Research Assistant

Grade 6 (£32,296 - £37,999 p.a. pro rata depending on experience)

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

As a Research Assistant on the “Advancing Cultural Heritage Governance for Resilient Climate Adaptation (AGREE)” project at the University of Leeds, you will be part of pioneering research that explores the intersection of cultural heritage governance and climate adaptation. This project drives transformative climate adaptation by identifying opportunities and challenges within heritage governance through case studies in the UK, Norway, and Italy, with the aim of influencing policy. AGREE champions the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) concept for integrative decision-making in climate adaptation, emphasising community resilience in the face of environmental changes. An interactive Geographic Information System (GIS) platform will illustrate the evolving relationship between heritage and climate adaptation over time. Additionally, the project will develop an innovative decision-making model grounded in the HUL paradigm, comparing current national and local policies with historical data to uncover lessons in urban resilience and changes in the built environment.
