Dear friends and colleagues (apologies for cross-posting)

I'm currently advertising for a senior research associate in
grassroots innovations for sustainable consumption, and hope that
you'll be able to pass this advert on to any potentially-interested
researchers you know,

thankyou,

Gill



SENIOR RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
Ref: RA583

£29,704 to £34,435 per annum

The researcher will work with Dr Gill Seyfang on 'Harnessing
Grassroots Innovations: Complementary Currencies and Sustainability',
funded by The Leverhulme Trust. The project examines complementary
currencies, a diverse global movement of community-led initiatives for
sustainability, assessing their innovative characteristics, diffusion
strategies and success, relating findings to wider debates on
innovation, socio-technical transitions and sustainable development,
drawing lessons for sustainability practitioners and policymakers. You
must have (or be about to obtain), a PhD (or equivalent) and have a
broad knowledge of current research on community initiatives for
sustainability. The post is available for two years from 1 October 2009.
