Research Fellow, Co-Centre for Climate+ Biodiversity+ Water - Belfast, United Kingdom - QUEENS UNIVERSITY BELFAST
Description
Application closing date: 10/06/2024
Salary: £37,841 per annum
Job category/type: Research
About the job
The Co-Centre for Climate+ Biodiversity+ Water is seeking to recruit an experienced and motivated Research Fellow to play an active role as part of a new research project team across several Schools at Queen's University Belfast. The Co-Centre is an exciting new tri-jurisdictional initiative spanning Northern Ireland, Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland, which is managed jointly by QUB and Trinity College Dublin and funded by the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), DAERA and UKRI. This post is available for 24 months. Fixed term contract posts are available for the stated period in the first instance but in particular circumstances may be renewed or made permanent subject to availability of funding.
The Co-Centre will seek to be the home of research, innovation, and policy development across the interlinked challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and water degradation on the islands of Ireland and Britain, with the goal of integrating research across both islands to address these crises. The Research Fellow will assist in the Monitoring Platform which aims to develop new monitoring approaches and evidence-based research results for climate, biodiversity and water to support effective decision-making. This post will specifically assist in the Monitoring Platform Project which aims to deliver a holistic understanding of peatland restoration past, present and future, through digital technologies.
Working as part of a team, this post will investigate the development of digital innovation and data fusion approaches to combine in situ measurement with remotely sensed data, to investigate peatland change over time and more broadly terrestrial ecosystem changes related to extreme events.
The post will be part of the School of Natural and Built Environment but will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team based in the dedicated Co-Centre Hub.
The key activities and responsibilities of the post include:
