NERC/DEFRA Policy placement secondment opportunity
Applications are invited for a new 18 months, part time (25-30%), policy placement secondment opportunity to work with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) on its Atmosphere and Local Environment Programme (ALE) in London.
This secondment is offered as part of NERC's policy placement fellowship scheme (http://www.nerc.ac.uk/using/publicsector/placements.asp) which allows researchers and other staff involved in environmental science research to work closely with policy-makers within government and other public and third sector organisations in the UK.
The purpose of this policy placement is to provide a technical lead for air quality modelling. The Atmosphere and Local Environment (ALE) Programme in Defra has recently undertaken a review of it atmospheric modelling portfolio lead by an independent steering group. Building on the recommendations from the review, Defra is now developing a strategy for atmospheric modelling. The strategy will ensure future evidence needs for policy development are met through activities which will need implementing and managing in the short, medium and long term.
Further details are available at http://www.nerc.ac.uk/using/publicsector/fellowship.asp
Please see ?fellowship placement current opportunities? PDF
