The Centre Administrator will support running of the JUST Centre, based in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Manchester (UoM). JUST stands for Joined-Up Sustainability Transformations and has been funded for 5 years under the ESRC’s Sustainable and Equitable Low Carbon Living call, part of UKRI’s Building a Green Future theme. JUST is a Research Centre dedicated to generating the knowledge, evidence and capacity needed for sustainability transformations within communities, organisations and sectors and moving public debate on net zero beyond current tensions and resistances towards the productive joining-up of decarbonisation and social justice so that no one is left behind. Its interdisciplinary team comes from five universities (Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool, Leeds and Lancaster) and has the Institute of Community Studies (Young Foundation) as its impact partner. A range of other non-HEI partners and stakeholders are also involved in the Centre’s programme of work. The JUST Centre will use an innovative mix of data science and participatory action research methodologies to undertake place-based research in areas across the North of England.
