Participation is the inclusion of non-state actors in political decision-making and implementation. While it is widely acknowledged that governments alone are not able to meet the challenges of global environmental change, it has to be carefully analysed in how far participative approaches are a legitimate and effective alternative for traditional forms of decision-making. The emerging theme of earth system governance comprises the actors and institutions from the local to the global level to achieve a sustainable development. It is about the institutional requirements for ensuring the basic functions of the system earth in the long term. The series of courses aims to train and educate advanced doctoral students and young researchers about the latest theoretical developments and empirical and practical implications from the field. It also provides the opportunity for participants to present the results of relevant research. It finally aims at establishing a network of young researchers and developing a research agenda for the future. The training course will be held back to back with the 2008 Berlin Conference on Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change, which this year has as its main theme, "Long Term Policies - Governing Social Ecological Change."<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Theme: Earth system governance is understood as the sum of the formal and informal rule systems and actor-networks at all levels of human society (from local to global) that are set up to influence the co-evolution of human and natural systems in a way that guarantees the sustainable development of human society. The analysis of actors and institutions that contribute to the long term ensuring of basic societal and natural functions includes the hundreds of international regimes and organisations, nation states etc... It addresses their political and legal foundations and their effectiveness and legitimacy and it comprises economic, political, legal and sociological aspects. Research on earth system governance thus requires the bridging of disciplinary boundaries and research areas.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A key concern of earth system governance is the negotiation at the interface of public decision-making and societal influence, between state and civil society, marking the boundaries between government and governance. The challenges of the Human Dimension of Global Environmental Change cannot be met by intergovernmental diplomatic conferences and treaties only, but requires involvement of all parts of society.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet, how to organize the involvement of stakeholders in global and national decision-making, and what difference it makes for problem solving, is still a question insufficiently understood in the social sciences. Not at least, this includes the problem of finding new ways of ensuring legitimacy and accountability of actors beyond the confines of the nation state and beyond purely governmental activity. Participative approaches are needed, not only in Global Environmental Governance, to ensure equitable problem defining and solving, and to include all affected actors into the public decision-making process. This may guarantee wide acceptance and effective implementation, but, participation and effectiveness may occasionally stand in a conflicting relationship to each other, especially when efforts are made to include all concerned actors; often the results of decision making are least common denominators. Hence, long-term policies in particular may be more unlikely and effective governance more difficult to achieve if actors are involved who have strong interests in maintaining the status quo.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Key questions are:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>1) - (How) does participation enhance problem defining/ formation and solving in earth system governance? What patterns of participation are observed, what are preconditions for participation and what impacts does participation have? 2) - What are new problems - e.g. lack of legitimacy, green wash, capture, corruption - and how to overcome these problems? <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These questions are tackled in different disciplines of social science - international relations, political science and law. This training course brings together the different perspectives on participation in earth system governance - the empirical observations, the research questions and the analytical and methodical approaches. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The training course addresses the above questions in the following areas: 1)- Participation at the international level 3) - Participation at the national (and sub national) level 4) - Enabling participation of non-state actors in earth system governance 5) - Blind spots of participation: corruption 6) - Participation and long-term policies<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Structure of the training course: The training course offers thematic lectures from internationally renowned experts, forums for discussion of research results with the participating faculty, empirical and case study oriented modules, presentations from practitioners, a simulation exercise, and occasions for networking. The training course will run over seven days. The first two days will be introduction days during which overarching and more theoretical aspects of the topic will be taught. The remaining days will be seminar days during which empirical or practical lectures focused on one particular theme will be held. One day will be reserved for a simulation exercise.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Furthermore, the participants will have the opportunity to take part in the 2008 Berlin Conference on the Human Dimension of Global Environmental Change on the topic of Long term Policies - Governing Socio-Economic Change. The Conferences on Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change series started in 2001 in Berlin, the conferences are mid-size annual events of about 200 international participants and internationally renowned speakers selected through rigorous international peer reviews. The conferences target all social scientists working on the human dimensions of global environmental change. Each conference has a specific theme around which panel discussions and plenary meetings converge. Themes are selected with a view to bringing new and emerging topics to the European and global debate.

Participants should be involved in some form of research project (doctoral research, individual research project or part of project) on a closely related area to the theme of the training course or have a similar research background and a strong academic interest. Beyond the interest for the issues of the training course, we expect the participants to have a profound methodological knowledge in relevant approaches to analyzing participation in earth system governance (e.g. case studies and large n-studies, typological approaches and formal models). Training course participants are expected to submit a paper on their research linked to the broader context of earth system governance and participation, which will then be presented and discussed with faculty members during the training course.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In addition to the training course, a participation and presentation at the Berlin Conference is possible.

The main chemical analyses are carried out using Dionex Ion Chromatographs, and a Continuous Flow Analysis system developed at BAS. Together with other analyses on the ice carried out off-site at collaborating institutes, the chemical analyses allow us to derive palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironmental information spanning centuries (for our shallower cores) up to more than 100 kyrs for our deepest cores. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The main duty for this post will involve using the suite of Ion Chromatographs to measure the bulk chemistry of discrete samples cut from the ice core, specifically a range of anions and cations derived from marine and continental sources.

You will be involved in both routine sample analysis and in the development of new methods. You will have an affinity with modern instrumentation, and the desire to maintain the instruments in optimum working order. The second method of chemical analysis used at BAS is the Continuous Flow Analysis system which takes a section of the core, and melts it on a hot plate, passing the liquid through a series of liquid streams where reagents are added to develop chromaphores for analysis on a range of visible and UV spectrometers. You will provide assistance to the chemist responsible for this system, and be involved in both the analysis and development of new techniques. In addition, you will assist with the processing of the ice cores in the cold rooms here at BAS, working in temperatures of around -20°C, and help with the routine maintenance of the laboratories. As well as ice cores collected by our own drilling programme, we are involved in other international ice core projects, and you will be making analyses on samples from these cores, liaising with external organisations ( e.g. other European Institutes and Universities) on the collaborative analyses.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Based in Cambridge, this role offers the chance to work as part of a world-class research team in a stimulating scientific environment.
