The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) is the UK's largest funder of independent environmental science, training and innovation, delivered through universities and research centres. On behalf of the Belmont Forum, NERC is seeking to support the development of a globally-recognised cross-disciplinary training curriculum to expand human capacity in technology and data-intensive analysis methods for global change research. The requirement of the Human Dimensions Champion (HDC) will be to coordinate the identification and analysis of existing training provision across all Belmont Forum members and related agencies, and organise a scoping workshop to define an overall curriculum.
