About the school or department

The Countryside and Community Research Institute (CCRI) (www.ccri.ac.uk) is the largest specialist rural research centre in the UK, having expertise in all aspects of research in policy and planning for the countryside and the environment of the UK, Europe and further afield. We are a vibrant research community and our research has been judged as internationally significant, rigorous, and high quality by the Research Excellence Framework. 

About the role

This post will support the project PI in all aspects of project management and research. Specifically it involves carrying out a range of social science methods to assess i) how land managers can build capacity and learning from using GHG accounting tools and ii) governance issues related to GHG accounting tools.  The role involves contributing to the Living Lab methodology and conducting semi-structured interviews and participatory activities with farmers and stakeholders (representatives of policy making, GHG accounting, the value chain and the farming and advisory community, landowners and tenants across the UK).

Additionally, the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to academic life of the CCRI. The role will also involve writing academic papers for publication in peer-reviewed journals, presenting the research outcomes at national and international conferences, and working alongside other research staff.

This post would suit a post-graduate with proven social science skills, particularly qualitative methods including qualitative analysis and participatory methods. An interest in land use for net zero policy, practice, science and theory would be an advantage. The post provides an exciting opportunity for external liaison, with interfaces to the UK government, academia, agricultural industry across the UK; and to work in a transdisciplinary project in a new research arena

The University is committed to building a diverse and inclusive staff community and welcomes applications from currently under-represented sections of our workforce. We are proud to be a Disability Confident Leader, guaranteeing an interview to everyone who meets the definition of disability set out in the Equality Act 2010 and the essential criteria contained within the person specification.

Contact details

Candidates may contact Professor Julie Ingram (jingram@glos.ac.uk) to discuss the role.
