Reporting to Professor Sam Fankhauser and Professor Myles Allen Vacancy reference 167749 Applications are particularly welcome and encouraged from women, black, and minority ethnic candidates, who are underrepresented in posts in SoGE. SoGE are committed to equality and values diversity. Additional information The School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena Swan Silver award in recognition of our commitment and success in addressing gender equality. The School of Geography and the Environment is committed to promoting a culture of equality, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace, including the undertaking of appropriate training as opportunities arise and/or when asked to do so. Research topic Evaluating corporate net zero strategies in the energy and fossil fuel industry, with a particular focus on climate ethics and policy Principal Investigator Professor Sam Fankhauser and Professor Myles Allen / supervisor Project team Oxford Net Zero: world-leading research enabling effective climate action to halt global warming Project web site netzeroclimate.org Funding partner The funds supporting this research project are provided by the University of Oxford Strategic Research Fund and EU Horizon The role Increasing numbers of companies are producing net zero strategies, including challenging sectors such as fossil fuel production and mining. Evaluating these strategies, and designing objective metrics of progress towards achieving them, remains work in progress. This new post is a unique translational research fellowship to advance our understanding of, and find solutions and pathways for, aligning the fossil fuel extractive industry to the global requirement to reach net zero emissions by mid-century. The post combines interdisciplinary research with industry engagement, as part of the university-wide Oxford Net Zero programme supported by the University’s Strategic Research Fund. Oxford is a member of the NEGEM H2020 consortium, which is co-funding this post, with a particular focus on commercialisation pathways for carbon dioxide removal and storage. A key component of this role will be considering the policies required to enable and incentivize the fossil fuel industry to transition to net zero emissions, with a particular focus on policies to support the scale-up of European-area (including Norway and the U.K.) capacity for carbon dioxide removal and storage. As part of the role, the researcher will bring their research insights to support the University to develop and implement its framework for evaluating the net zero commitments of companies and entities linked to the fossil fuel sector from which it is considering receipt of donations and research funding. Although the principal activity is research for publication in the open literature in accordance with academic norms, the developed insights should also support the confidential work of the University’s Committee to Review Donations and Research Funding (CRDRF) in its implementation of a framework for net zero commitment assessment. Thus the University can use its own strategically aligned research, and its evolution over time, to inform CRDRF decision-making that is consistent with the University Council approved guidelines for accepting donations and research funding from fossil fuel linked entities. The role also includes a non-stipendiary Research Fellowship at Kellogg College and the postholder will hold the Fellowship under the terms of the College Statutes and By-Laws in force at any time during the appointment. The Fellowship confers entitlements of Common Table which comprise free lunches and Guest Night Dinners (‘College Formals’) when the College Dining Hall is open as well as being invited to College-wide seminars and events. The Fellowship gives access to a Kellogg College email address and access to the College library and other facilities, which includes an arrangement to use the University Iffley Road gym and swimming pool free of charge. The Fellowship is co-terminus with the University appointment. The Oxford Net Zero Initiative Oxford Net Zero is a new initiative that draws on the University’s world-leading expertise in climate science and policy. Addressing the critical issue of how to reach global ‘net zero’ and halt global warming, it brings together leading academics from across the University’s disciplines, including Geography, Physics, Economics, Biology, Anthropology, Law and Earth Sciences. 2 The initiative will provide actionable research and new resources for policymakers and businesses at this critical juncture for international action on climate change. Essential questions that Oxford Net Zero is addressing include: • How will carbon dioxide be distributed between the atmosphere, oceans, biosphere and lithosphere? Where will it be stored, in what forms, how stable will these storage pools be, who will own them, maintain them, and be accountable for them over the short, medium and long terms? How does net zero policy extend to other greenhouse gases? How will the social license to generate, emit, capture, transport, and store carbon dioxide evolve over the coming century? How can companies and governments credibly, and in a legally enforceable manner, commit to net zero? • • • • The Programme is led by director Professor Myles Allen, alongside research director Professor Sam Fankhauser and executive director Dr Steve Smith. It is supported by a £2.2 million investment from the University’s Strategic Research Fund, which aims to develop transformative new research programmes. Further details can be found at netzeroclimate.org. The NEGEM project – Quantifying and Deploying Responsible Negative Emissions in Climate Resilient Pathways – is a Research and Innovation Action funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Programme, to assess the realistic potential of Negative Emission Technologies and Practices (NETPs) and their contribution to climate neutrality, as a supplementary strategy to emissions mitigation. Responsibilities • Develop and lead a programme of research to define what is required from the fossil fuel (oil, gas and coal) sectors and companies in order to be aligned to the goal of global net zero carbon emissions by mid-century, including a framework for evaluating the robustness of corporate net zero plans. • Adapt existing and develop new research methodologies and materials relevant to decarbonisation in the fossil fuel sector. • Develop a framework to evaluate net zero plans of the highest-carbon-risk companies (extractive fossil fuel companies, airlines, carbon-intensive industries etc), working with senior academics and building on existing frameworks and academic literature, such as the Oxford Martin Principles for a credible and sustainable net zero business plan. • Work closely with the University’s Development Office