Job Title: Research Associate
Education: PhD level education
FTE: 1
Term: Fixed (12 months)
The Centre for Energy Policy (CEP) is seeking to recruit a new Research Associate to join our growing research team. We are interested in candidates with research and knowledge exchange interest and experience in public policy-facing energy or net zero research. Candidates should have a broad understanding of the energy policy space and the ability to communicate complex academic research ideas to a non-expert audience, with strong written and verbal communication skills.
The post is part of a project under the UK Energy Research Centre, which examines the evidence around key contentious debates in energy policy. This project is led by Jamie Speirs, Deputy Director of CEP.
Under the guidance of research leaders in CEP, you will play a key role in delivering research and knowledge exchange projects, realizing impact and developing proposals. You will be involved in writing up research work for publication, individually or in collaboration with colleagues, and disseminating the results via peer-reviewed journal publications and presentations at conferences, as well as preparing linked non-technical policy briefs and blogs.
You will have the ability to plan and organize your own workload effectively and work within a team environment. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are essential, with the ability to listen, engage, and persuade, and to present complex information in an accessible way to a range of audiences. You will collaborate with colleagues to ensure that research advances inform departmental teaching efforts, and there will be opportunities to supervise student projects, provide advice to students, and contribute to teaching as required, for example, by running tutorials and supervising practical work.
For informal enquiries, please contact Reader and Deputy Director, CEP Jamie Fraser Speirs (jamie.speirs@strath.ac.uk).
Salary: £37,174 to £45,413 per annum
