> SPATIAL MODELLER
> To integrate social, economic and biophysical information on household
> behaviour, land use and transport to help analyse trajectories of rural
> communities towards low carbon economies. Applicants should have knowledge
> of Geographical Information Systems and experience in integrated analysis
> of biophysical and socio-economic data. An interest in climate change
> issues would be highly desirable. Experience in emerging simulation
> modelling approaches (e.g. agent-based, Bayesian) and implementing
> biophysical models in a spatially explicit framework would also be
> advantageous.
> Starting salary within the range £24,200 - £41,800 per annum with
> excellent employee benefits. Closing date 5th April 2007.

> ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMIST
> To explore the accuracy of widely used carbon accounting procedures, and
> the factors contributing to the variance around mean values of GHG impacts
> of the activities of different sectors. Applicants should have an
> awareness of the strengths and weaknesses of alternative policy
> instruments to address GHG reduction. An ability to critically interrogate
> data sources on GHG use and impacts, appraise GHG reduction strategies and
> apply economic evaluation techniques at regional levels is important.
> Starting salary within the range £24,200 - £41,800 per annum with
> excellent employee benefits. Closing date 5th April 2007.
>
>
> ENVIRONMENTAL PSYCHOLOGIST/SOCIOLOGIST
> To examine the links between attitudes, values, behaviour and other
> factors that might influence actors’ responses to climate change, and
> factors that could influence the uptake of GHG-reducing actions.
> Applicants should have experience of how people perceive their
> interactions with the environment and response to climate change issues.
> In addressing these questions, the post-holder is invited to consider both
> well established and recently emerging psychological and/or sociological
> research methods.

> OFFICER
> The Global Land Project (GLP) is an international joint project between
> the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the
> International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP), aimed at understanding
> changes in the interaction between people and their environments. The GLP
> is coordinated through the International Project Office in Copenhagen, and
> delivered via a network of Nodal Offices and GLP-endorsed projects. A GLP
> Nodal Office on Integration and Synthesis is being established jointly
> between the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute and the University of
> Aberdeen. The activities of the Nodal Office are to: run international
> workshops and conferences; publish relevant scientific and policy-related
> material; facilitate collaborative and integrative activities; and develop
> funding proposals to support the GLP scientific agenda focussed on
> integration and synthesis in land-use systems.
> We are seeking to recruit an Executive Officer for the Office to play a
> key part in the delivery of these objectives. Applicants should have a
> doctorate in a relevant subject, an appreciation of land-use systems as
> socio-ecological systems, and a specific interest in some aspect of
> modelling their dynamics which can be developed within their personal
> research programme. The successful applicant will have a good scientific
> publications record, experience of publishing in the popular media, and
> excellent interpersonal, facilitation, presentational and organisational
> skills. The post would particularly suit a postdoctoral researcher wishing
> to develop his or her career in an international context.
