The School of Sustainable Food and Farming (SSFF) at Harper Adams University (HAU) was established in 2021 to support and accelerate the Agri-food industry on its journey towards a more sustainable agri-food future. The SSFF has secured funding for a major 2.5 year multi-institutional project that will develop and evaluate a scalable farm and food level greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting framework for use in the UK.
The successful candidate may come from an inter-disciplinary background but will be able to demonstrate a track record of academic publication related to sustainable agriculture using social science methodologies, including qualitative methods, evaluation, and reporting. Experience of working with farming stakeholders and an interest in climate change and net zero (or sustainable agriculture in general) would be welcomed, as would experience of using co-design methodologies. The role requires a candidate with excellent written and oral communication skills and an ability to interact and facilitate meetings with key stakeholders as part of the Living Lab.
