The Bartlett Development Planning Unit (DPU) at University College London (UCL) is an international centre specialising in academic teaching, practical training, research and consultancy in the fields of urban and regional development and planning. It is concerned with promoting sustainable forms of development, understanding rapid urbanisation and encouraging innovation in the policy, planning and management responses to the economic, social and environmental development of cities and regions, especially in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction (BSSC) is one of the world’s leading academic centres of excellence in the management of projects, infrastructure delivery, construction and infrastructure economics and finance, real estate and urban economics, digital transformations in facilities and built asset management, and sustainable and data-driven change in the construction industry and its supply chains. Staff have strong international links with other leading global universities, and strategic relationships with relevant parts of government, key organisations in specific fields and major companies, in and beyond construction and infrastructure.

Main purpose of the job
Based in the DPU and BSSC’s vibrant hive of activity in London (UK), we are hiring two full time post-doctoral research fellows (PDRFs) to work on a new three-year UKRI project entitled, ‘Listen, Learn & Leap: Co-producing Equitable and Sustainable Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilience in East African Cities’.
Led by Associate Professor Jordana Ramalho at the Bartlett Development Planning Unit, UCL, LISTEN, LEARN & LEAP is an international project that aims to explore the socio-political factors that support the uptake, sustainability and institutionalisation of nature-based solutions (NbS) in two important East African capital cities, Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, with an explicit focus on the needs and active involvement of young people, and especially women and girls.
LISTEN, LEARN & LEAP will be delivered in partnership with partners and organisations based in Africa, and in direct engagement with academic institutions, consultants as well as local communitybased organisations. The project follows a methodology of knowledge co-production, combining quantitative and qualitative methods with processes that integrate the knowledge of urban practitioners and communities through participatory processes.
