The Department of Geography invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate to join the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship project ‘Constructing Climate Coloniality: Histories, Knowledges and Materialities of Climate Adaptation in Southern Africa’.

The fellowship, led by Dr Matthew Hannaford, is an ambitious and transdisciplinary project about the emergence, evolution and ongoing forms of climate coloniality in southern Africa, specifically western Zimbabwe, southern Mozambique and southern Malawi. It aims to build new, usable pasts of climate extremes, colonial marginalisation and local agency by drawing upon diverse archival collections. Through co-production with project partners and local stakeholders, a further key goal is to determine ways to integrate these histories into foresight planning to drive equitable and sustainable climate change adaptation.

You will develop, conduct and publish work on the (trans)formation of knowledges and practices relating to climate in southern Mozambique during the 19th and early-20th centuries, primarily through archival research. You will also shape and contribute to co-production workshops in the project areas. The position offers an exceptional opportunity for an individual aiming to lead interdisciplinary, high-impact research through collaboration with leading researchers in the field. You will be expected to meet regularly with other project members and will be required to travel in the UK and internationally for data collection, co-production and dissemination activities.

You will have a PhD (or be nearing completion) in History, Geography, or a related area. Experience of archival and/or oral history research is essential, as is a research profile in African history, environmental/climate history or historical geography. You should have a good track record of publishing in the field. An aptitude for interdisciplinary team working and excellent written and spoken communication skills are essential. Knowledge of languages relevant to the project area is highly desirable.

If you would like further information or an informal discussion about this exciting opportunity, please contact Dr Matthew Hannaford, UKRI Future Leaders Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Human Geography, at mhannaford@lincoln.ac.uk
