The International Risk Governance Council seeks to appoint a Research Associate with a PhD and experience in risk assessment, risk management and risk regulation.
The successful applicant will focus on supporting two IRGC projects. The first explores and explains deficits in global risk governance and links these deficits to major global problems and newly emerging risks. The second, parallel project will involve a review of different regulatory approaches and seek to develop recommendations for alternative regulatory strategies for diverse risk types.
The Research Associate will work as a member of IRGC’s Secretariat and will liaise closely with external experts, particularly members of IRGC’s Scientific and Technical Council. In addition to demonstrable knowledge of the fields of work, we require a high standard of written English and the ability to work independently.
