The University of Aberdeen is an internationally recognised centre for excellence for research addressing the global challenges of energy transition and security, biodiversity loss and climate change, social inequality, and cultural diversity, improving health, nutrition and well-being, and emerging technologies in data and artificial intelligence. Our interdisciplinary research crosses the broad themes of understanding across these global challenges.

The University of Aberdeen seek to appoint three dynamic, collegial, and creative individuals who wish to embrace the opportunities of interdisciplinary research. Applicants should be ambitious in their vision for interdisciplinary research and education, be able to build on the University’s existing internal and external networks, further develop the research culture, and be prepared to contribute to change to meet the requirements of students, staff, research funders and the organisations we interact with.

In 2020, the University launched Aberdeen 2040, their 20-year strategy which has interdisciplinary thinking at its heart, with an explicit commitment to directly address these global challenges through an interdisciplinary lens. The five Interdisciplinary Challenge Areas bring together experts in multi-disciplinary groups to research and develop innovative solutions to address and find solutions for these global issues.
