The successful applicant is likely to have a background in transport planning, geography, economics, or mathematics. Experience in transport modelling and GIS are essential. Knowledge of computer programming would be an advantage. Applicants should have proven academic ability, and an interest in researching the sustainability of the built environment within a quantitative framework, in collaboration with multi-disciplinary research partners.

This is a fixed term contract and the successful applicant will be appointed to either a Senior Research Associate or Research Associate post depending on experience. Senior Research Associates require experience of managing a postdoctoral research project on a day to day basis or completing a bid for funds (or equivalent professional experience). Research Associates are normally postdoctoral or with equivalent professional experience. This post may also be available on a part time pro-rata basis.

The Department of Management in the School of Economics, Finance and Management at the University of Bristol is seeking to appoint a Teaching Associate in Management. The post is part-time (0.4 full-time equivalent) and temporary (on a fixed-term contract of twelve months in the first instance) starting from 1st October or as soon as possible thereafter.

We are seeking someone with experience and proven skills in teaching, able to lecture and run tutorial classes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and, ideally, supervise postgraduate dissertations. Specifically, you will be required to teach general principles of management and will be able to contribute to the teaching of at least one of the specialist areas of: strategic management; management science; and marketing.

Applications are invited from highly motivated candidates for a Research Officer position funded by the Chris Lucas Trust in the Section of Molecular Carcinogenesis.
Individuals will join the successful Molecular Cytogenetics Team led by Dr. Janet Shipley that aims to identify molecular therapeutic targets for a childhood sarcoma, called rhabdomyosarcoma, through investigations of their tumour-associated genetics and molecular biology.

The European Business School (EBS), International University Schloss Reichartshausen in Wiesbaden/Oestrich-Winkel, is on a dynamic course of international expansion. Consistently ranked among the leading business schools in the country, EBS not only offers high-quality teaching and research but also sets new standards in executive education.
As part of this development process, EBS took part in the cluster of excellence competition launched by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The cluster of excellence co-initiated by EBS was among the top five winners. We have an immediate vacancy for a

The successful applicant will deal with problems of management from an integrated perspective in the context of the Executive MBA and in other programmes of the ES-HSG. This will include the development of existing executive education modules in this area and the conception of new courses highlighting integrated management. It is also intended that the successful applicant will take over the directorship of the Executive MBA programme. In parallel with this main task, he/she will be engaged in research and in (under)graduate teaching at the HSG. There will be a possibility of joining an HSG institute and of thus finding an environment that will guarantee an optimal combination of functions in executive education, and teaching and research at the University.

You will be responsible for providing technical support at all stages of the research process including training students and staff, setting up equipment, collecting data, collating and analysing research results, developing new research methodologies, as well as responsibility for Health and Safety and Good Research Practice.
From time to time the nature of the research may require you or your team to travel within the UK and abroad (eg Australia, Botswana, South Africa) and may involve long or unsocial hours (eg very early morning starts at horse racing yards) and work in non-laboratory conditions (eg on farms). These all contribute to making the job interesting and varied.

The Irish Longitudinal study on Ageing (TILDA) is a major inter-institutional initiative led by Trinity College Dublin which aims to produce a massive improvement in the quantity and quality of data, research and information relating to older people and ageing in Ireland. It involves interviews on a two yearly basis with a large cohort of people aged 50 and over to collect detailed information on all aspects of their lives, including the economic dimension (pensions, employment, living standards etc.), health aspects (physical, mental, service needs and usage etc.) and social aspects (contact with friends and kin, formal and informal care, social participation etc.)

A behavioral perspective on Supply Chain Management focuses on the attributes of human behavior and cognition that impact the design, management, and improvement of supply chains. This perspective may employ different empirical methods, such as experiments and surveys, and may build upon different levels of analysis, such as the individual (i.e. bounded rationality of individual decision takers) and the group (i.e. studies that explore the impact of social variables such as trust, dependency and learning on supply chain performance).

Climate-biosphere interactions play an important role in shaping future pathways of the Earth System, yet there is substantial uncertainty in current modelling efforts. Reducing this uncertainty requires a systematic assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of current global biosphere models. We are seeking a highly-motivated scientist to build a comprehensive benchmarking system to critically evaluate global biosphere models used for Earth system modelling. Particular emphasis will be given to integrating new observations that constrain ecosystem responses to perturbations such as those arising from climatic changes. The successful candidate will actively participate in network-wide workshops and training events.
