An exciting project is looking for two enthusiastic researchers who, along with an interdisciplinary team, will push the limits of our understanding of the direct and indirect economic costs of flooding on SMEs across Yorkshire and the Humber, as well as to understand the actions that SMEs can take to effectively reduce their flood risk.

This is an iCASP-funded project in collaboration with West Yorkshire Combined Authorities, the Environment Agency, insurers, lenders, brokers, and surveyors. This project seeks to achieve significant impact by working closely with key stakeholders to improve their understanding regarding SMEs’ direct and indirect economic impacts and the property flood resilience measures that they can take to be better prepared for flooding events. The researchers will also collaborate with the York City Council in the Pathfinder project ‘Yorkshire Future Flood Resilience’.

Apply now! The closing date is 10 February 2020. For more information:

The Institute for Environmental Management and Land-use Planning (http://igeat.ulb.ac.be/) within the Department for Geosciences, Environment and Society (https://www2.ulb.ac.be/facs/sciences/dges) is seeking to appoint a new colleague to enter a full-time permanent academic position in the wider field of Environmental Humanities to reinforce its research and teaching capacities in the domain of Sustainability Sciences.
The profile is oriented to recruit a colleague with a research experience situated in the understanding of citizens/individuals/consumers as actors in societal, sustainability-oriented transition and transformation processes, be the latter wanted, imagined, governed or forced upon actors. The candidate should demonstrate research activities in the strong sustainability domain centered on the analyses at micro-levels (individuals, consumers, citizens) or meso-levels (collectives, movements, groups, initiatives, networks), while in the same time being able to link these to developments at macro-levels, for instance by questioning institutional or societal structures, or developing governance aspects. The profile excludes any mono-disciplinary approaches, and calls for candidates who anchor their work in approaches lend from the social and human sciences (in the wider sense) in order to investigate conditions or characteristics of strong sustainability by deploying pedagogical and research competences that are resolutely inter- and/or transdisciplinary.
