The University of Leeds are looking for an enthusiastic and able Research Fellow to join the ESRC funded Place-based Climate Action Network (PCAN) (see https://pcancities.org.uk). The post will be based in Leeds, but will work closely with PCAN partners in the LSE, University of Edinburgh and Queens University Belfast. The post will directly support the development of the Leeds Climate Commission (http://leeds.candocities.org) and similar commissions currently being developed in Belfast and Edinburgh.
