Job description:

Working closely with policy and other analysts to build the evidence base and provide analysis and advice relating to emerging aviation technologies and the environmental impacts of aviation, identifying and addressing key evidence gaps.
Working with a range of new administrative and commercial data sources on aviation to produce innovative and impactful statistical products and dashboards to disseminate aviation environment statistics internally and externally.
Embracing the use of coding languages (particularly R) and GitHub to improve the efficiency and reproducible of our analysis.
