About this position
The University of Greenwich is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Indigenous Peoples’ Food Systems, based at the Medway Campus within the Natural Resources Institute (NRI), Faculty of Engineering and Science.
The post is part of IP-STATS, a five-year ERC-funded project advancing epistemically diverse quantitative research on Indigenous Peoples’ food systems. The successful researcher will join the Livelihoods and Institutions Department and work with an interdisciplinary and intercultural team, Indigenous Peoples’ organisations and communities.
Research activities will examine the relationships between food sovereignty, health, nutrition, livelihoods, culture, environment and self-determination. Responsibilities include co-designing culturally grounded food-systems research questions, reviewing nutrition and public-health evidence, undertaking quantitative, qualitative and participatory research, and helping develop, pilot and disseminate the IP-STATS toolkit.
Relevant expertise in nutrition, public health, food systems, agriculture, livelihoods or related fields is sought. Applicants should have long-term lived experience and substantive knowledge of Indigenous Peoples’ cultures, rights, priorities and contemporary issues, together with the ability to communicate respectfully and inclusively with Indigenous communities. Candidates who self-identify as Indigenous are particularly encouraged to apply.
This is a fixed-term postdoctoral position from 1 January 2027 to 31 July 2029, with a salary of £39,560–£45,641 per annum. The closing date is 4 November 2026.
