For example, i-CONN will evaluate statistical approaches and mathematical theories that have arisen across a range of disciplines in order that we might develop generic connectivity tools to understand better the characteristics of complex systems. i-CONN will provide interdisciplinary training integrating knowledge and methods from different disciplines and stakeholders from the public, private and NGO sectors, using a synthesis of approaches that will lead to transdisciplinarity, whereby a unity of intellectual frameworks will be created beyond the disciplinary perspectives.</p>\n<p>The ESR will collaborate in research, attend joint training events, and contribute to workshops and conferences across the i-CONN network. The ESR will be provided with a generous stipend to cover their living costs and travel for the duration of the 3 years; PhD tuition fees will be paid for this period. The ESR will also receive funds to support their participation in i-CONNs European-wide research and training events. The network of 15 ESR/PhD students will receive training through their host institute with additional training provided by visits and secondments to other host institutes and non-academic partners in the network.</p>\n<p>This full-time, fixed-term ESR position will involve study for a PhD degree and will be based in Durham University's Geography Department (Durham, UK) under the supervision of Professor John Wainwright and Dr Laura Turnbull-Lloyd, and Dr Dan Lawrence from the Archaeology Department of Durham University. The project will address changes to landscapes as they are settled by people. As human populations have settled landscapes in the past, they have changed the vegetation and surface characteristics in ways that have often led to a change in the stability of those landscapes (Wainwright, 2015). There is thus a paradox to be resolved in that landscape settlement usually produces a landscape that is less resilient and thus less able to support settlement. This project will investigate this paradox, and look at different ways in which past populations have overcome it, in order to suggest ways in which environmental management of future landscapes might best be carried out, for example as people move as a result of climate change.</p>\n","pdfUrl1":null,"location":"Durham (County) (GB)","location1":"유럽","location2":null,"location3":null,"type":"2","applyUrl":"https://www.aplitrak.com/?adid=bi5tY25laWwuNjA3OTkuODc4MUBkdXJoYW0uYXBsaXRyYWsuY29t","fileUrl1":"","fileUrl2":"","fileUrl3":"","fileUrl4":"","fileUrl5":null,"fileUrl6":null,"fileUrl7":null,"workingHour":"Full Time","contractType":"Fixed Term","salary":"£37000 - £44000 per annum","original_id":"UNI|193332","original_domain":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs","original_url":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listing/193332/early-stage-researcher/?LinkSource=PremiumListing","original_isPremium":"true","closeType":2,"closedAt":null,"requireEducation":10,"managerTel":"","managerFax":"","managerEmail":"","managerName":"DURHAM UNIVERSITY","managerPhone":"","managerAddress":null,"log_hit":4,"log_like":0,"publishState":1,"organizationName":null,"organizationName_en":null,"organizationName_alt":null,"createdAt":"2020-01-20T09:00:00.000Z","updatedAt":null},"organization":{"organizationId":588,"lv1Id":null,"lv2Id":null,"name":"Durham University","name_en":"Durham University","name_alt":null,"introduction":"<p>Durham’s University College was founded in 1832 before it was granted a Royal Charter in 1837 by King William IV, making it Durham University.</p><p>It is a Russell Group institution with a staff count of over 3,000, more than 30 per cent of whom are of non-UK origin.
