Lancaster Environment Centre is making a major investment in Sustainability Science by creating up to four Lectureships with an emphasis on social and inter-disciplinary science. This initiative is part of our mission to become a key global player in Sustainability
research which focuses on the search for solutions to major global challenges while going beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. </p>

Ideal candidates will apply social science approaches to sustainability research in a way that addresses the interactions between natural and social systems and identifies pathways to meeting human needs and dignity whilst conserving the planet’s life-support
systems. We welcome candidates whose research promotes the design of institutions, policies and practices that support sustainable development and links knowledge with actions. In particular, we seek exceptional early-career researchers who address grand
challenges of global environmental change, including: climate change mitigation and adaptation; governance of social-ecological systems; vulnerability and resilience; sustainable development and poverty alleviation; food security; demography, migration and
consumption; urban development; land-use change and biodiversity loss; and the sustainable management of natural resources. We seek future research leaders from across the social and economic sciences, including both quantitative and qualitative approaches,
working at local to global scales.</p>

Lancaster Environment Centre offers a unique platform for developing sustainability research. Our large world-class community has established strengths in inter-disciplinary global change research. Applicants will be welcomed into relevant inter-disciplinary
research themes, but we are also interested in talented individuals demonstrating leadership in their own area of research.</p>
