The Cyprus Institute (CyI) is a European Non-profit Science and Technology oriented Educational and Research Institution based in Cyprus and led by an acclaimed Board of Trustees. The research agenda of the CyI is pursued at its five Research Centers: the Energy Environment Water Research Centre (EEWRC), the Computation-based Science and Technology Research Center (CaSToRC), the Science and Technology in Archaeology and Culture Research Center (STARC), the Climate and Atmosphere Research Center (CARE-C) and the Science and Technology Driven Policy and Innovation Research Center (STeDI-RC). Considerable cross-center interaction is a characteristic of the Institute’s culture.
The Cyprus Institute invites applications for a highly motivated and qualified individual to join the Institute as a Research Assistant in our interdisciplinary research team of STeDI-RC.

This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a high-impact international project and work at the intersection of environmental science, sustainable tourism, and policy development.

The role demands a good understanding of the environmental impact of tourism, particularly in food consumption, and a commitment to developing innovative solutions for behavioral and transformative change in the tourism sector of Cyprus.
The period of the appointment will be for a duration of two years with the possibility of renewal, depending on performance and availability of funds. An internationally competitive remuneration package will be offered, which is commensurate with the level of experience of the successful candidate.
