Research Assistant (SHAPE-ENERGY)

Short term opportunity, full or part-time, on EU-funded project, SHAPE-ENERGY: Social Sciences and Humanities for Advancing Policy in European Energy.

This 2 million Euro EUHorizon 2020 project will be the European Platform for energy-related social sciences and humanities (energy-SSH). SHAPE-NERGY will run from 1st February 2017 for two years (the post will commence within a few weeks/months of 01/02/17).

It is led by the Global Sustainability Institute at Anglia Ruskin University (Cambridge, UK) and includes 12 other partners across Europe. Visit: www.anglia.ac.uk/global-sustainability-institute-gsi/research/consumpion-and-change/shape-energy for more details.

The role will primarily involve literature review and scoping work, as part of the (foundational) work package 1 of the project. The positon has been purposefully designed so that its timing and duration is flexible, thereby allowing a PhD researcher to do it alongside their writing-up. The researcher would need to have experience of energy-SSH research. More information, and how to apply, please contact Dr Rosie Robison (rosie.robison@anglia.ac.uk) and Dr Chris Foulds (chris.foulds@anglia.ac.uk)

Application deadline is 30th November, with interviews taking place on Tuesday 13 December (in Cambridge)
