Post-doc, EU Shale Gas Controversies, Birmingham UK
Dear all <br> <br>The University of Birmingham is hiring a 10-months post-doctoral <br>researcher to join my ESRC-funded grant 'Geo-logics and Geo-politics: <br>The Collective Governance of EU Shale Gas Development': <br>https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BLF457/research-fellow-in-eu-shale-gas-controversies/. <br> <br> <br>Please circulate widely to potential candidates and feel free to contact <br>me with any questions via email k.kama@bham.ac.uk. The deadline for <br>applications is *31st January*, with interviews scheduled on 21st February. <br> <br>___ <br> <br>*Research Fellow in EU Shale Gas Controversies* <br> <br>The prospect of shale gas development has generated remarkable <br>scientific and political controversy across Europe, with countries <br>taking opposite approaches by either embracing or banning the industry. <br>Given the lack of reliable geological knowledge and prevailing <br>uncertainties in exploring new subsurface resources, what is the <br>potential of these controversies to transform science-policy relations <br>and public engagement with extractive industries? The post-doc joins an <br>ESRC-funded project ‘Geo-logics and Geo-politics: The Collective <br>Governance of European Shale Gas Development’ to explore this question <br>at the level of both the EU and national authorities (Poland and the <br>UK). This research also engages with emerging conceptual debates on <br>‘political geology’ across the social sciences. <br> <br>The post-doc will collect primary data through a variety of social <br>science research methods, which requires travelling for overseas <br>fieldwork. They must be able to present research outputs to different <br>audiences through both oral and written mediums, and to contribute to <br>the organisation of project’s events, as well as future research <br>networks and collaborations. <br> <br>Previous experience in qualitative research methods, including <br>interviews, participant observation and field research. Excellent <br>written and spoken communication skills in English, and ability to <br>communicate complex ideas clearly. Experience in social network analysis <br>and additional language skills in Polish or German are desired, but not <br>essential. <br> <br>The candidate should hold a PhD/DPhil degree (or have submitted by the <br>time of interview) in Human Geography, Science and Technology Studies, <br>Anthropology, Sociology or a related discipline. It is desirable to have <br>previous experience in the analysis of techno-scientific controversies, <br>particularly in the context of extractive industries and/or energy <br>transformations. <br> <br>Full time starting salary is normally in the range £30,395 to £39,609. <br>With potential progression once in post to £42,036 a year. <br> <br>*Closing date: 31st January 2019 Reference: 59660* <br> <br>Applications must be submitted via the University of Birmingham website. <br>A full job description is available here: <br>http://www.download.bham.ac.uk/vacancies/jd/59660A.pdf. <br> <br>Further information on the ESRC grant can be found at: <br>https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=ES%2FN016351%2F2. <br> <br>___ <br> <br>Best wishes <br> <br>Kärg Kama <br> <br>-- <br>Lecturer in Human Geography, University of Birmingham <br>Email: K.Kama@bham.ac.uk <br>https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/gees/kama-karg.aspx <br> <br>Honorary Research Associate, University of Oxford <br>https://www.geog.ox.ac.uk/staff/kkama.html <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
