We have multiple openings for post-doctoral researchers at the Sussex Sustainability Research Programme, University of Sussex, Brighton UK. www.sussex.ac.uk/ssrp<http://www.sussex.ac.uk/ssrp> The Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP) is a cross-campus research programme by the University of Sussex and the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) that aims to address complex socio-economic, technical and environmental challenges and develop problem-focused research across disciplines in the natural and social sciences. SSRP supports the sustainability of life on Earth through rigorous interdisciplinary research which influences policy and stimulates action. The SSRP brings together researchers from the Schools of Business Management and Economics (BMEc), Global Studies (GS), Law Politics and Sociology (LPS), and Life Sciences (LIFESCI).

Expected Interview date: mid-June 2017 The research unit 'Debt and Environmental Sustainability (DES)' within the Sussex Sustainability Research Project (SSRP) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher who will perform research at the interface of global debt and environmental sustainability using applied statistical methods. This project is funded by SSRP and is led by researchers in the Department of International Relations, Department of Geography and the Institute of Development Studies. The researcher will work in close collaboration with the DES research team to assimilate existing large datasets, create new public datasets and deliver a number of high-impact publications. http://www.sussex.ac.uk/about/jobs/postdoctoral-research-fellow-1961 For any further information and informal inquiry please contact: Dr Andreas Antoniades: a.a.antonia...@sussex.ac.uk<mailto:a.a.antonia...@sussex.ac.uk> Research Fellow in Environmental Modelling School/department: School of Global Studies, Department of Geography Hours: full time Contract: fixed term until 30 June 2019 Reference: 2049 Salary: starting at £32,004 and rising to £38,183 per annum Closing date: 19 June 2017. Applications must be received by midnight of the closing date. Expected interview date: June 2017 Expected start date: 1 July 2017 Applications are invited for a Research Fellowship to work with Professor Joseph Alcamo on an interdisciplinary project funded by the Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP), a collaborative initiative by the University of Sussex and Institute of Development Studies to develop interdisciplinary research in sustainability. Entitled "global modelling of health risks associated with conventional and unconventional river pollution" the project will develop and apply a first version of a global model that estimates the number of people exposed to different types of health risks from river pollution. This new exposure model will become part of an existing continental-scale model of river pollution, "WorldQUAL". The new exposure model will be used to estimate the public health risks of river pollution at different locations in a worldwide river network, with an accent on developing countries. http://www.sussex.ac.uk/about/jobs/research-fellow-geography-2049 Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Alcamo (joseph.alc...@sussex.ac.uk<mailto:joseph.alc...@sussex.ac.uk>).
