Contract type: Fixed term contract
Fixed Term Period: For 24 months

Role Description
How can governance strategies support the uptake of net zero hydrogen technologies and systems (H2NZ)? How do we ensure that in bringing about H2NZ energy transitions we do so responsibly and support a just energy transition? Come and join the Global Hydrogen Production Technologies (HyPT) Center to create a step change in the development of responsible hydrogen ecosystems and accelerate the pace of decarbonisation of energy systems globally. About the Role HyPT seeks to accelerate the development of net zero hydrogen technologies and ecosystems in a sustainable and just manner. You will be joining the global HyPT center to support the work programme on policies, economics, and markets. Your role will be to contribute to designing and assessing the effectiveness of alternative governance measures and strategies to accelerate the social acceptability and uptake of net zero hydrogen technologies and systems (H2NZ) and support a just energy transition. Using a socio-technical systems view, you will devise pathways that foster a social and governance environment that is receptive to H2NZ uptake. With a focus on four hydrogen niche case studies with our partner countries in Canada, USA and Australia, you will work with multiple stakeholder groups to map drivers and challenges to H2NZ production at scale. You will evaluate incumbent governance regimes globally and support the team in establishing a set of adaptive governance principles, community engagement strategies, and policy frameworks with best practice recommendations taking into account the specific challenges and opportunities hydrogen production brings. It is very likely that the project will involve international travel to our partner countries in Canada, USA and /or Australia. The Global Hydrogen Production Technologies Center (HyPT) is a multidisciplinary and multi-institute project with £14.1million funding from the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the National Science Foundation (USA), the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (Australia) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (Canada). The UK funding (£6.2 million) comes via Building a Green Future Fund and International Science Partnerships Fund. HyPT is led in the UK by Cranfield University in collaboration with Arizona State University (USA), the University of Toronto (Canada), and the University of Adelaide (Australia). The UK project team involves academics from Imperial College London, Newcastle University, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Birmingham who are involved in the development of net zero technologies. It is expected that you will be working closely with them in developing an understanding of characteristics, and so potential social impacts and opportunities, of net zero hydrogen technologies. About You You will be educated to doctoral level (or close to completion) in political science, sociology or other social sciences, or law, and will have experience in working with diverse stakeholders, designing and implementing qualitative research methods, and analysing qualitative data. PhD from other disciplines, particularly energy, environment and engineering related fields, will be considered if there is experience with governance systems and/or qualitative research methods and a clearly expressed desire to move into a career in socio-technical transitions. About Us As a specialist postgraduate university, Cranfield's world-class expertise, large-scale facilities and unrivalled industry partnerships are creating leaders in technology and management globally. Learn more about Cranfield and our unique impact here. Cranfield's expertise in energy and power covers a wide range of potential energy solutions, from our ongoing relationship with oil and gas, to our developing reliance on renewable energy from the world around us. The changing energy landscape presents exciting opportunities and the potential for the UK to lead in new technologies and services related to low carbon energy and sustainability generation. Learn more about Energy and Sustainability The Centre for Energy Systems and Strategy (CESS) is a hub for leading-edge research, teaching and consultancy that helps individuals, businesses and policy makers by modelling and analysing the requirements and needs of the energy and power consumers and the underlying infrastructure systems using socio-technical frameworks.
