School of International Relations
Salary: £35,333 - £38,592 per annum pro rata
Start Date: 1 November 2022, or as soon as possible
Fixed term: 9 months
We are seeking to
appoint a Research Fellow to work with Dr. Ariadne Collins (PI in School of
International Relations), Dr Lydia Cole (Co-I in School of Geography and
Sustainable Development) and Dr Theo Reeves-Evison (Birmingham School of Art)
on a research project titled 'Toward a Political Ecology of Volume'.
The project seeks to
develop a volumetric understanding of the state within the sub-discipline of
political ecology by investigating the expansion of state claims to carbon in
the atmosphere through carbon offsetting and minerals beneath the ocean floor through
deep-sea mining. With a particular focus on the Global South, the project will
investigate and visualize the colonial and volumetric dimensions of
international efforts to manage the areas traditionally known as the global
commons and threats to their sustainability.
The successful
applicant will have (or be near to completion of) a PhD in an area related to
volumetric social and ecological dynamics, including but not limited to International
Relations, Geography, the Environmental Arts and Humanities, and the Climate or
Atmospheric Sciences. Expertise in the sub-discipline of political ecology
and/or familiarity with the global commons and interdisciplinary environmental
challenges will be an asset.
The post is available
for 9 months starting 1 November 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter.
Further details of the
project can be found by contacting the principal investigator at yac1@st-andrews.ac.uk.
Applications
are particularly welcome from women, people from the Black, Asian and Minority
Ethnic (BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who are
under-represented in research posts at the University.
