Research Fellow - Bioenergy: Economics and Sustainability Modelling
Job description
Queen's University is at the forefront of the transition to renewable energy and a sustainable, carbon neutral future. The Bioenergy Group in the Bryden Centre at Queen's University is an energetic and very successful research team. Operating across academic and industry boundaries we deliver effective real-world solutions to displace fossil fuels with
biogenic carbon. Delivering successful outcomes to industry, government and communities requires more than just technology. We work with colleagues in different disciplines and organisations to develop a holistic, system-based approach to ensure each challenge is addressed with the optimum solution.
Your role will be to work across academic boundaries to investigate and model the integration of renewable energy technologies into the supply of biofuels. Important aspects of your work will include looking at the overall environmental and economic sustainability of different technology approaches and overcoming barriers to adoption of potential solutions. You should expect a high level of engagement with industry, regional government and other stakeholders in order to deliver your role successfully.
This post is available for a period of 18 months with a strict end date of 31 December 2021.
Queen's University Belfast is a driver of innovation based on our talented, multinational workforce. Throughout the University, our academics are collaborating across disciplines to develop new discoveries and insights, working with outside agencies and institutions on projects of international significance. We are connected and networked with strategic partnerships across the world, helping us to expand our impact on wider society locally, nationally and globally. The University is committed to attracting, retaining and developing the best global talent within an environment that enables them to realise their full potential.
The School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering is fully committed to the Athena SWAN Charter to encourage the advancement of the careers of women in science, engineering and technology (SET) in higher education and research. Our policies are in line with the University leadership in fostering an ethos of gender equality. In April 2012, QUB was the first UK University to be awarded a Silver institutional Athena SWAN Award. We are ranked 1st in the UK for knowledge transfer partnerships, (Innovate UK) 9th in the UK for University facilities (Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2018) and 14th in the UK for research quality (Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019).
Based in Belfast, a modern capital city, our beautiful campus is surrounded by abundant acres of parkland and is renowned as one of the safest and affordable cities in the UK. The choice of local Schools from pre-nursery upwards are some of the best available, and lovers of the outdoors can enjoy any number of activities from rowing and kayaking to top class golf among many others. We are immensely proud of what our city and our University will offer you.
The successful candidate must have:
*
Have a PhD or about to receive a PhD in Data Analysis, Economics, Process or Business Modelling or equivalent in engineering, a science related discipline, computer science or business management/economics related field
*
At least three years recent relevant research experience.
*
Track record of publication appropriate to career stage.
*
Experience in modelling one or more of energy systems, power networks, bioenergy or equivalent from either an economic, process yield or sustainability perspective.
*
Experience of working with commercial companies.
