{"job":{"jobId":3130,"fk_accountId":null,"fk_organizationId":735,"title":"Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Indigenous and Local Knowledges","description":"\nDepartment of Geography\nLocation: Egham\nSalary: £37,979 per annum - including London Allowance\nClosing Date: Sunday 23 February 2020\nInterview Date: To be confirmed\nFull-Time, Fixed-Term (48 months)\nApplications are invited for the post of Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Indigenous and local knowledge's within the Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires, Environment and Society.\nThe Centre was established in 2019 and is comprised of social and natural scientists from Imperial College, Kings College, Royal Holloway and University of Reading, working together to create a new, integrative science of wildfire. The aim of the Centre is: to understand what factors govern wildfire regimes, including the sources, frequency, intensity, timing, and spatial pattern of fire; develop ways of predicting fire risks that include new biophysical understanding and account more reflexively for human-environment dynamics; quantify the impacts of fire on natural processes and human systems, including assessing their economic consequences and wider cultural meanings; and develop ideas for living with fire. The post holder will therefore join a vibrant interdisciplinary research community with a joint vision of producing evidence-based understanding of the human-fire nexus that can help inform policy and practice.\nThis post will involve the conceptualisation and development of a framework and methodology that explicitly considers Indigenous and local communities’ fire knowledges within larger scale models of fire dynamics. This will involve designing and undertaking a global analysis of studies undertaken on Indigenous and local fire management, and their different forms of knowledge. It will include gathering supporting evidence for Indigenous and local communities’ fire knowledges through social science methods including ethnographic assessments, participatory workshops, observational studies and quantitative data collection. The PDRA will be required to carry out periods of international fieldwork, sometimes several weeks at a time, and in challenging developing rural settings. They will work closely with a large number of academics, postdoctoral researchers and PhD students across the natural and social sciences in order to build the framework and methodology that will contribute to interdisciplinary scientific understanding of fire, its drivers, and its impacts. The PDRA will also have the opportunity to both lead and to contribute to publications arising from the project and to present results at UK and international conferences.\nThe successful candidate will hold, or will have recently submitted, a PhD in a relevant field, and will have significant experience of Indigenous and/or local community knowledge, both qualitative and quantitative social science research methods, and local level fieldwork.\nThis is a full time post for four years, immediately available from the 1st October 2019, or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful applicant will join one of the UK’s strongest Geography Departments, ranked 2nd in the UK in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework and consistently ranked highly in the National Student Survey. The successful applicant will be a member of the world-leading Geopolitics, Development, Security and Justice (GDSJ) Research Group. The GDSJ group works on issues of mobility, security, governance, justice and rights across political, development, environmental and social geography, both in and across the Global North and Global South.\nIn return we offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package including:\n<ul>\n<li>Generous annual leave entitlement </li>\n<li>Training and Development opportunities</li>\n<li>Pension Scheme with generous employer contribution </li>\n<li>Various schemes including Cycle to Work, Season Ticket Loans and help with the cost of Eyesight testing. </li>\n<li>Free parking</li>\n</ul>\nThe post is based in Egham, Surrey where the College is situated in a beautiful, leafy campus near to Windsor Great Park and within commuting distance from London.

Social reformer Elizabeth Jesser Reid founded Bedford College in 1849 while Royal Holloway was founded by Victorian entrepreneur and philanthropist Thomas Holloway, and opened by Queen Victoria in 1886. The colleges became part of the University of London in 1900 and after becoming co-educational in 1965 the two colleges merged in 1985 to become Royal Holloway, University of London.&nbsp;The university is set on a 135 acre campus, which is located in Egham, Surrey, 40 minutes south west of central London and just 7 miles from Heathrow airport.&nbsp;A state-of-the-art library at the heart of the campus offers more than 1,250 study seats and different zones to accommodate every type of study: silent, social, creative and collaborative.
