We are seeking a talented researcher with expertise in decision-making processes related to climate, environmental, economic, and policy pathways. We are particularly interested in candidates whose work is supported by Digital Twin technologies (modelling, simulations, and infrastructure), applied AI, and uncertainty quantification
Please read the following job description thoroughly to ensure you are the right fit for this role before applying.
This post offers an exciting opportunity to make an important contribution to the development of research in Computer Science (). It supports the newly founded JusTN0W initiative (), which takes place within the Centre for Sustainable Development Law and Policy (). JusTN0W aims to develop a world-leading interdisciplinary work programme, to research sustainable and just solutions for accelerated decarbonisation of economies. The university has committed to invest £5M over four years in this groundbreaking project.
