The post is open ended and is based in the Department of Psychiatry at the Warneford Hospital.
You will play a strategic role in shaping the department’s research agenda in this field, examining both direct (e.g. trauma, displacement) and indirect (e.g. eco-anxiety, climate-related stressors) of climate change on child mental health. You will have the opportunity to develop intervention strategies to improve mental health, particularly in low-resource settings, and translate research into actionable policy recommendations.
This post presents an exceptional opportunity to establish a foundational research program in an urgent and expanding field. You will contribute to global efforts to mitigate the mental health consequences of climate change and develop evidence-based solutions that improve the mental health of future generations.
The post will be held in association with Reuben College, and the successful candidate will be appointed to a coterminous Official Fellowship at Reuben College for an initial 5-year period, with renewal dependent on satisfactory performance in college duties. As a Fellow, you will participate in the governance, intellectual life and interdisciplinary activities of this graduate College.
The successful candidate will have a PhD or equivalent in clinical or experimental psychology, psychiatry, public health, sociology or relevant discipline. With a strong track record of securing competitive research funding and publishing influential research, you will have a clear vision for how to develop and expand the field of climate change and child mental health, both within Oxford and internationally.
Deadline: noon, Monday 16 June