Research Team to support the provision of advice and information to the University’s Committee to Review Donations and Research Funding (CRDRF) in the development and implementation of University Council’s guidance on receipt of donations and research funding from fossil-fuel linked entities. This work will include: − bringing research insights described above to inform the work and decision-making of CRDRF; 3 − providing confidential briefings to CRDRF on the evaluation of net zero commitments of specific entities from whom the University is considering the receipt of donations or research funding. • Informed by research insights and methodologies, contribute actively to the broader research and engagement activities of Oxford Net Zero and support the University with ongoing engagement with companies and investors as to how to improve their net zero business plans and commitments. • Contribute to ongoing discussions within the University involving the broader academic, staff and student communities, regarding the University’s position regarding the fossil fuel sector. • Manage own academic research and administrative activities and use project management techniques to plan different work strands, engage stakeholders and meet deadlines. • Contribute ideas for new research projects. • Develop ideas for generating research income, and present detailed research proposals to senior researchers. • Publish research outputs in leading journals and book chapters. • Present papers at conferences or public meetings. • Act as a source of information and advice to other members of the group on methodologies and procedures. • Contribute actively to collaborative projects with colleagues from across the Oxford Net Zero programme, in partner institutions, and research groups. • Work with the University and Oxford Net Zero on nuanced strategic communications regarding the research findings and evaluation framework. • n support of the development of your research, and as a secondary commitment, undertake some teaching within SoGE including engaging in assessment and university examining. • Contribute to and enhance the academic life and community of the SoGE including taking on citizenship roles. • Kellogg College expects the researcher to contribute to the academic life of the College and act as a College Advisor to a small number of Kellogg students.

The School is internationally recognized for the quality of its teaching, research and wider engagement across the breadth of human geography, physical geography and environmental studies. Based within the Social Sciences Division, the School incorporates three affiliated research centres as well as Geography: the Environmental Change Institute (ECI), the Smith School of Enterprise and Environment (SSEE), and the Transport Studies Unit (TSU). The School is based partly within the Oxford University Centre for the Environment (OUCE) building and partly in the Dyson Perrins building, which was completely refurbished in 2022. The School’s physical location enables us to easily connect with many academic departments and organisations across the University, and we collaborate with many of them. For example, the School is an active participant in fostering the Oxford University Networks for the Environment (ONE), which links up over 1000 individuals within the University around the themes of Biodiversity, Climate, Energy, Food and Water. Our research spans issues related to the environment, climate change, energy, transport, development, geopolitics and cities. The School’s research portfolio totalled approximately £105million across more than 170 research projects in 2021/22, from a wide variety of funders. Much of this work is collaborative, and we currently estimate that research with our partners takes place in over 70 countries across the globe. We aim to contribute to the common good, and many of our researchers actively engage in advising local, national and international organisations; in giving written and oral contributions to government consultations both locally and nationally; and in engaging with others through policy, partnerships, business and social enterprise. The School also provides world-class, multidisciplinary teaching. Our Undergraduate Honour School gives undergraduate students research-led teaching across the breadth of human and physical geography and environmental studies by internationally recognised academic staff. Two hundred and fifty graduate students from a wide range of nationalities currently study for taught and research postgraduate degrees with us, in our International Graduate School. For more information the School please visit: http://www.geog.ox.ac.uk 6 The School is committed to supporting the career development of all its members. Everyone is encouraged to undertake professional training from the range offered by the School, the Division and the University's People, Organisation and Development Unit. The School has a mentoring scheme and all staff are encouraged to work with a mentor during their time at SoGE; academic staff are also encouraged to have regular meetings with the Head of School to plan their career progression. Since 1973 the Transport Studies Unit has established an international research reputation in transport research. Based within the world-leading School of Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford, the TSU approaches global transport challenges from social science and holistic perspectives. By advancing understandings of the systems, processes and practices that shape the way people and goods move, the TSU hopes to inspire and inform change towards a more sustainable, just and accessible transport system. Our position within Geography and the University fosters interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers in other parts of the University and based elsewhere. From geography to engineering, energy research to science and technology studies, and beyond, the TSU draws on the latest relevant developments in various disciplines and research fields. Our core team of researchers come from various disciplinary backgrounds, bringing with them a range of insight and expertise which enriches our research practice. Most TSU staff are full-time researchers working on specific externally funded projects. In addition to the core staff, it also hosts a number of academic visitors working more independently on cross-cutting issues. There is also an active group of international DPhil students working with individual staff. The TSU has an excellent track record in collaborative projects. TSU researchers often works in partnership with colleagues in many UK universities, and has very active and wellestablished links with universities and research institutes across the EU, the Americas, Asia and Africa. They also work with partners from international agencies, transport