3-year postdoc in environmental politics at Dublin City University

[Diarmuid Torney]

Dear all,

I am advertising a 3-year postdoc position in environmental politics here at Dublin City University. The position will be based at the DCU School of Law and Government and Centre for Climate and Society.

The postdoctoral researcher will work across two externally-funded research projects (50% of time devoted to each project):

• RETOOL: Strengthening democratic governance for climate transitions, a new Horizon Europe project coordinated by DCU that seeks to advance our understanding of how to address the twin challenges of responding to the climate imperative while strengthening and reinvigorating democratic governance. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to conceptual and empirical research on climate change and democracy, including conceptualizing types of democracy and democratic institutions in a multilevel context and empirical research on the evolving roles of democratic institutions in climate governance.

• Climate + Biodiversity and Water Co-Centre, a major new tri-jurisdictional (Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Great Britain) research centre focused on the interlinked challenges of climate change, biodiversity, and water quality and co-funded by Science Foundation Ireland, the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs of Northern Ireland, and UK Research and Innovation. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to a project led by DCU entitled “Strengthening policy and governance frameworks for climate, biodiversity and water quality”.

Applicants must have a PhD in environmental politics or a cognate discipline. The job advert is available here:
