Role Description
About the Role
We are seeking an individual with a strong research background in natural resource economics and experience of researching challenges around sustainable, equitable, and resilient water management. The post will support the Centre’s existing research competencies in environmental and agricultural water management, including climate change and environmental impacts, ecosystem services, assessing drought impacts, flood risk management, and developing thought leadership in hydro-economic modelling, the water-energy-food nexus, and environmental economics. You will be expected to conduct high-impact, internationally excellent research; develop a vibrant and sustainable research group by leading and participating in research bid proposals to attract grant funding to support new junior research staff and students; enhance the reputation of the university through multidisciplinary collaboration, and deliver postgraduate-level teaching as part of our existing MSc programmes.
About You
You will have a relevant PhD in natural resource economics. This could be from a broad, or a more sector specific perspective, including environmental, agricultural or water resources management. You will have experience of winning and managing research grants and working in multidisciplinary collaborations with academics and industry. You will have a track record of publishing high impact journal articles and a commitment to scientific rigour. We also expect a passion for solving applied problems and track record of engaging with experts and opinion-formers in academia, industry and government.

We have been working in water for over 40 years. Our academic and research staff, including scientists, engineers, technologists, policy specialists and social scientists are engaged in delivering postgraduate teaching, research, consultancy and training in an international arena. Our core research activities are focused around eight Communities of Practice (CoPs). This vacancy is relevant to several of these but primarily those on Catchment Management, Water for Food in a Changing Climate and Water Governance and Asset Management.
