The Role
The researcher will be an important part of the Resilience and Development Group of the Environmental Change Institute and will be part of a team of researchers collaborating together across ECI and academic partner institutions to deliver the Greening Finance for Nature flagship of the UKRI Integrating Finance and Biodiversity (IFB) Programme. The researcher will have the opportunity to contribute to and/or lead one or more defined projects within the IFB programme as well as across our wider research portfolio, e.g. the Resilient Planet Initiative, for example:
You will contribute to research on quantitative methods to develop and test metrics, analytical tools and frameworks to assess nature-related risks, impacts and dependencies and the alignment of finance with biodiversity goals. This particularly includes (i) nature-climate-economy modelling, and (ii) geospatial data analytics. You will work in interdisciplinary teams as part of academic research collaborations across Oxford, the UK and internationally and have opportunities to lead applied research projects with a range of stakeholders, including civil society organisations, multilateral development banks, Central Banks and supervisors, banks, insurers, asset owners and asset managers and government.
The researcher will report to Dr Nicola Ranger in the Environmental Change Institute, the Programme Leader on Resilience and Development, as well as have opportunities to collaborate with other senior researchers across the university and internationally.
