Do you want to be part of a motivated, innovative and transdisciplinary team developing solutions to inequities driven by the place, space and pace of where people live? Do you want to work with world leading experts in health and social care, the geographies (human and physical), social and political sciences, design and innovation, and climate and environment to take on the most important challenges to rural and coastal health and wellbeing? Do you want to be out in the real world working with diverse groups in rural and coastal communities one day, working on rich data sets with teams in the local integrated care system the next and then finishing the week with a ‘design for health’ hackathon with rural young people to develop tools for increasing climate and health literacy? If the answer is 'yes!' then this is the job for you, and Lincoln is the place to do it. The University of Lincoln is seeking to appoint a Professor in Climate Change and Health to join the Lincoln Institute for Rural and Coastal Health. At the heart of one of the world’s great historic cities, research at the University of Lincoln engages in transforming lives and communities. In recent years the city has seen significant investment in redeveloping areas of the city centre and the University was awarded the prestigious Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher Education in 2023. The Lincoln Institute for Rural and Coastal Health (LIRCH) is the country's first integrated and multidisciplinary research institute dedicated to rural and coastal health research. LIRCH has been awarded £10.9 million funding from Research England’s Expanding Excellence in England (E3) fund and is in the process of significant expansion. As part of this expansion, the University will recruit to over twenty research positions. A technical and professional services team will also be embedded within the Institute to support the research and develop a financially sustainable research Institute. With this expanded capacity, the Institute will bring together multiple disciplines to produce impactful research helping to tackle the place-based inequalities experienced by rural, coastal, and remote communities. LIRCH aims to create the future academic and community leaders of rural and coastal health. The appointed Professor will be pivotal in achieving this by playing an active role in co-designing and shaping the emerging discipline, alongside affected communities. The Professor in Climate Change and Health will lead the LIRCH academic and technical team in investigating health outcomes accounting for the impacts of climate change and environmental inequalities experienced by rural, coastal, and remote communities. This includes understanding community and infrastructure readiness for the integration of place-led interventions. This will be predominately a research focused role.
