Research Assistant / Research Associate in Modelling Greenhouse-Gas Fluxes at Landscape Scales
Applications are invited for a Research Assistant/ Research Associate position to work as part of the flagship Centre for Landscape Regeneration (CLR). The CLR is an ambitious programme of research that aims to provide the knowledge and tools needed to regenerate the British countryside using cost-effective nature-based solutions.
The successful candidate will make a key contribution to the assessment of how alternative land management practices impact greenhouse-gas fluxes through the development and application of sophisticated modelling tools. The work will involve model development on the Cambridge High Performance Computing facility, where the current code is implemented.
Eligible candidates must have a background in simulation modelling and a proven ability to communicate results. They should have obtained, or will soon obtain, a PhD (or have equivalent experience). Candidates with a background in environmental or related sciences are particularly encouraged to apply, but we will also consider those with other numerical backgrounds such as in computer science, mathematics (pure or applied), or engineering.
