This is a senior level position to which we are looking to recruit a policy-
focused and experienced researcher with knowledge and expertise in the field
of energy demand and use. The ideal candidate will have considerable
experience of policy focused research, a commensurate track record of
publications in peer-reviewed journals, and a track record in funded research
and engagement.



You will have a strong established record of scientific achievement and
profile as an emerging leader in your field. The candidate must have
demonstrable interest in the policy relevance of their work and a desire and
drive for impacting change.



The post holder will be expected to complement and build on the existing
strengths of the ECI’s Energy Programme and play a leading role in the
management of the Energy Programme. The Senior Research Fellow will have
responsibility for the development of the programme’s strategic direction,
contributing to the overarching vision and managing staff performance. The
post holder will be expected to undertake the role of Principal Investigator
on research projects, demonstrating and providing academic leadership to more
junior members of the team including doctoral students.



You will sit on the senior leadership board for the Environmental Change
Institute and actively seek cross-disciplinary opportunities that involve ECI
colleagues. Collaboration and teamwork are central to the ECI, so being able
to work closely with colleagues in the area of environmental sustainability is
vital.