policymakers, local authorities, businesses and industry, employers, non-governmental organisations, and activists. For more information on the TSU please visit: http://www.tsu.ox.ac.uk Since 1991, the Environmental Change Institute has worked alongside partners in government, business, academia and the community to understand environmental change and explore possible responses to the risks and opportunities it poses. Promoting an interdisciplinary approach, ECI explores sustainable solutions to global problems ensuring a fairer and more equal world for people today and in the future. ECI has over 100 academics and researchers working around the world, establishing itself as an active and influential player in environmental change science. With a well-established track record in relation to Infrastructure, climate, energy, ecosystems, food, land use governance and water. ECI is a leading player in a number of large research activities. In 2022 there are over 80 research projects totalling over £57 million funded through the UK’s research councils and charitable foundations and trusts. We are proud of all our work but of particularly note we host the multiagency UK Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions (CREDS), understanding the role of energy demand change in accelerating the transition to a zero carbon energy system. As part of Oxford University’s strategic research Oxford Net Zero is an interdisciplinary research initiative working to track progress, align standards and inform effective solutions in climate science, law, 7 policy, economics, clean energy, transport, land and food systems and greenhouse gas removal and storage. In addition, The Oxford Programme for Sustainable Infrastructure Systems (OPSIS) is at the forefront of research and education to enable sustainable and resilient infrastructure. While the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery Centre aims to investigate how to halt and reverse ongoing nature and biodiversity loss, by understanding how implement and finance nature recovery that is scalable, effective and socially just. The ECI is also home to the MSc in Environmental Change and Management, the School’s first taught postgraduate masters ’programme, established in 1994. Through this MSc the ECI have successfully trained over 700 upcoming environmental leaders who comprise a lively and increasingly influential alumni community. For more information on the ECI please visit: http://www.eci.ox.ac.uk The Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment (SSEE) was established at the University of Oxford in 2008 with a generous benefaction by the Smith family. We bring enterprise – public and private - together with world-leading teaching and research to achieve global net-zero emissions and sustainable development. Located within the internationally top-ranked School of Geography and the Environment, we work in close collaboration with leading academics across Oxford and beyond. Decisions made this decade will determine the future of humanity and the planet. To stop the climate crisis, we need to shift global economic and financial systems towards sustainability. The Smith School’s approach combines academic excellence with real-world impact. Our research shapes business and government policy and practice. We offer innovative evidence-based solutions to the environmental challenges facing humanity. We apply expertise in economics, finance, business and law to tackle environmental and social challenges in six areas: water, climate, energy, biodiversity, food and the regenerative economy. We equip the next generation through undergraduate and graduate teaching as part of the top-ranked School of Geography and the Environment. SSEE’s new master’s course in Sustainability, Enterprise and the Environment (MSc SEE) is already one of the most applied to at Oxford. Our executive education programmes empower business leaders and policymakers throughout the world to take action. SSEE’s Advisory Board, Business Fellows and our wide-ranging external partnerships bring together experts from industry, consultancy, governments and NGOs to achieve the vision of a cleaner, fairer and more prosperous future Social Science Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups, known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The academic divisions are responsible for academic oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, for strategic and operational planning, and for personnel and resource management. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power, who is a member of the University’s Council.The Social Sciences Division is a world-leading centre of 8 research and education in the social sciences. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with activity spanning fourteen departments and faculties and one cross-divisional unit. (These are as follows: Law, the Saïd Business School, Economics, Politics and International Relations, the Blavatnik School of Government, the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, International Development, Sociology, Social Policy and Intervention, the Oxford Internet Institute, Archaeology, the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, Education, the School of Geography and the Environment and the Oxford Martin School.) Interdisciplinary links within and beyond the university are strong, extending to the humanities, natural sciences, and medical sciences. Academic and research staff and research students are engaged in world-leading research that challenges current ideas and theories and is tackling some of the major challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, migration, governance, poverty and development, and justice. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, where Oxford accounted for more world-leading (4*) research than any other institution, across the social sciences units of assessment to which it made submissions. The division has an extensive portfolio of external funders and collaborators, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £40million per year. Researchers in the division engage actively beyond academia and their research has influence in many spheres from innovation in public policymaking to practitioner communities such as law, business, education, social welfare and NGOs. The division also delivers an exceptional range of high quality educational programmes (undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), all of which are underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. Programmes range from those at the interface of the natural sciences, through to professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE); the BCL; the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in Development Studies; the MBA and EMBA; and the nationally regarded PGCE.
