Department
The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) is an international research organisation conducting policy-relevant environmental and sustainable development research around the World. SEI’s York Centre is situated at the world-leading University of York and has a team of 55 staff and 16 PhD students. SEI York has a broad research profile covering five main research areas: air quality and climate change; nature-society relations; sustainable consumption and production; managing natural resources, and urban environments and human health. We have a strong academic track record as well as an international reputation of producing highly credible evidence-based science-to-policy research, engaging with and supporting decision makers at different scales in different parts of the World.
We are seeking to employ a research associate to work on two projects: ROSSY – the Retrofit One-Stop Shop for York and Y-PIP – the Yorkshire Policy Innovation Partnership.
Role Description
The successful candidate will primarily focus on activities related to stakeholder engagement around the different business models for one-stop shops in the ROSSY project. You will also focus on stakeholder consultation with historic building owners, planning authorities and national bodies with a responsibility of historic buildings such as Historic England, Civic Trusts, and relevant societies, as well as project partners, to establish how key barriers to the implementation of Net Zero measures in these historic parts of York and other cities / rural areas can proceed successfully. You will support the M&E process for the project and assist, if required, in the development and presentation of the LEAP tool being used to help climate strategy development and tracking progress in implementation.
You will be working as part of a team who are currently involved with different projects covering climate and air quality strategy support using the LEAP tool, use of Geographic Information Systems as part of spatial planning, stakeholder engagement and policy support, and who are working closely with City of York Council, York Civic Trust and other relevant stakeholders. In this project the team will also work closely with Leeds Beckett University and the Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission.
