Candidates with a background in space security and technology are particularly desirable for the role. Candidates with a record in interdisciplinary research at the cross-section of technology and security/policy will also be highly desirable for the role. Exceptional candidates without an explicit background in space security but with a background in security/intelligence/geopolitical research, an interest in their technological dimensions, and the potential to quickly develop space expertise as part of the role may be considered for the role. The post-holder will need to address intent and uncertainty issues in SDA using political, strategic, and/or intelligence studies analysis methods and knowledge, and show a track record or interest in the technical dimensions of SDA or space sustainability. The post-holder will be expected to conduct research in cooperation with Dr Bleddyn Bowen at SPARC and Mr Ralph Dinsley and the 3S Northumbria team as required to develop at least 1 published article, 1 policy white paper, and other, smaller items of writing such as Policy Briefs. The post-holder will also be expected to support the organisation and facilitation of a high-level dissemination workshop hosted by SPARC and 3SN at the end of the project. The post-holder must have English proficiency, qualifications in International Security/Intelligence Studies or closely related fields and preferably have an interest if not experience in relevant technical fields or space technologies/systems. There will be a modest budget available for local travel between Durham, Newcastle, and Alnwick for the post-holder to facilitate cooperation between the SPARC and 3SN. The post-holder will be supported in academic and professional mentoring with Dr Bleddyn Bowen for the duration of the appointment. The post-holder will be expected to attend various meetings and project workshops in-person at the Durham University campus, and the 3SN offices in Newcastle and/or Alnwick, as appropriate.
