Offer: Research Associate on Methane Emissions:Job description:Job location: London About the function Applications are invited for a fully funded postdoctoral position on the topic of methane emissions measurement at the Research Associate level within the School of Engineering and Materials Sciences at Queen Mary University of London. The project is funded by NERC, under the supervision of Dr.Paul Balcombe. This project will be to design, build and test a new drone-located methane emissions measurement system. The work will focus on various aspects of measurement system design and testing, including assessing different sensing and hardware systems, developing a live data output and a post-processing emissions quantification algorithm. The post holder will be responsible for research activities and the development of a drone-located methane monitoring system for industrial emissions quantification, alongside another postdoctoral researcher in aerial robotics and other project collaborators. You will perform research and development methane emissions monitoring techniques, specialising in developing and testing a new system including both hardware and the emissions quantification algorithm. This is a really exciting opportunity to create a new way of measuring methane emissions, with a strong commercial sable potential and to contribute towards meeting climate change targets with better measurements. About You candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) in atmospheric science, engineering or a related discipline for appointment at the Research Associate Level. candidates must have a strong research track record in emissions measurement and/or modelling, preferably with significant practice in methane and gas sensor systems. practice in one or more of the following is essential: » Sensor development » Drone-located monitoring » Atmospheric or emissions measurement » Methane emissions modelling » Industrial emissions quantification » Uncertainty quantification of complex systems The prosperous candidate will also closely work with and supervise PhD and MSc students, and actively disseminate key research findings through publications. About the School SEMS is a large School with 108 academics, more than 250 PhD students and over 2500 undergraduate students. The skills of the School is readily available for this project.
