This RENEW funded post is available from 1 April 2023 until 1 April 2026.

We welcome applications from candidates interested in working part-time hours or job-sharing arrangements.

The post

The College wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to participate in in the ‘Communities’ team of the NERC-funded project “Renewing biodiversity through a people-in-nature approach (RENEW).” The wider RENEW partnership seeks to develop solutions to one of the major environmental challenges for humankind, the renewal of biodiversity. It is funded by NERC and involves 33 project partners. The programme includes academics and partners across environmental sciences, data science, environmental intelligence, social sciences, humanities, arts, and business.

The post entails investigating how creative writing may take participants and communities on a journey from the page to action that renews biodiversity. We want to explore how poetry makes things happen. You will be responsible for co-designing and delivering creative-writing projects with our partners, including The Book Trust, Poetry Society and National Trust. You will produce your own creative outputs as well as lead, deliver and evaluate community engagement projects for which you are responsible. Extending from your research interests and RENEW’s priorities, you will use your public engagement and pedagogical skills to explore how narratives and metaphors for biodiversity may alter according to individual and collective experiences of biodiversity. You will collaborate with ecologists exploring links and gaps between biodiversity and human experiences of it. The holistic evidence drawn from your research will shape our research focus and the narratives RENEW presents to the public.

The successful applicant will work closely with Dr John Wedgwood Clarke and Dr Regan Early in the ‘Communities’ Theme 2 Team, who will be co-ordinating their own creative practice and ecological research into biodiversity mapping and renewal.
