Research Fellow in Atmospheric Ice Nucleation
University of Leeds
Leeds, United Kingdom
Job posting number: #7262598 (Ref:ENVEE1744)
Posted: July 14, 2024
Job Description
Would you like to help to bring about the transition to sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) that will help reduce the climate impact of aviation, do you have an established background in experimental cloud and aerosol research and do you want to further your career in a one of the world’s leading atmospheric science institutes?
You will become a key member of the SAFice team focused on quantifying the concentration of ice-forming particles emitted from burning SAF in jet engines rather than fossil kerosine. SAFice is a new NERC funded project based in Leeds involving partners in Sheffield and Imperial. It will make use of the new PINE chamber, for counting ice-forming particles (Ponsonby et al. 2024), and also the new jet engine test rig at the Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) in Sheffield. SAFice is one of 10 projects funded through a NERC call focussed on understanding aviation’s non-CO2 impacts on climate, which is in turn part of a £1.7 Billion investment in making the UK’s aviation sector more competitive (Innovate UK, ATI). Hence, you will be well-positioned in the expanding field offering a solution to a climate problem.
This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
