[Jobs] Fwd: FW: Recruitment of 15 Early Stage Researchers - Resourceful and resilient Community Environmental Practice

[Leora Lawton]

*Building Resourceful and Resilient Communities through Adaptive and
Transformative Environmental Practice* - ‘*RECOMS’*



*Recruitment of 15 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Early Stage Researchers*



RECOMS is a Marie Sklodowska Curie (MSCA) Innovative Training Network
funded by the European Commission (2018-2022). RECOMS is comprised of a
transdisciplinary consortium of scientists, practitioners and change agents
from eleven public, private and non-profit organisations, located in six
European Union countries: Austria, Belgium, England, Finland, Germany and
The Netherlands.



The purpose of RECOMS is to train *15 Early Stage Research (ESR) Fellows*
in innovative, transdisciplinary and transformative approaches to promoting
and facilitating *resourceful and resilient community environmental
practice*. *The 15 Early Stage Researcher vacancies are now open for
applications.*



In addition to engaging in a series of collaborative research and training
activities, *recruited ESRs will be supported in pursuing a doctoral study
project*. If you are highly motivated; inspired by learning and undertaking
innovative research, thinking and knowledge exchange across disciplines,
institutional boundaries and wider society; and wish to be part of an
advanced, international, network of creative change agents specialising in
resourceful and resilient community environmental practice; then one of
these ESR vacancies could be the ideal appointment for you.



For further information on the RECOMS project, eligibility, application
procedure and list of all 15 Early Stage Researcher posts available across
the hosting institutions, please see here

*.*



Co-supervised by academic and non-academic partners, the RECOMS ESRs will
be encouraged to critically, practically, and creatively explore the
contribution and relationships between their individual doctoral study
projects across three interconnecting research themes: *Unlocking and
Empowering*; *Adapting and Transforming; Collaborating and Connecting*.



A core feature of the RECOMS programme - both with respect to informing the
design and delivery of all the training, as well as enabling and maximising
opportunities for knowledge exchange through research and associated
outputs - will be the incorporation of a broad range of *visual and
creative research methods and modes of communication*.



The employment contracts are fixed term for 36-months, beginning September
1st 2018. The ESRs will be employed with normal social security coverage by
the host institutions and will have all benefits provided for in the
MSCA-ITN early career fellowship regulations, including a highly
competitive remuneration, living allowances and mobility
expenses.  Successful applicants will be enrolled for doctoral study at no
additional cost.



In order to be eligible to apply for this post applicants meet the
following criteria:



-          Applicants MUST – at the start date of the employment contract [1
st September 2018] – be an ‘early stage researcher’: they must be in the
