The Grantham Institute for Climate Change was established in February
2007 with a multi-year, multi-million donation from the Grantham
Foundation for the Protection of the Environment. Its vision is to
become a world-leading Institute generating and communicating the
highest quality research on climate-driven change, how it affects
ecosystems and human welfare and on developing the technological,
market and policy solutions needed to mitigate and adapt to change at
both global and local level.
Applications are invited for lectureships and readerships in any of
the areas of fundamental earth systems science, climate change
impacts on ecosystems and human welfare, mitigation, adaptation and
climate policy research. There are several appointments to be made
across all three Faculties of Engineering, Medicine and Natural
Sciences, and the Tanaka Business School. Fixed term 3 year
Fellowships will be advertised separately. The precise number and
type of appointments will depend on the quality and experience of the
applicants.
You must have an exceptional research record and are expected
actively to contribute to the dynamic multidisciplinary research
environment within the Institute. Candidates would be expected to
have a PhD or equivalent in a relevant research field.
Research areas should complement or strengthen existing activities
which can be found on the following website: http://

A strong partnership in this area is envisaged with the University of
Reading.
