Subject: Durham Junior Research Fellowships Dear Colleagues, Durham University has recently launched a new Research Fellowship scheme for early career researchers with signficant research experience to join our academic community. The scheme is open to researchers who have not spent more than 12 months in the UK in the past three years. Research Fellows will be based at one of the University's Institutes - full details about the scheme are available here:<http://www.dur.ac.uk/ias/diferens/junior/>http://www.dur.ac.uk/ias/diferens/junior/<http://www.dur.ac.uk/ias/diferens/junior/%3Ehttp://www.dur.ac.uk/ias/diferens/junior/> We would very much welcome applications to the hold a Fellowship at the Durham Energy Institute.Currently, we are developing our interdisciplinary energy research in five key areas: - Reconfiguring energy demand (we have a particular strength in the emergence of smart grids, practices of energy consumption, and issues of energy poverty and justice) - Low carbon cities and communities - Clean electricity futures (production and consumption of low-carbon electriticy, including solar, wind, micro-hydro) - Energy for Development - Emerging energy technologies: risks and security (with specific specialty in areas of biofuels and CCS) I would be very grateful if you could pass on information about this opportunity through your networks. As this is the first year of the scheme and we have only recently been awarded the funding, the timetable is tight and the deadline for applications (supported by a Durham host) is August 10th. Interested applicants should contact an academic within the University to host their research project, but either myself or Richard Davies, Director of DEI, will be happy to assist with this process (contact: <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]><mailto:[email protected]><mailto:[email protected]%3E>) We will be running this scheme in future years, and would be delighted to hear from those interested in developing applications for future years as well. -- Matthew Paterson École d'études politiques, Université d'Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 6N5 tel: +1 613 562-5800 x1716 Web site: http://www.socialsciences.uottawa.ca/pol/eng/profdetails.asp?ID=123 And http://matpaterson.wordpress.com/ Co-editor, Global Environmental Politics http://www.mitpressjournals.org/gep Latest books "Climate capitalism: global warming and the transformation of the global economy" (with Peter Newell) http://www.cambridge.org/us/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521194857 And "Cultural Political Economy" (edited, with Jacqueline Best) http://www.routledgepolitics.com/books/Cultural-Political-Economy-isbn9780415489324
