VACANCY: SRO for the ARISE project
09 January 2026
The ARISE project is recruiting for a postdoctoral Senior Research Officer.
About the position
The SRO will study the policy networks enabling or hindering effective governance, community resilience, and implementation of place-based measures in the areas of climate adaptation, infrastructure, heritage and culture, health and wellbeing, public goods, and other issues affecting the resilience of local communities.
About the project
ARISE is a ground-breaking £3 million research initiative that studies how to develop resilience within coastal seas and communities, working with local stakeholders to design and test different ‘interventions’, or ways of tackling problems related to climate change, sea level rise, and environmental, political, and social threats.
At the end of the project, we will have a powerful and practical toolkit that informs policy and public management scholars and practitioners on how to address the challenges facing our coasts, particularly those posed by the effects of climate change on the natural, human, and built environments.
How to apply
This is a great time to join the project – many of our core activities are scheduled to launch soon, and 2026 will be a very exciting year for our team.
Full details and a link to apply are available here. The deadline for applications is 1 February 2026.
