ABOUT US
University College London (UCL) is one of the world’s top universities. Based in the heart of London, it is a dynamic, outward-looking institution. At its establishment in 1826, UCL was radical and responsive to the needs of society, and this ethos – that excellence should go hand-in-hand with enriching society – continues today.
The Department of Geography is a leading UK and global department, with a heritage of excellence in research, renowned for its innovative and interdisciplinary research to understanding complex global challenges. It brings together expertise in physical and human geography to explore critical issues such as climate change, sustainable development, and social justice. The department fosters an interdisciplinary approach, equipping students and researchers with the skills to critically engage with the complex interactions between people, places, and environments. Further details of the department are at https://www.geog.ucl.ac.uk/.
The successful candidate will be part of the CLARITY project team which will be addressing the critical need to identify equitable, sustainable and climate-resilient development pathways in tropical drylands. This project will create long term assets (data, tools) and capacities to achieve transformational change. Tropical drylands are home to some of the world’s poorest and most marginalized communities, and are highly vulnerable to climate change. In these regions, groundwater plays a vital role, sustaining water supplies and livelihoods due to its ability to buffer against climate variability. Groundwater development offers opportunities for both sustainable development and climate resilience.
