On the 1 August 2026, the University of Greenwich and the University of Kent will form a pioneering new multi-university group called London and South-East (LASE) University Group.
Should you join us, you will be employed by LASE but will work as part of the University of Greenwich academic division, contributing to its distinct strengths, community, and identity while also being part of a wider group that brings together the scale, resilience, and shared ambition of both universities.
Through LASE, we aim to deliver outstanding education, impactful research, and meaningful regional and global impact.
We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to work on research and knowledge exchange projects in safety and security. Joining the research team led by Professor Aoife Hunt, the successful candidate will contribute to the delivery of high-quality, impactful research and consultancy work. This role offers an opportunity to work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment, contributing to both academic outputs and broader knowledge exchange and impact activities.
Based within the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences on the World Heritage site at the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, you will be part of an expansion of our world-leading Multi-Disciplinary and Multi-Scale Modelling team (M34Impact). As part of this expansion, you will contribute to tackling major societal challenges affecting the environment, quality of life, safety, security, and the economy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
In this role, you will work within the Centre for Safety, Resilience and Protective Security (CSRPS) and will strengthen the Safety and Security theme of M34Impact. With expertise in modelling and in human behaviour, you will expand M34Impact’s and CSRPS’s capacity to conduct high-quality work in these areas.
