Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) is an international non-profit research and policy organization that tackles environment and development challenges. We connect science and decision-making to develop solutions for a sustainable future for all. Across our eight centres in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, we engage with policy processes, development action and business practice throughout the world.
SEI York is embedded in the environment department at the University of York. The centre’s research falls into five broad categories: air quality and climate change; naturesociety relations; sustainable consumption and production; managing natural resources; and urban environments and human health. Areas of expertise include citizen science and other participatory approaches, and engagement with policy-makers and the private sector.
The University strives to be diverse and inclusive – a place where we can ALL be ourselves.
We particularly encourage applications from people who identify as Black, Asian or from a Minority Ethnic background, who are underrepresented at the University.
We offer family friendly, flexible working arrangements, with forums and inclusive facilities to support our staff. #EqualityAtYork
