Academic Vacancies

The Tees Valley Climate Change Partnership was formed in 2005 by 5 local
authorities, the Environment Agency, Renew Tees Valley and Scottish
power. It is a three year project aimed at the creation and delivery of
a Climate Change Strategy for the sub-region.

In year 1 a Climate Change Strategy and baseline analysis has been
completed which will go out to consultation at the end of June. We are
now seeking a highly motivated individual to move the project forward in
years 2 and 3 during which organisations must be engaged and committed
to agreement of targets and to take action accordingly.

Applicants should be graduates with a good degree in a relevant subject
and be familiar with the key drivers behind the climate change agenda.
The post is offered on the basis that 2 years of funding to October 2008
are currently secure.

CVs should be submitted by e-mail to david.lacey@tadea.com no later than
Friday 7 July 2006. Interviews will follow by the end of July and the
successful candidate is expected to be in post by 1 September for a
short hand-over period.

..........additional information...........

Tees Valley is one of the European hubs for the biofuels industry with a
second biodiesel refinery being built in the the next 5 years, along
with a bioethanol plant and a rapeseed crush to produce domestic
biodiesel. We have a Fleet and Fuelling project which is focused on
driving the alternative fuel market in the Tees Valley.

The post is both exciting and challenging. It was the first of its kind
in the UK and has been so successful the NE Regional Assembly has
replicated the position at the regional level.

The coordinator would work independently for most of the time, and
therefore we require strong communication, analytical and research
skills, in addition to a certain level of flare where candidates can
demonstrate a level of lateral thinking.

For an individual who is passionate about climate change and the
opportunities that it brings this would be an ideal post. The company
are fantastic to work for with a great work ethic . The successful
candidate will have the opportunity to be involved in projects with the
CPI Fuel Cell Application Facility, Government Office North East, One
North East (Regional Development Agency), Environment Agency, Rural
Communities Council, Regional Assembly, CarbonNeutral Northeast, DTI,
DEFRA and many more.

If any applicant would like to discuss any elements of the job with me,
