Applications are invited for a nine-month policy placement secondment opportunity based in EA Bristol offices to work on the use of transient and steady state climate change information to improve decision making for climate change adaptation.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to the methods used to underpin adaptation decision-making in some of the most important sectors for the UK. The fellow will also support existing NERC climate adaptation activities in Living With Environment Change (LWEC) and Environmental Science to Services Partnership (ESSP).

The post is part of the NERC Knowledge Exchange Policy Placement Fellowship scheme which allows researchers to work closely with policy-makers within government. The aims of the scheme are to enable access to scientific research to inform UK policy-making and provide researchers with a wider context for their work and opportunities for career and skill development.

Closing date: 12 June 2012
