The role

About us

BSEER brings together four world-leading institutes to generate sustainable solutions and real-world impact across the built environment, energy, resources and heritage.

Our Institute for Sustainable Heritage (ISH) delivers ground-breaking, cross-disciplinary research and teaching to sustain cultural heritage for future generations.

About the role

The main purpose of this job is to support ISH's contribution to the Centre of Excellence in Green Heritage Science. The Green Heritage Science Centre of Excellence (GreenHer) is a new European research hub coordinated by the University of Ljubljana, bringing together institutions across Slovenia and Italy to advance conservation, sustainable heritage management, participatory engagement, and digital heritage. To enable this, the post holder will be required to support the implementation of pilot research projects in collaboration with Slovenian and Italian collaborators on the project and will also be responsible for coordinating and developing collaborative bids for research funding.

This post is available from 1 December 2026 and is funded for 36 months in the first instance; further funding to support the post may become available.

A job description and person specification can be accessed at the bottom of this page.

UCL welcomes applications from international applicants and has licence to sponsor individuals who require a visa. This is dependent on the post and candidate meeting eligibility requirements for visa sponsorship under UK Visas and Immigration legislation.

About you

You will hold a PhD (or equivalent research experience) in heritage science, archaeology, conservation, sustainability or a related discipline, with a track record of designing and delivering successful research projects. Experience applying Living Labs or other participatory research methodologies would be an advantage.

Our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

As London's Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world's talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL's workforce. These include people from ethnic minority backgrounds; disabled people; LGBTQI+ people; and for our Grade 9 and 10 roles, women. Our department holds an Athena SWAN Silver award in recognition of our commitment and demonstrable impact in advancing gender equality.
