New arrivals, new adverts, and a goodbye

By Chris Littlecott

Our batch of job adverts back in August resulted in a huge response - we received over 100 applicants for the researcher position alone. We’ve now completed hiring for those positions, and new staff members will be joining us shortly, starting later this week. Biographies will follow just as soon as the new arrivals are through the door.

We’re also now starting recruitment on 2 programme leader positions to contribute to our Climate and Energy Security work. The roles will be focused on delivering our activities in Europe (particularly relating to Carbon Capture and Storage technology), and on efforts to achieve a ‘global deal’ on climate change in 2009-10. Individual job adverts will provide full details shortly.

And we’d like to take this opportunity to thank our former researcher Marina Brutinel for all her hard work, insights, persistence, and flair over the last 2 years. Marina has now moved back to France to study a Masters in the Economics of Sustainable Development in developing countries. The course is organised jointly by Cerdi (CNRS Research Centre on Development Economics) and the AFD (Agence Française de Développement), and includes a 6 month placement in a developing or transition country. We wish Marina all the best.
