Since 1990, Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS) has forged a reputation as a centre of rigorous thinking and high-impact transformative education, situated within one of the world's most prestigious research universities, and in the heart of the Cambridge Cluster, the most successful technology entrepreneurship cluster in Europe. Cambridge Judge Business School is a highly ranked modern business school (ranked 1st in the most recent UK Research Excellence Framework in 2021), located at the heart of an 800-year-old University, with an ambitious and collegial faculty in the Economics & Policy group. The group has developed a reputation for research that is rigorous, original, and consequential, as evidenced by a strong publication record, deep engagement with regulators and practitioners, and high-profile media coverage. Economics & Policy faculty publish regularly in leading economics journals, including the American Economic Review, European Journal of Political Economy, and The Review of Economics and Statistics. The Economics & Policy group at CJBS is looking to recruit an Assistant/Associate Professor in Economics & Policy (with or without tenure, depending on the candidate's record). Our group aims to enhance its global visibility through high-impact research outputs, including publications in leading Economics journals and the successful placement of PhD graduates in academic careers. Ideal candidates will demonstrate a strong record of impactful research, evidenced by their publications and a robust pipeline of working papers. Additionally, candidates should possess excellent teaching experience in premium business school programmes (such as Master of Finance, MBA, Executive MBA) and Executive Education engagements. Although we will consider candidates in all areas of economics and policy, preference will be given to candidates doing research and teaching in the following areas: Economics of energy Climate change and the environment Behavioural economics and policy Industrial economics and regulatory policy Economics of innovation, AI and the internet Innovation policy and trade policy You will be expected to contribute to teaching courses at undergraduate, graduate, and post-experience levels. However, our teaching loads are relatively low by US and European standards, allowing you to focus on research. The teaching associated with the post may cover core and elective courses on the MBA, EMBA, MFin, MPhil/PhD programmes, and undergraduate/tripos programmes. Project administration and dissertation supervision are also expected in this role. We are looking for an anticipated start date of between 1 September 2025 and 1 September 2026 and offer a competitive package of benefits. Application requirements: Job market paper Cover letter explaining your interest in the post Evidence of teaching performance Please also provide the names and contact details of three referees via the online form. We will request references directly for longlisted candidates. Referees will be asked to comment specifically on the candidate's suitability for this role. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to visit Cambridge for a departmental visit, informal discussions with faculty, a presentation, and a formal interview. We particularly welcome applications from female candidates and individuals from BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) backgrounds, as these groups are currently underrepresented at this level within our department. If you are interested in this role, we encourage you to apply promptly. The closing date for this advertisement may be earlier than initially indicated should a number of suitably qualified candidates submit applications. We also reserve the right to extend the closing date, if necessary, until the position is filled.

Remote sensing of fire effects on soil organic carbon Wildfire occurrence and severity are known to be influenced by ecosystem hydrology, with peatland fires depending on soil moisture. Recent work has demonstrated the large impact of wildfires on soil drying, which can have implications for further wildfires and long-term carbon fluxes from peatlands. This postdoctoral research associate post will use remote sensing data to assess wildfire occurrence, severity, and ecosystem recovery, combined with remote sensing of soil moisture and plant water content. The post will initially be for 9 months with the possibility of a 15-month extension. It will be based in Cambridge but allow for travel to Stanford University in California to collaborate with other researchers, Prof. Alexandra Konings, and spend time with Adam Pellegrini's Stanford-based lab. Collaborations at Cambridge will include Prof. David Edwards. Skills required: Extensive Python/R experience evaluating remote sensing datasets at the global scale. Familiarity with MODIS, SMAP, VOD and other products evaluating ecosystem water content and wildfires. Familiarity with peatland distribution maps and carbon fluxes. Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 9 months in the first instance. Please quote reference PD45057 on your application and in any correspondence about this vacancy.

Corroborative approaches using cell culture and molecular techniques will also be important. There will be opportunities to present data at conferences and to write both primary research and review papers. The successful applicant will be expected to provide singlehanded or collaborative supervision to undergraduate students and Masters students, within a supportive and collegial laboratory environment.

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the group of Dr Erik Clark at the Department of Genetics in central Cambridge. We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic individual to join a small interdisciplinary team investigating the robust patterning of the early Drosophila embryo. The role will involve developing and applying cutting-edge imaging approaches in Drosophila and Tribolium embryos, plus computational analysis of the resulting data. Your primary responsibility will be to establish and optimise new techniques in the lab, including live imaging of gene expression in Drosophila embryos and multiplexed fixed imaging of gene expression in Tribolium embryos. Significant previous experience with Drosophila and Tribolium husbandry, advanced imaging, and image analysis is essential for the role. Experience with CRISPR/Cas9 would also be helpful. The context of the project is the evolution of anteroposterior patterning networks across insects. A background in and enthusiasm for insect evolutionary developmental biology is highly desirable for the role. The role will involve independently leading your own project while teaching and learning from other lab members and external collaborators. A friendly, collaborative attitude and good organisational and communication skills are essential. Suitable applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant scientific discipline. They should be able to demonstrate a thorough working knowledge of relevant wet-lab, imaging, and computational techniques, and be confident in delivering training in these techniques to other lab members. They should also have experience in presenting research to different audiences, contributing to publications, and helping to lead group discussions. The position is fixed term for a period of 18 months in the first instance and is available from 1st April 2025. Please quote reference PC45080 on your application and in any correspondence about this vacancy.
