The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research. We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee.  Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.  

The role

Applications are invited from enthusiastic and talented individuals at the post-doctorate research level to work at the Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE ; www.surrey.ac.uk/gcare ), University of Surrey, UK, under the supervision of Professor Prashant Kumar . GCARE is a multidisciplinary centre, researching areas of air pollution, air-climate interactions, and built and natural environments in the context of cities, megacities and rural areas, with an aim to develop engineering-driven solutions and regulatory strategies for the mitigation of environmental risks by means of advanced measurements and modelling techniques. The GCARE’s research projects are funded by the UKRI (e.g., EPSRC, NERC, ESRC, Innovate UK), numerous national and international funding bodies (e.g., EU H2020, British Council, UKIERI) and the industry. 

 The appointee will contribute to the COTRACE/SAMHE project, along with existing projects (e.g., EU Horizon Europe HealthySailing; NERC GreenCities, UKRI RECLAIM Network Plus), dissemination of GCARE’s research activities nationally and internationally, and support the writing of new grant applications. The appointee will be based at the University of Surrey’s GCARE and will be expected to work closely with the other members of the GCARE team and the project collaborators. You will be expected to make short stays with partner institutions for collaborative research activities.

You will be responsible for supporting indoor/outdoor air pollution monitoring in the field and the lab, green infrastructure efficacy monitoring/modelling, and advanced statistical analysis packages (e.g., R, MatLab), health impact assessment and be self-driven and independent to log, clean, share, assess, interpret the collected data and results to publish in top-ranked journals and write any associated reports. Working closely with other team members at PhD/post-doc level, you will also be responsible for organising and participating in field experimental campaigns.

About you

We are looking for researchers with a PhD degree (or who will receive a PhD degree by 1 July 2024) in the fields of civil, mechanical, chemical, environmental, computer or transportation engineering, physics, chemistry or mathematical sciences or related disciplines.

 The candidate should be motivated and enthusiastic to work in a multidisciplinary environment. They should be flexible in adjusting to project activities and must have experience in communicating findings in top-ranked journals. We also ask for good written and spoken English language skills, and preferably with a UK/EU/International driving licence.
