FTE: 1

Term: Fixed (36 months)

Closing date: 21 July 2024 

We seek to appoint a Research Fellow to join a major new Horizon Europe funded project “Bridging current knowledge gaps to enable the UPTAKE of carbon dioxide removal methods”. UPTAKE aims to develop resilient carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies based on strengthened scientific evidence on the social, technological, economic, and environmental characteristics of CDR technologies and their interplay. The UPTAKE consortium brings together 21 partners with well-established and world-leading expertise in CDR technology assessment, integrated assessment modelling, social science methods, and climate policy and governance issues. Strathclyde’s role is in the techno-economic assessment of CO2 geological storage (Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS) as used by DACCS and BECCS CDR methods. The project presents an exciting opportunity to carry out, publish, communicate and grow a portfolio of important, timely, collaborative, and globally relevant research.

As a Research Fellow, you will engage as an independent researcher in individual and collaborative research, establishing a distinctive programme of research and disseminating results through regular publications in high impact journals, books and conference proceedings. You will apply, as Principal Investigator and/or Co-Investigator, to appropriate external bodies for research funding and manage grants awarded. You will manage research students and staff, providing direction, support and guidance and you will participate in and develop external networks to foster research collaborations, to inform the development of research objectives and to identify potential sources of funding. You will develop knowledge exchange activities by, for example, establishing research links with industry and influencing public policy and the professions and you will collaborate with colleagues to ensure that research advances inform departmental teaching effort, including contributing to relevant teaching programmes as appropriate. You will carry out Department/School, Faculty and/or University administrative and management functions, for example through membership of committees and engage in continuous professional development.
