Additional information 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. While this is a full-time role we can support flexible working arrangements (for instance if you have caring responsibilities) in agreement with the SSEE Director. The Oxford Sustainable Law Programme (SLP) and the Climate Litigation Lab (CLL) The Oxford Sustainable Law Programme (SLP), launched in 2021, is a rapidly growing, world-leading hub for research, education, and engagement at the intersection of law and sustainability. Our mission is to advance a just and sustainable world by leveraging law for people and nature, and our work is multidisciplinary, informed by practice, and impact-oriented. Led by Dr Thom Wetzer, Associate Professor of Law and Finance, the SLP's work currently focuses on four themes: business and financial law, net zero commitments, science and the law, and climate change litigation. In addition to producing cutting edge research in these areas, we also educate the leaders of today and tomorrow and engage actively with governments, the private sector, NGOs, and beyond to translate our insights into impact. Housed at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, the SLP is a partnership with the Faculty of Law and the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford. The Climate Litigation Lab (CLL), launched in 2022 and led by Dr Benjamin Franta, is a multidisciplinary research group within the SLP informing climate litigation activity around the world. We interface with climate litigation practitioners and stakeholders across jurisdictions to understand the strategic and evidentiary landscape informing climate litigation efforts and conduct research across the natural, social, and legal sciences to help enable just and effective legal outcomes at scale. The CLL also engages with teaching and research carried out across the SLP and beyond to advance litigation-relevant insights. The role As a member of the Climate Litigation Lab and the Sustainable Law Programme at the Smith School of Enterprise and Environment, the post holder will develop research outputs to help inform and shape climate change damages litigation globally. Reporting to Dr Benjamin Franta, Senior Research Fellow in Climate Litigation, the post holder will be a member of a research group with responsibility for carrying out research for the Climate Litigation Lab’s work to inform climate damages litigation.

We are looking to appoint a Research Associate in Climate Damages Analysis to the Climate Litigation Lab and the Sustainable Law Programme at the Smith School of Enterprise and Environment (SSEE), School of Geography and the Environment (SoGE).

 

Reporting to Dr Benjamin Franta, Senior Research Fellow in Climate Litigation, the post holder will be a member of a research group with responsibility for carrying out research for the Climate Litigation Lab’s work to inform climate damages litigation. The post holder will provide guidance to junior members of the research group including research assistants, PhD students, and/or project volunteers.

 

The post holder will develop and deliver high-value, innovative scientific research outputs, including peer reviewed articles, to inform and shape climate damages litigation across jurisdictions globally. You will communicate effectively and form working connections with external groups and stakeholders from a range of sectors, including litigators, NGOs, private sector representatives, regulatory bodies, and more. The successful candidate will be expected to drive and steer the research agenda for high impact in conjunction with the broader Climate Litigation Lab, Sustainable Law Programme, and Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment. You will manage academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management to coordinate multiple aspects of work and meet deadlines.

 

You will hold a relevant PhD/DPhil. You will have evidence of potential for producing research of world-leading quality on climate damages attribution and/or quantification during the tenure of the post. You will need an ability to develop, prioritize, and execute high-impact research agendas independently and in collaboration with others. An ability to collaborate with researchers from other fields, including fields that may be unfamiliar to the post holder, is essential. You will have excellent communication skills, including the ability to write for publication, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings.

 

Applications are particularly welcome and encouraged from women, black, and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in posts in SoGE. SoGE and SSEE are committed to equality and value diversity.

 

This post is fixed term for 2 years in the first instance.

 

The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 19 July 2024, and interviews will be taking place in late-July/early-August.

 

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. You will be required to upload a CV and a supporting statement as part of your online application.
