Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Climate and Development
Closing Date: 22 December
See http://www.acdi.uct.ac.za/acdi/opportunities for more details and application process

The African Climate and Development Initiative (ACDI) wishes to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (PDRF) funded through the Carnegie Developing Emerging Academic Leaders (DEAL) programme. The DEAL programme aims to embed early career researchers within accredited research groupings at the University of Cape Town to support their development as the next generation of African researcher leaders.

The post-doctoral research fellowship is aimed at enabling a recently graduated PhD researcher to develop their own independent research within one of ACDI priority thematic areas, under the guidance of senior academic and research staff within the ACDI network.

The Carnegie Developing Emerging Academic Leaders (DEAL) programme has a focus on African early career researchers, so we particularly encourage applications from citizens from South Africa and other African countries.

ACDI is seeking candidates who propose an innovative initial two-year research programme in one of the following priority areas:

  1.  Nature based solutions for climate change

  1.  Economics and financing of climate adaptation

  1.  Governance of interacting climate and other societal crises

  1.  Synergies in poverty, inequality and climate action

  1.  Modelling and assessment of climate risk in Africa
