. Applicants should have a PhD in environmental social science with a focus on climate change. Applicants should also have a minimum of 4 years’ relevant postdoctoral research experience or equivalent.
